response: 'The Republic of Slovenia is carrying out various activities to at least
  partially shift traffic to rail by implementing various projects in the field of
  modernisation of railway infrastructure. In this way, it is trying to relieve at
  least part of the pressure on the road infrastructure in terms of more freight transported
  by rail. The modernisation of the railway infrastructure is also being carried out
  within the framework of the available financial resources obtained from the EU.


  Transit traffic of freight vehicles cannot be restricted on the basis of EU road
  transport legislation. These rules imply that carriers established in the EU can
  carry out road transport operations within the EU with a Community licence. However,
  on the basis of bilateral agreements concluded with other countries (the permit
  system), the Republic of Slovenia may restrict traffic carried out by carriers whose
  registered office is not in one of the EU Member States. For carriers from these
  countries, traffic is not directly liberalised, but limited quotas of permits are
  agreed with certain countries. In this way, the transit traffic of goods vehicles
  through the Republic of Slovenia can only be partially restricted.


  The above shows that it is not feasible and we therefore do not support it.'
