Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of Finance:\r\nUnder\
  \ the current regime, parents do not have to apply for registration in the tax register\
  \ at the time of the birth of their child, as the registration of a newborn child\
  \ with permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia is carried out\
  \ ex officio by the tax office. The parents receive a certificate of the tax number\
  \ assigned to the child by post.Reply from the Ministry of the Interior:\r\nThe\
  \ Ministry of the Interior explains, within the scope of its competences, that administrative\
  \ relief in the part related to birth registration (i.e. registration of the birth\
  \ in the civil registry) and the assignment of an EM\u0160O to the newborn child\
  \ has been implemented since 2007 within the framework of the e-birth technological\
  \ solution, which has gradually involved 13 Slovenian maternity hospitals, with\
  \ the exception of the Nova Gorica maternity hospital (where, however, activities\
  \ to simplify the registration of births are already underway).Reply from the Health\
  \ Insurance Institute of Slovenia. Slovenia's Health Insurance Institute:\r\nThe\
  \ person obliged to arrange the compulsory health insurance (registration, notification\
  \ of changes during the insurance and cancellation) of a family member is the insurance\
  \ carrier, i.e. the insured person under whom the family member will be (is) insured.\
  \ For this reason, the UE is not competent to regulate the compulsory health insurance\
  \ for newborns instead of the insurance carrier at the ZZZS.Reply from the Ministry\
  \ of Public Administration:\r\nI.\r\nThe procedure conducted by the administrative\
  \ units is already simplified to the maximum extent possible or is customer-friendly\
  \ and non-burdensome. The information on the birth of the newborn and its parents,\
  \ which is the basis for the issue of an extract from the Civil Registry, is already\
  \ entered in the register in maternity hospitals. The first birth certificate is\
  \ provided to the parents by an official of the administrative unit without any\
  \ request and without payment of an administrative fee. The same applies to the\
  \ residence registration procedure. This is carried out by the administrative unit\
  \ as soon as the parents have completed the residence registration form at the maternity\
  \ hospital. A visit to the administrative unit by the parents of the newborn child\
  \ is therefore also not necessary. This means that the presence of an official of\
  \ the administrative unit at the maternity hospital would in no way speed up the\
  \ procedures for the processing of the newborn's identity documents. The procedures\
  \ are carried out quickly, efficiently and without any burden on the parents, regardless\
  \ of the location of the birth. In the Ljubljana maternity hospital referred to\
  \ by the author of the petition, the presence of an official of the Ljubljana Administrative\
  \ Unit (on certain days and at a predetermined time) is based solely on the fact\
  \ that a large number of children are born (1/3 of all children in the Republic\
  \ of Slovenia are born in Ljubljana). The occasional presence of an official of\
  \ the Ljubljana Administrative Unit in a Ljubljana maternity hospital does not constitute\
  \ or lead to discriminatory treatment of parents of children born in other maternity\
  \ hospitals.\r\nII.\r\nThe tax number of a newborn child with permanent or temporary\
  \ residence in Slovenia is entered into the Tax Register by the competent authorities\
  \ of the FURS ex officio and without the parents' request. The tax number of the\
  \ newborn child is sent to the parents by post, at the latest one month after the\
  \ birth of the child.\r\nIII.\r\nThe parents must arrange their own health insurance\
  \ for the child within 60 days of the child's birth. The application must be forwarded\
  \ to the competent regional unit or branch of the Health Insurance Institute of\
  \ Slovenia (ZZZS). Until 60 days after the child's birth, if the child has not yet\
  \ been covered by health insurance, the child may benefit from the health insurance\
  \ of one of the parents or guardians.\r\n "
