Committee on National Cohesion
In the Hungarian Parliament issues concerning Hungarians living beyond the border were previously discussed in the Committee on Foreign Affairs (between 2006 and 2010 in the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Hungarians Living Beyond the Border). On 1 January 2011 the Committee on National Cohesion (CNC; in Hungarian NÖB/Nemzeti Összetartozás Bizottsága) was established, which deals specifically with the issues of Hungarians beyond the borders. The establishment of the committee was also symbolically significant because there was no independent committee in the Hungarian Parliament dealing with kin-state policy or the issue of Hungarians beyond the borders. The Committee on National Cohesion maintains contact with the social and political organisations of Hungarians beyond the border, monitors the events of Hungarian national policy and the work of institutions involved in kin-state policy. The panel hears the heads of the ministries also responsible for kin-state policy issues and will discuss the annual report of Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd. (Bethlen Gábor Fund). On 15 May 2018 the Subcommittee on Autonomy was set up within the Committee on National Cohesion .
