response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Spatial Planning\nThe\
  \ Regulation on road transport equipment (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia\
  \ No 17/00, 33/00 - corrected, 45/04, 82/07, 70/08 and 104/09) sets limits for individual\
  \ pollutants in vehicle exhaust gases, which are taken into account when a vehicle\
  \ is registered for the first time in our country. For passenger cars (category\
  \ M1), for example, this limit is set by Council Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended\
  \ by Directive 94/12/EC of the Parliament and of the Council, which indirectly implies\
  \ emission requirements with EURO 2 level.\nAccording to Article 24 of the Motor\
  \ Vehicles Act (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia, No 106/10), the conformity\
  \ of a vehicle with these requirements is not verified for:\n\"1. international\
  \ and intergovernmental organisations - for official use;\ndiplomatic and consular\
  \ missions of foreign countries in the Republic of Slovenia - for official use;\n\
  diplomatic and consular staff of foreign missions in the Republic of Slovenia and\
  \ their immediate family members - for personal use;\ncitizens of the Republic of\
  \ Slovenia returning permanently from temporary work or residence abroad, if they\
  \ have been abroad without interruption for at least one year;\nforeigners who have\
  \ been granted a temporary or permanent residence permit in the Republic of Slovenia;\n\
  natural and legal persons who have become owners of a vehicle by virtue of a decision\
  \ on inheritance; and\nhumanitarian organisations - for the performance of their\
  \ humanitarian activities.\"\nIn the same way, pursuant to Article 25(1) of the\
  \ Law on Motor Vehicles, the conformity of a vehicle with these requirements shall\
  \ not be verified for vintage vehicles as defined in Article 25(2):\n\"(2) A vintage\
  \ vehicle is a vehicle which was manufactured 30 or more years ago, which has been\
  \ preserved and technically maintained in such a way that it conforms to its original\
  \ construction and design and which, because of its historical and technical importance,\
  \ is not used for everyday transport.\"\nThe Motor Vehicles Act repealed this Regulation\
  \ on 1 April 2011, but it continues to apply until a new regulation on the subject\
  \ is drawn up. A new proposal for a Regulation on parts and equipment of vehicles\
  \ has already been drafted and no longer contains any emission requirements for\
  \ the first registration of a vehicle in our country for vehicles coming into our\
  \ country from the European Union.\n "
