response: 'Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure

  Article 34 of the Law on Motor Vehicles (ZMV-1) (Official Gazette of the Republic
  of Slovenia, No 75/17) provides that number plates issued to identify a vehicle
  are attached to the vehicle. This method of attachment of number plates is supported
  by the MRVL system, which supports the operation of the register of registered vehicles
  and from which data on vehicles, their owners and users are obtained by various
  entities having the appropriate legal basis. That system also allows for various
  data processing operations, which are set up in such a way that the number plates
  are linked to the vehicle.

  While the so-called ''serial'' number plates are linked to the vehicle, the number
  plates with the selected part of the mark are linked to the person who has reserved
  the number plate. As a consequence, the attachment of the number plate with the
  selected part of the plate is controlled differently in the MRVL system (control
  of the period for the confirmation of the reservation, control of the payment of
  the reservation, control of the period from the reservation to the order of the
  number plate, transfer of the reservation or of the number plate with the selected
  part of the plate, etc.).

  The Ministry of Infrastructure does not support the proposal to have one number
  plate for two vehicles. This is essentially a transferable number plate system,
  which means that the owner of two or more vehicles would only have one set of number
  plates, which would then be transferred from one vehicle to another. To our knowledge,
  only Austria and Switzerland have such a system, and then only for vintage vehicles,
  but it was put in place many years ago. However, according to the information from
  the drafters of the legislation in these countries, they themselves are not satisfied
  with this arrangement, as it brings a great many problems.

  If such an arrangement were to be introduced in the Republic of Slovenia, it would
  mean, in addition to a change in the legislation, a very large amount of financial
  resources and time to change the operation of the system supporting the register
  of registered vehicles and of the systems that extract data from this register (national
  and international), changes in the way the levy for the use of vehicles on the road
  is determined, changes in the way vehicle insurance is calculated and the amount
  of insurance, and certainly a very difficult task in controlling vehicles on the
  road, in investigating the causes of, and those involved in, road accidents and
  in investigating crimes involving vehicles.

  As already indicated, the Ministry of Infrastructure does not intend to introduce
  a transferable number plate system.'
