We have been greatly encouraged by the action taken by the Hungarian to stand up to the Banks, and we believe that the reforms passed by the Hungarian National Assembly, particularly the new law of refunds, represent a model for the rest of Europe to follow.
The conference is being organised by the Anglo-Hellenic and Cypriot Law Association which has organised 50 seminars on various topics in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, at the Law Society in London and elsewhere.
The conference will be attended by delegates from all across Europe, as well as large numbers of Cypriots who were missold these loans.
Reform
The organisers believe that encouraging Governments to follow the example of Hungary will lead to an expeditious and just outcome for the victims of these schemes.
