Allicencelési

Allicencelési is a term encountered in Hungarian policy discussions to describe a centralized or consolidated approach to licensing that spans multiple regulatory domains. The concept is used to discuss how a single framework, or a tightly coordinated set of procedures, can replace or streamline a bundle of sector-specific licenses.

Definition and scope. In theoretical and comparative debates, allicencelési refers to a licensing regime designed to unify application, assessment, and monitoring across several areas—such as environmental permits, business registrations, data handling, product approvals, and professional qualifications. Proponents argue that a unified framework can harmonize standards and reduce overlapping requirements, while still allowing sector-specific safeguards where necessary.

Implementation approaches. Possible models include the creation of a central licensing authority with cross-sector competence, the establishment of a single-window system where applicants submit one set of information, and the use of a shared registry that interoperates with agency-specific systems. Digital platforms, standardized criteria, and risk-based assessment are commonly discussed elements to enable efficiency and transparency.

Benefits and challenges. Supporters highlight reduced administrative burdens, improved regulatory coherence, faster decision times, and easier compliance for firms operating in multiple sectors. Critics warn of over-centralization, potential bottlenecks, reduced agency autonomy, and risks to transparency if centralized processes become opaque. Successful implementation requires clear governance, robust data protection, accountability mechanisms, and ongoing stakeholder monitoring.
