response: 'Response from the Ministry of Transport

  Your initiatives on the recording of kilometres on road vehicle odometers and on
  penalising the tampering of odometers have been taken into account and are already
  included in the proposal for new legislation on road vehicles.

  The idea of recording odometer data on road vehicles has been around for a long
  time and was also raised in the group for the preparation of the Motor Vehicles
  Act and its by-laws. It was recognised that this data is important both for the
  safety of vehicles and thus of all road users, as well as for the various analyses
  needed by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia for its work, not least
  for checking the use of vehicles with vintage vehicle status. The requirement to
  record the meter reading at each vehicle roadworthiness test is already laid down
  in Article 15(2) of the draft Regulation on roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles
  and trailers.

  Sanctions for tampering with the meter are also already regulated in the draft Motor
  Vehicles Act. Article 19(1) specifies what is covered by vehicle modifications,
  which include interventions that affect or could affect the safety of the vehicle.
  Paragraph 4 of this Article states that it is prohibited to carry out modifications
  and alterations to a vehicle which impair its safety or environmental characteristics.
  The penalty for this is set out in the sixth paragraph of this Article, which reads
  as follows: "A legal person, an individual entrepreneur or an individual engaged
  in an activity on his own account who acts in contravention of the fourth paragraph
  of this Article shall be liable to a fine of not less than EUR 4 000 and the person
  responsible for such acts shall be liable to a fine of not less than EUR 400. An
  individual acting in contravention of the fourth paragraph of this Article shall
  be liable to a fine of not less than EUR 400.".

  On the basis of the foregoing, we consider that both of your petitions have been
  taken into account.'
