* Electing the head of the Supreme Court on the proposal of the president
LAWS REQUIRING TWO-THIRDS OF MPS PRESENT IN THE ROOM

* The statutes of parliament (rules of operation)
* Local government law
* Court, media and party financing laws
* Law on citizenship rights

FIDESZ PLANS ANNOUNCED SO FAR
* Boosting Hungary's growth and medium-term growth potential
* Attracting foreign investment but favouring supporting domestic entrepreneurs and farmers
* Improving the economy's competitiveness via tax cuts. Fidesz top economic strategist Gyorgy Matolcsy envisaged tax cuts over the next three years starting from Jan. 2011

Matolcsy told Reuters Fidesz would not tolerate a deficit above 6.5-7 percent and a gap between 4.5 and 6.5 percent could still be 'safely financed'
* Cutting red tape and curbing corruption
* Signing a new precautionary standby deal with international lenders after the current financing deal expires in October
* Not planning to set euro adoption target date, for now
