Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of Labour, Family,
  Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:With regard to the proposals, we would like
  to clarify that amendments and additions to the LFSA are foreseen, which include
  some necessary minor and major changes. Next year, however, an even broader intervention
  in the UFHR is foreseen, and we have drawn the attention of the competent authorities
  to the proposals as regards the content which does not fall within the scope of
  the UFHR. As regards the specific proposals, we would like to clarify that the arrangements
  for subsidising snacks and lunches as laid down for the transitional period in the
  School Food Act-1 are more appropriate and more favourable for pupils and students,
  and therefore the provisions of the School Food Act are being amended to recast
  the eligibility for subsidisation of snacks and lunches and to reproduce the transitional
  arrangements in the School Food Act, At the same time, this will significantly simplify
  the procedure for claiming this entitlement, as pupils will no longer have to apply
  for the entitlement to the snack and lunch subsidy, but will instead claim this
  entitlement through entitlement to child benefit or a state grant when registering
  for a meal, and the school will reduce the snack or lunch bill accordingly. In other
  cases, the application for a snack subsidy will still be made. No changes are foreseen
  in the case of the kindergarten fee reduction, which would allow kindergartens to
  already enter the system or parents to claim the right to a kindergarten fee reduction.
  In future, the system will be regulated in such a way that the social work centres
  will calculate the percentage of income per family member on the basis of which
  the kindergartens will then issue a payment slip and thus decide on the entitlement
  already at the time of enrolment and when the parent declares that he/she is claiming
  the right to a reduction in the kindergarten fee. The amendments also stipulate,
  inter alia, that persons are enrolled in and deregistered from compulsory health
  insurance by the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia under Article 15, paragraph
  1, point 21 of the Health Care and Health Insurance Act (Official Gazette of the
  Republic of Slovenia, No. 72/06 - officially consolidated text, 114/06 ZUTPG, 91/07,
  76/08, 62/10-ZUPJS, 87/11, 40/12-ZUJF and 21/13-ZUTD-A) on the basis of a decision
  on the recognition of the right to payment of a contribution for compulsory health
  insurance, and the contribution for compulsory health insurance shall be paid by
  the municipality of permanent residence of the person referred to in the first or
  second paragraph of this Article.
