Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of Finance:Accounting\
  \ aspect:\r\nIn accordance with Article 3 of the Accounting Act, Official Journal\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia No 23/99, 30/02 and 114/06, legal persons are responsible\
  \ for the preparation of accounting documents. The same Article stipulates that\
  \ the authorised person of a legal person or the person to whom the authorisation\
  \ has been delegated guarantees by signing the document that the accounting document\
  \ is true and presents fairly the information on the underlying transactions.\r\n\
  Furthermore, Article 4 of the same Law provides that legal persons shall regulate\
  \ in more detail, by means of rules, the manner in which accounting documents are\
  \ to be drawn up, the types of accounting documents, the responsibility for the\
  \ drawing up, movement and control of accounting documents, and their safekeeping,\
  \ in accordance with this Law and the Accounting Standards.Financial aspect:\r\n\
  The method of commitment is defined in more detail in the current Rules on Procedures\
  \ for the Implementation of the Budget of the Republic of Slovenia (Official Journal\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia, No 50/07 et seq.), where Chapter 8.1 Methods of commitment\
  \ (Article 141) provides for the written form of a contract, the signature of another\
  \ instrument or the issue of individual legal acts. Chapter 8.2.3 Contracts (Article\
  \ 154) provides for the transmission of original contracts to the Accounting Service,\
  \ while also allowing for the computerised form and the electronic signature of\
  \ the contract.Exchange of documents:\r\nThe way in which contracts are drawn up\
  \ and exchanged electronically would therefore depend on the decision of the individual\
  \ budget user or on the agreement between the parties to the contracts. The exchange\
  \ of such documents could take place via the official e-mail addresses of the parties\
  \ to each contract, unless otherwise agreed.\r\nOn the basis of the above, from\
  \ a financial and accounting point of view, there are no obstacles to the acceptance\
  \ and processing of electronically signed contracts.\r\n "
