Response from the competent authority: 'Response from the Ministry of Economic Development
  and TechnologyWe would like to start by clarifying that the public publication of
  companies'' annual reports is dictated by the European legal order. Public publication
  pursues principles such as the security of legal transactions and the protection
  of shareholders, creditors and third parties.The Agency of the Republic of Slovenia
  for Public Legal Records and Services (hereinafter: AJPES) charges fees for the
  public publication of annual reports in accordance with the Tariff of Fees for Services
  Provided by the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Public Legal Records and
  Services under Article 58 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
  (hereinafter: AJPES). The Tariff pursuant to Article 58(11) of the Companies Act
  (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 65/09 - Official consolidated
  text, 33/11, 91/11, 32/12, 57/12, 44/13 - odi. The fees may not exceed the actual
  costs associated with the capture of reports in computerised form and the maintenance
  of websites dedicated to the public publication of annual reports or the costs associated
  with the production of copies of reports.Article 4 of the Tariff also provides for
  an exemption from the obligation to pay a fee for the public publication of an annual
  report for partnerships and sole proprietorships. For companies established in the
  last financial year, which have not yet started trading and which do not disclose
  any information in the annual report submitted. Instead of submitting an annual
  report without any data, they may submit to AJPES a declaration that they have not
  yet commenced business operations.As regards legal entities that do not have an
  open transaction account, we would like to draw your attention to the obligation
  imposed on entities entered in the Commercial Register by the Tax Procedure Act
  (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 13/11 - Official consolidated
  text, 32/12, 94/12, 101/13 - ZDavNepr, 111/13, 25/14 - ZFU, 40/14 - ZIN-B, 90/14
  and 91/15, hereinafter referred to as ZDavP-2), which is the responsibility of the
  Ministry of Finance. For example, Article 37 of the Tax Act provides for the obligation
  to open a transaction account with a payment service provider. Non-compliance with
  the provision is punishable by a fine as set out in Article 397 of the ITA-2.'
