Lszl Kovcs - This article is about the diplomat. For the cinematographer see Lszl Kovcs (cinematographer).
Lszl Kovcs (born 1939) is a Hungarian diplomat. He was the foreign minister of Hungary twice, from 1994 to 1998 and from 2002 until November 1, 2004. He is also a former chairman of the Hungarian Socialist Party, from 1998 to 2004. In 2004, Kovcs was nominated to serve as Hungary's representative on the European Commission, which was to take office on November 1, 2004. His apparent unsuitability for his proposed role as Energy Commissioner was one of the reasons why the European Parliament rejected to endorse the proposed new Commission. However, the Hungarian government did not nominate a new commissioner in his place, therefore in the revised setup of the Commission, serving from 22 November 2004 on, he was finally appointed to serve as Commissioner responsible for Taxation and the Customs Union.
