BUDAPEST, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Hungary's government will decide on whether to extend price margin restrictions on food and drugstore products soon, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff said on Thursday, adding there were more arguments for the extension of the measures.
Orban's government has extended its price controls until the end of February as part of efforts to curb inflation, ahead of elections due on April 12.
In December, the European Commission called on Hungary to scrap a limit set on retail price margins on food products and drugstore articles levied on non-Hungarian retailers, or risk legal action.
