response: "Response by the Government Office for Development and European Affairs\n\
  The Government of the Republic of Slovenia supports this initiative, and a number\
  \ of measures are currently being prepared to contribute to reducing emissions from\
  \ transport and, indirectly, to increasing the use of electric vehicles in the public\
  \ sector.\nFirst of all, we should mention the preparation of the Regulation on\
  \ Green Public Procurement, which will oblige central and local authorities to include\
  \ environmental criteria in public procurement procedures for certain groups of\
  \ goods and services. This will include vehicles. The criteria for the selection\
  \ of vehicles to be followed by the obliged entities will be in line with the methodology\
  \ prescribed by Directive 2009/33/EC on the promotion of the use of clean and energy\
  \ efficient vehicles. The so-called external costs of using different vehicles will\
  \ also be evaluated in the public procurement process on the basis of this methodology.\
  \ It is the application of this methodology that is expected to make cars that have\
  \ a lower negative environmental impact (which certainly includes electric vehicles)\
  \ more competitive and proportionally more attractive to buy.\nIn this context,\
  \ the Climate Change Service of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has also\
  \ submitted for government procedure an Information on trends in the uptake of battery\
  \ electric vehicles with a proposal for a measure to provide infrastructure, a system\
  \ environment and the establishment of a demonstration project, which also proposes\
  \ certain conclusions that would help to establish the infrastructure and system\
  \ environment for the entry of battery electric vehicles on the Slovenian market.\n\
  At its 92nd Ordinary Session on 22 July 2010, the Government adopted the Recommendations\
  \ for Environmentally Efficient State Administration Measures, supporting all activities\
  \ of state bodies that contribute to reducing their negative impact on the environment\
  \ through planned and well thought-out measures and, consequently, to reducing the\
  \ costs of their operations. Among the recommendations, there is also a section\
  \ on reducing emissions from sweeping, which includes, inter alia, the purchase\
  \ of vehicles with lower CO2 emissions, the use of alternative forms of propulsion,\
  \ etc.\n \nResponse from the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning\n\
  The Republic of Slovenia has a major problem with CO2 emissions from transport,\
  \ which account for 30% of the country's total CO2 emissions.  The idea of introducing\
  \ electric cars in public institutions and 100% state-owned companies is therefore\
  \ a good one. We agree that such vehicles can contribute to a cleaner environment\
  \ and help reduce CO2 emissions.\nThe RS is gradually introducing green public procurement,\
  \ which will also regulate the area of cars and the criteria to be followed when\
  \ purchasing cars, buses and trucks in the public administration.  \n \nResponse\
  \ from the Government Climate Change Office\nThe Government Climate Change Office\
  \ has prepared for the Government \"Information on trends in the uptake of battery\
  \ electric vehicles with a proposal for action to provide the infrastructure, the\
  \ system environment and the establishment of a demonstration project\".\nThis material\
  \ will propose actions to create a system that will promote the development of electric\
  \ vehicles in Slovenia. The system will also include activities to be placed in\
  \ companies owned by state institutions and in 100% state-owned companies.\nThe\
  \ inter-ministerial coordination of the material \"Information on trends in the\
  \ uptake of battery electric vehicles with a proposal for a measure to provide infrastructure,\
  \ system environment and the establishment of a demonstration project\" for the\
  \ Government of the Republic of Slovenia has already been completed. The document\
  \ will be forwarded to the Committees and the Government for consideration by 20.8.2010."
