Response from the competent authority: The Law on Dual Marking of Prices in Tolars
  and Euros (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No 101/05) was drafted
  and adopted in preparation for the introduction of the euro in the Republic of Slovenia.
  Its purpose was to facilitate an orderly transition to the changeover of the monetary
  unit, to prepare consumers for the valuation of prices of goods and services in
  euro and to prevent inflation from rising as a result of the introduction of the
  euro through price comparability.Dual price marking (in tolars and euros) was compulsory
  from 1 March 2006 to 1 July 2007. During the entire period of dual price marking,
  prices for goods and services had to be marked in both currencies and published
  in such a way that consumers could easily and unambiguously read them and compare
  them.The law was adopted on 1 March 2007. Consumers were thus legally guaranteed
  16 months (10 months before and 6 months after the introduction of the euro) of
  mandatory dual labelling to allow them to form a sense of valuation of prices in
  euro.We agree that there is no longer a need for dual labelling (as almost 10 years
  have passed since the introduction of the euro and the calculations are no longer
  relevant for consumers). If an explicit provision for the repeal of the law is necessary
  (which we will consider further), we will propose that the preparation and adoption
  of a law on the termination of the law on the double marking of prices in tolars
  and euros be included in the normative work programme of the Government of the Republic
  of Slovenia for 2016.
