response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nThe Republic of Slovenia\
  \ cannot prohibit the acquisition of diesel motor vehicles from other Member States\
  \ of the European Union with an emission level below EURO 5.\nThe Republic of Slovenia,\
  \ as a full Member State of the European Union, cannot and must not infringe the\
  \ first of the four fundamental principles applicable in the European Union, namely\
  \ the right to free movement of goods originating in the Member States and of goods\
  \ coming from third countries and circulating freely in the Member States (Article\
  \ 28 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).\nThe Common Market,\
  \ established by the Treaty of Rome in 1958, was intended to eliminate trade barriers\
  \ between Member States, thereby increasing economic prosperity and contributing\
  \ to the creation of \"an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe\". In particular,\
  \ the principles of mutual recognition, the elimination of physical and technical\
  \ barriers and the promotion of standardisation further support the completion of\
  \ the internal market.\nIf the Republic of Slovenia were to prohibit by regulation\
  \ the acquisition of diesel motor vehicles from other Member States of the European\
  \ Union with an emission level below EURO 5, it would be in breach of the principle\
  \ of the free movement of goods, and neither the Republic of Slovenia nor any other\
  \ Member State of the European Union may do so.  \n "
