Budapest, December 1, 1999

Tens of thousands of Hungarian citizens were hit by floods early this summer. MATÁV has offered to cancel the September telephone bills up to a sum of HUF 100 000 for the local authorities affected by this natural catastrophe.

The heavy rains and the subsequent floods and high inland waters dealt a serious blow to tens of thousands of Hungarian citizens. MATÁV, as a responsible corporate citizen, cannot afford to remain a passive onlooker of this critical situation.

It has decided to cancel the September telephone bills of the municipality offices of 131 localities (in Zala, Somogy, Komárom-Esztergom, Fejér, Tolna, Baranya, Bács-Kiskun, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, Hajdú-Bihar, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Heves, Nógrád and Pest counties) up to a maximum amount of HUF 100 000 per authority.
