In a communication received on 5 January 1966, the Government of Hungary, with reference to the third paragraph of article I of the Convention and article 18 of Annex II thereof, notified the Secretary-General of the following: In respect of bills of exchange and promisory notes, no payment may be demanded in Hungary on legal holidays, namely: 1 January (New Year's Day), 4 April (Liberation Day), 1 May (Labour Day), 20 August (Constitution Day), 7 November (Anniversary of the October Socialist Revolution), 25 December (Christmas Day), 26 December (Boxing Day), Easter Monday, and weekly rest days (usually Sundays). Subsequently, on 25 March 1985, the Secretary-General received from the Government of Hungary the following notification: In the circulation of bills of exchange between inlanders the protest may be replaced by a dated statement, written on the bill of exchange itself and signed by the drawee and the third person making the payment/Article 8,/ Annex 2, respectively, unless an authentic protest is required by the drawer in the wording of the bill of exchange. In the case mentioned in the above paragraph it is deemed that an undated negotiation of bill is dated as before the date of the protest. In a further communication received on 21 June 1985, the Government of Hungary provided the following additional comments with respect to the above-mentioned notification: 1/ As regards conformity with Article 8 of Annex II, the wording "signed by the drawee and the third person making the payment, respectively" is intended by the competent Hungarian financial organs to express that the statement of the person to whom the bill of exchange is payable is required. If the bill of exchange is not domiciled with a named person for payment, the drawee's statement is required. In the case of an instrument domiciled with a named person payment, the statement signed by that named person is required. 2/ The wording in regard of bills of exchange domiciled with a named person for payment had to be expanded for two reasons: /a/ As the third person named for payment can be considered as the drawee's "cashier", it is logical to authorize him to make the statement in case of non-payment. /b/ A domiciled bill of exchange is to be presented for payment at maturity at the domicile. If the statement of the third person named for payment could not be accepted in lieu of protest and the statement of the drawee should therefore be obtained, it would often cause practically insurmountable difficulties in reaching the drawee within two and a half business days of frustrated payment. Attention is called in this respect to the fact that the same solution id adopted by Art. 56, para. /3/, of the Draft Convention on International Bills of Exchange and International Promisory Notes /A/CN9/211/prepared by the Working Group on International Negotiable Instruments.
