response: "Response from the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning\nLight\
  \ pollution is regulated by the Regulation on the limit values for light pollution\
  \ of the environment (Regulation, Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia,\
  \ No 81/2007, 109/07), which provides for the protection of nature from the harmful\
  \ effects of light pollution, the protection of living spaces from disturbing illumination\
  \ caused by the lighting of uncovered surfaces, the protection of people from glare,\
  \ the protection of astronomical observations from the glare of the sky, and the\
  \ reduction of the electricity consumption of light sources that cause light pollution:\n\
  \ annual electricity consumption targets for luminaires installed in the lighting\
  \ of roads and other non-covered public areas, limits on the electrical input power\
  \ of luminaires for the lighting of non-covered areas where industrial, commercial\
  \ and other activities are carried out, limits on the electrical input power of\
  \ luminaires for the lighting of fa\xE7ades, cultural monuments and advertising\
  \ facilities, limits on the illuminance of the surfaces of cultural monuments, the\
  \ conditions for directional illumination of cultural monuments, the limit values\
  \ for the illuminance produced by luminaires for the illumination of uncovered surfaces\
  \ in the protected areas of buildings, the method of establishing compliance with\
  \ the requirements of the Regulation, the prohibition on use where light is emitted\
  \ in the form of light beams towards the sky or on surfaces reflecting light towards\
  \ the sky, measures to reduce the emission of light into the environment and the\
  \ obligations on the parties responsible for ensuring the operational monitoring\
  \ of light pollution. \n A number of regulations are in force on the protection\
  \ against environmental noise. These include:\n1. the Regulation on the assessment\
  \ and regulation of environmental noise (Official Journal of the RS, No 105/05,\
  \ 34/08 ), which lays down measures to reduce environmental noise pollution,\n2.\
  \ the Regulation on limit values for environmental noise indicators (Official Journal\
  \ of the RS, No 121/04 ), which lays down the following measures to protect the\
  \ natural and living environment from noise:\n the rates of reduction of environmental\
  \ noise pollution, the limit values of environmental noise indicators, the critical\
  \ values of environmental noise indicators, the provisional methods for the assessment\
  \ of environmental noise indicators, the adjustments to be taken into account for\
  \ the calculation of the values of environmental noise indicators when applying\
  \ the provisional methods for the assessment of environmental noise indicators,\
  \ the measures for the reduction of noise emissions into the environment, the obliged\
  \ persons for the provision of operational noise monitoring for noise sources.\n\
  Existing legislation on both light pollution and noise regulates limit values and\
  \ measures to reduce environmental impacts and already contains proposals which\
  \ you have forwarded to the Government of the Republic of Slovenia."
