BETTER REGULATION POLICY – implementing acts
2009• Resolution (of the Government and National Assembly)
on Legislative Regulation

Government • Amendments to the Guidelines of the Secretary General
of the Government• Handbook for Conducting Impact Assessment• IT support for regulation processes and “e-Democracy “
sub-portal
REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIAMINISTRY OF INTERIOR

CONDUCTING REGULATORY IMPACT ASSESSMENT - RIA
KEY ISSUES:• It is to be done by the ministries• Process is a part of “normal” legislative
procedure• RIA is used for all regulative acts (taking into
account the principle of proportionality); exemptions are “emergency cases” – compulsory revision after max 2 years
• Supervision is conducted in the process of inter-ministerial consultation
REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIAMINISTRY OF INTERIOR
9
RIA– CURRENT ACTIVITIES
• Systematic preparation and implementation of better regulation tools and methodologiespilot projects – impact assessments on the economy
(including SME test) – prevention of unnecessary burdens
introducing ex-post assessments (evaluations) of stock legislation in order to ensure tangible effects (example: checking the effectiveness of amended legislation in the field of occupational health and safety)
REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIAMINISTRY OF INTERIOR

PUBLIC CONSULTATION – specific provisions

The Eugo Slovenia
•The Eugo Slovenia is a national business point that helps foreign business entities from the EU, EEA Member Countries and the Swiss Confederation who want to do business in Slovenia.
•The site provides information about the conditions and procedures required for performing a certain activity or profession in the Republic of Slovenia.
REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIAMINISTRY OF INTERIOR
The background
•The fundamental document that presents the background to Eugo Slovenia is the requirement of the European Directive on Services or the Directive 2006/123/EC on services in the internal market, i.e. that each EEA Member Country must establish its own website or point of single contact which guarantees providers of services with access information on the requirements of national legislation in one place.
•The content of the PSC is also closely connected with the implementation of the Directive on Professions of the Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and Council on the recognition of professional qualifications, and therefore, with the Act Regulating the Qualification Recognition Procedure for Access of Citizens of EU, EEA Member States and the Swiss Confederation to Regulated Professions and Professional Activities in the Republic of Slovenia (OG RS no. 21/02, 92/07 and 85/09) and with the Act on Services in the Internal Market (OG RS no. 21/2010).
