fór registering auch federations vould be the same as fór aasociatione. And finally, there already exist, and tbere vili be alsó in future, aseociation federatione (tbe Hungárián Chamber of Commerce, fór example) vested vith povera by atatute; vithin tbe scope of tbe interest-representing activity of 8ucb federatione, tbe competent State organe vould be obliged to eit dovn and negotiate vitb tbem.- Tbe fact that tbere are aasociatione vitb public-lav status cannot limit pluraliem in the repreeentation of intereets. Joining a federation cannot be a condition fór founding an association, and tbe gaining of public-lav status cannot be a condition fór forming a federation. It ie deeirable that tbe existing intereet-representing organizations vitb public-lav status (the TÓT [National Council of Agricultural Cooperatives], KIOSZ [National Organixation of Artisans], KISOSZ [National Free Organitation of Retailers], etc.) be transformed intő umbrella organizations. It is essential tbat the interest-representing organizations vitb public-lav status sbed tbeir official cbaracteristics. Tbe remnants of tbe individual's compulsory membership in organizations (fór example, an artisan must be a member of tbe KISOSZ; if he is expelled from the organization, he loses his artisan's license) must be abolished. A vorkable system fór tbe reconciliation of divergent intereets must be developed.- It ie desirable that there be a variety of interest-representing associations. We need, among others, an organization fór the disabled and tbe partially incapacitated; one fór casual vorkers; one fór unskilled vömén; one fór youths seeking alternate life-styles; one to protect the equality of citizens vho are believers; several fór small businessmen; one fór environmental protection, etc.- The associations must be free to jóin or nőt to jóin interest-representing federations that have public-lav status. It is intolerable, fór example, tbat it is the task of tbe KIOSZ to represent the interests of business partnersbips, vbereas it had vebemently opposed their formát ion. Contract managers of Stores fali vitbin tbe scope of interests represented by tbe KISOSZ, despite the fact that tbey, as enterprise employees, are trade-union members. The small cooperatives likevise stick out like a soré tbumb from tbe organization of the OKISZ [National Federation of Industrial Co-ops] yet today tvo-thirds of the industrial cooperatives are small cooperatives.- The scope of authority of the interest-representing organizations vith public-lav status vili have to be vorked out. Attached to tbe appropriate administrative agencies, it vili be necessary to establish reconciliation forum8 vhere the mandatory consultations can take piacé—in due time, before tbe decisions are made—betveen the administration and tbe interest- representing organizations concerned. It vili be necessary to define vhich interest-representing organization vitb public-lav status, and in vhat matters, has vető pover over administrative decisions. And tbe matters vili have to be specified in vhicb agreements betveen interest-representing organizations vith public-lav status become enforceable regulátions. 4 <10
