response: "Response by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities\n\
  The migration policy of the Republic of Slovenia provides in principle for a rule\
  \ that allows new recruitment of third-country nationals provided that this is based\
  \ on the needs of individual Slovenian employers from time to time. The Act on Employment\
  \ and Labour of Foreigners (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No. 26/2011\
  \ of 8 April 2011) provides that a work permit for new employment shall not be issued\
  \ if there are in the records of the Employment Office of the Republic of Slovenia\
  \ corresponding domestic unemployed persons or persons who are equal to citizens\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia in terms of employment rights. The Minister responsible\
  \ for labour may also determine cases where the employment of a foreigner is not\
  \ linked to the labour market due to the nature of the work and a work permit may\
  \ be issued without a labour market check.\nIn view of the above, we argue that\
  \ the ban on the employment of foreigners will not contribute to increased employment\
  \ of Slovenian citizens or to a greater reduction in domestic unemployment. We would\
  \ also like to point out that foreigners employed in the Republic of Slovenia are\
  \ fully on an equal footing with Slovenian citizens in terms of rights and obligations\
  \ under the employment relationship. This also applies to the payment of wages for\
  \ work performed. Slovenian employers are obliged to pay all employees, regardless\
  \ of their nationality, at least the legal minimum wage.\nAccordingly, the Ministry\
  \ of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities considers that the proposal\
  \ is not suitable for further consideration.\n "
