proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Justice and Public Administration\nWith regard\
  \ to the proposal submitted with the above-mentioned letter concerning the abolition\
  \ of the Council of State, we would like to clarify that this proposal does not\
  \ fall within the remit of the Ministry of Justice and Public Administration.\n\
  Given that the Council of State is regulated in the Constitution of the Republic\
  \ of Slovenia and that this proposal concerns the legislative branch of government,\
  \ we suggest that you forward it to the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia.\n\
  Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Spatial Planning\nThe method of\
  \ setting and the amount of the annual levy for the use of vehicles in road transport\
  \ are laid down in the Regulation on the method of setting and the amount of the\
  \ annual levy for the use of vehicles in road transport (Official Journal of the\
  \ Republic of Slovenia, No 80/12). The Regulation is issued on the basis of the\
  \ Act on the annual charge for the use of vehicles in road transport (Official Journal\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia No 57/08), which also lays down the criteria for determining\
  \ the amount of the annual charge, which, in the case of passenger cars, is the\
  \ engine capacity of the vehicle, whereby the Act provides that, when determining\
  \ the amount of the annual charge for individual categories or sub-categories, the\
  \ criteria to be taken into account are the air pollutant emissions and the type\
  \ of suspension of the vehicles.\nIn the case of passenger cars, the individual\
  \ amounts of the annual levy are set in such a way that they increase progressively\
  \ as the engine capacity increases, and the total amount of the annual levy collected\
  \ in each year follows the objectives of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia,\
  \ as it is a direct revenue of the budget of the Republic of Slovenia. Since it\
  \ is not possible to establish a discount for one class of passenger cars under\
  \ the law, it would theoretically only be possible to reduce the amount of the annual\
  \ levy for a certain category or class of vehicles, which, in view of the requirement\
  \ of budget neutrality of the draft regulation, would mean an increase in the annual\
  \ levy for the other categories or classes of vehicles. Changes to European Union\
  \ vehicle regulations will make it necessary to amend certain parts of the annual\
  \ levy in the future, and we will consider your proposal, or the social aspect of\
  \ your proposal, when making these amendments.\nIn addition, our ministry is working\
  \ fast on integrated public passenger transport, which will enable most citizens\
  \ to have better mobility without having to use private transport.\n "
