proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nThe conditions for the registration\
  \ of vehicles are laid down in Article 31 of the Law on Motor Vehicles (Official\
  \ Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No 106/10). This Article lists the following\
  \ evidence as a condition if it is not available to the registration organisation\
  \ on the basis of official records:\n Proof of the origin and ownership of the vehicle\
  \ or of the individual parts of the vehicle which have been retrofitted (e.g. Proof\
  \ of the vehicle's registration; proof of the vehicle's registration, including\
  \ the parts fitted to the vehicle (e.g. chassis, engine); proof of the vehicle's\
  \ certificate of conformity or consent to registration, if it is a vehicle for which\
  \ such a certificate or consent is required under this Law; proof of motor third\
  \ party liability insurance, and in the case of public passenger transport vehicles,\
  \ proof of passenger insurance; proof of payment of the annual road vehicle use\
  \ tax; and proof of the vehicle's roadworthiness, with the exception of vehicles\
  \ which are not required to undergo a roadworthiness test pursuant to Article 50\
  \ of the Act. The proof of roadworthiness of the vehicle shall be valid if the roadworthiness\
  \ test was carried out not more than 30 days previously.\nTherefore, there is no\
  \ legal basis for prohibiting the registration of a vehicle or the extension of\
  \ the validity of a traffic licence (the conditions are laid down in Article 33\
  \ of the abovementioned Law) if the owner of the vehicle has not paid fines for\
  \ road traffic offences.\nThe offence authorities dealing with road traffic offences\
  \ under the Road Traffic Rules Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia,\
  \ No 109/10, 57/12 and 63/13) in our country are the Police and the municipal police\
  \ forces. Therefore, if it is desired to regulate the requirement set out in the\
  \ proposal, in our opinion it would probably be necessary:\n to create a central\
  \ register of traffic offence proceedings, linking the work of the police, the municipal\
  \ police and the courts, to prepare the appropriate legal basis for such action\
  \ (amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act, the Offences Act, the General Administrative\
  \ Procedure Act, etc.) and to link the register referred to in point 1 with the\
  \ register of registered vehicles (MRVL), which provides support to registration\
  \ organisations for vehicle-related proceedings.  \nGiven that neither the above-mentioned\
  \ offence authorities, nor the courts, nor the Ministry of Justice have requested\
  \ such an amendment to the Motor Vehicles Act, or informed us of any problems with\
  \ the collection of fines from road traffic offences, the Ministry of Infrastructure\
  \ does not intend to proceed with this proposal until such a request or notification\
  \ of problems has been received."
