The Survey is a central governmental body with separate functions and competence acting jointly with Governmental Offices of Baranya, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, Pest and Veszprém counties (with the Division for Mining as well as the Mining Departments of Divisions for Authority Affairs) in performing all state activities related to mining and geology. The Survey is supervised by the minister of National Development responsible for mining affairs. The newly established organisation will be a modern, client-oriented survey relying on the well established traditions on mining administration and geological – geophysical surveys, as well as possessing all knowledge and skills in order to meet the needs of the 21st century. The Survey is about to ensure balance, competitiveness and sustainability in its special field, foster the security of supply as well as manage natural resources in accordance with the state interests and needs of the society.
