Response from the competent authority: Response from the Ministry of Public Administration:From
  the point of view of the work area of better legislation and the elimination of
  administrative barriers, we share your view on the excessive amount of adopted or
  existing legislation in the Republic of Slovenia. While we agree that individual
  initiatives are certainly not sufficient to improve regulations in a systemic way,
  we believe that the initiatives submitted through the STOPBureaucracy website are
  very welcome and help to prevent the creation of new administrative burdens or reduce
  existing ones. The Ministry of Public Administration carries out a review of the
  existing legislative and administrative burdens as well as a review of the prevention
  of new burdens during the drafting phase of the regulations, including the citizens'
  initiatives submitted via the portal.The Ministry of Public Administration is aware
  of the need to pay more attention to adopting better regulations in the framework
  of the adoption of regulations, and therefore we are carrying out certain activities,
  e.g. to consistently implement the impact assessment in order to ensure legality,
  legal certainty, transparency, predictability, responsiveness, and user-orientation.
  In the coming years, we will therefore focus on the preparation of so-called e-regulations,
  the main objective of which is to improve the drafting of regulations by incorporating
  electronic modules, impact assessments (including or prioritising the assessment
  of the impact of regulations on micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)).
  In this context, we plan to ensure that additional controls are put in place to
  ensure that only those draft regulations that comply with the provisions of the
  Resolution on normative activity are adopted for consideration by the Government.
  In 2015 and 2016, we will therefore focus on the introduction of an impact assessment
  on micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) through the so-called SME test,
  in cooperation with other ministries, and will further develop and introduce other
  assessments in all areas.We would also like to underline that the European Commission
  is also continuing its efforts to reduce regulatory burdens across the board at
  EU and national level and is working on a Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme
  (REFIT) aimed at eliminating unnecessary regulatory costs (i.e. the cost of regulation).
  The Ministry of Public Administration, also in terms of representing the Better
  Regulation and Removal of Administrative Burdens work area in the framework of inter-ministerial
  cooperation in the drafting of regulations, constantly draws attention to the fact
  that, when drafting regulations, ministries must avoid complex legislation and the
  widespread gold plating of requirements that are stricter than intended, as a result
  of incorrect implementation of individual European directives. We will continue
  to pay due attention to this area and to cooperation with line ministries.
