Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of the Interior:We\
  \ would like to clarify that, despite your observations, the issue of uniform permits\
  \ has brought about a uniform procedure for obtaining residence and work permits,\
  \ but the legislator did not intend to simplify the employment of foreigners. The\
  \ single procedure means that the alien himself or his employer applies for a work\
  \ permit and a residence permit in one application, and the issue of the single\
  \ permit is decided by two authorities, namely the Employment Service in the part\
  \ relating to the employment or work of the alien and the administrative unit in\
  \ the part relating to residence.\r\nWith regard to your proposal to use web-based\
  \ applications, we would like to clarify that the competent ministries and the institute\
  \ have already provided adequate information support and information flow prior\
  \ to the entry into force of the legal provisions on the single permit, and that\
  \ the transfer of documents is carried out using the relevant information technology.\
  \ However, we would like to point out that the introduction of the single permit\
  \ and the information support provided for decision-making have not changed the\
  \ decision-making process of the competent authorities. In the procedure for issuing\
  \ the single permit, it is still necessary to establish whether the alien fulfils\
  \ all the conditions laid down in the Aliens Act for the issue of a residence permit,\
  \ while at the same time both the alien and his/her employer must fulfil all the\
  \ conditions for the employment or work of the alien laid down in the Act on Employment,\
  \ Self-employment and Work of Aliens. Only after the administrative unit has received\
  \ the decision of the institute may it decide whether or not to issue a single permit,\
  \ before which both the institute and the administrative unit, each in its own part,\
  \ decide on the substance at the same time. However, due to the large number of\
  \ applications and sometimes even more complex cases, it is not always possible\
  \ to take a decision within the time limit prescribed by law.Reply from the Ministry\
  \ of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:With regard to the initiative\
  \ to simplify the use of work applications and web portals, which would enable the\
  \ staff of the Employment Service and the Administrative Units to issue single permits\
  \ or work permits in a timely manner (within the prescribed time limits) and in\
  \ a smooth manner, we believe that at the present time, the Ministry of Labour and\
  \ Social Affairs does not see any need for a change in the functioning of work applications\
  \ or web portals. In fact, the electronic links to the relevant stakeholders from\
  \ whom the ZRSZ obtains data in the procedures for issuing single permits were established\
  \ in 2015 and in our opinion they work well. In this context, it is necessary to\
  \ highlight the fact that, according to the data of the Ministry of the Interior\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia, single permits were issued in an average of 27 days\
  \ and served in an average of 39 days (in the period from November 2015 to May 2016).\r\
  \nNotwithstanding the above, we are aware that in some cases there are also longer\
  \ timeframes for issuing permits or consents, but we assess that the delays are\
  \ more due to understaffing of the services responsible for managing procedures\
  \ in the field of employment, self-employment and work of foreigners than to poor\
  \ technical solutions."
