The wastewater treatment plants have been selected for participation in the monitoring programme
Switzerland and Hungary have been working together for more than 15 years to reduce economic and social disparities in Hungary. In a spirit of solidarity, Switzerland participates in sharing the cost of EU enlargement, so this is the second period in which Hungary benefits from the Swiss Contribution.
The cooperation program supports developments that contribute to economic growth, job creation, the further improvement of public security, the environment protection, health, and the promotion of research and innovation throughout the country. The developments provide an opportunity to broaden the mutually beneficial partnership between our countries and to establish further cooperation.

Within the framework of the wastewater management objective of the programme SM07-WWM Improving water quality in Hungary, this year’s first in-person meeting of the Professional Steering Board was held on 24 April 2025, in the panoramic Wolfram meeting room of the Ministry of Energy. As part of the professional programme following the meeting, the participants visited the wastewater treatment plant in Vác operated by DMRV Danube Regional Waterworks Ltd.
