business / economy

The benefits of good legislationThe benefits of good legislation

BETTER REGULATION
POLICY – implementing acts
2009
• Resolution (of the Government and National Assembly)
on Legislative Regulation
2010
• Amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the
Government
• Amendments to the Guidelines of the Secretary General
of the Government
• Handbook for Conducting Impact Assessment
• IT support for regulation processes and “e-Democracy “
sub-portal

8
CONDUCTING REGULATORY
IMPACT ASSESSMENT - RIA
KEY ISSUES:
• It is to be done by the ministries
• Process is a part of “normal” legislative
procedure
• RIA is used for all regulative acts (taking into
account the principle of proportionality);
exemptions are “emergency cases” –
compulsory revision after max 2 years
• Supervision is conducted in the process of inter-
ministerial consultation

9
RIA
– CURRENT ACTIVITIES
• Systematic preparation and implementation
of better regulation tools and methodologies
pilot projects – impact assessments on the economy
(including SME test) – prevention of unnecessary
burdens
introducing ex-post assessments (evaluations) of
stock legislation in order to ensure tangible effects
(example: checking the effectiveness of amended
legislation in the field of occupational health and
safety)

10
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
– specific provisions
• Proposals and opinions addressed to the government by
expert and general public are to be deliberated by
relevant ministries and when possible included when
amending or recasting.
• Drafter invites interested public with a general invitation
and attached draft to participate in the process. Drafter
may address expert public with an invitation specifying
open issues.
• Public consultation period takes 30 – 60 days and is
decided by the drafter.
• Drafter is obligated to answer in written on reasons for
not implementing specific solutions in 15 days from
enacting or forwarding the draft to further procedure.

Web portal “minus 25%”
Ministry of Public Administration established web Portal for implementation of the
Programme -25%, (http://www.minus25.gov.si) – inviting and enabling the
interested public to participate in achieving minus 25% goal
• Portal “minus 25 %” consists:
- Web site
- System for managing comments and
- National database of administrative burdens measurement of national regulations
• Portal “minus 25 %” enables:
- To collect all up to date information on implementation of the Action Programme
minus 25%
- To obtain analysis reports on the results of particular peace of legislation which
was previously
measured
- To provide concrete proposals to relevant line ministries

20
Usability of portal “minus 25%”
Through portal we provide:
• transparency (all data analyzes carried out in one place)
• the possibility of participation of users in the creation of legislation
(the possibility of making complaints to the relief of two-way
communication)
• monitoring the net impact of legislative changes (both quantitative
and substantive)
• updating of information (national and EU level) and
• international comparability.

21
Collecting proposals via “minus 25%”
portal
- Collecting proposals / suggestions, comments – a two-way communication with portal
users.
- Proposals are selected/sorted by various field of work and line ministries.
- When published the system sends proposals to the relevant line ministries - opportunity for
ministries to give opinions and to implement it during legislation changes and
implementing other measures.
In case of no replying – resending the comments / proposals / suggestions – RESPONSE IS
MORE THAN 85 %

The Eugo Slovenia
•The Eugo Slovenia is a national business point
that helps foreign business entities from the EU,
EEA Member Countries and the Swiss
Confederation who want to do business in
Slovenia.
•The site provides information about the conditions
and procedures required for performing a certain
activity or profession in the Republic of Slovenia.

The background
•The fundamental document that presents the background to Eugo Slovenia is
the requirement of the European Directive on Services or the Directive
2006/123/EC on services in the internal market, i.e. that each EEA Member
Country must establish its own website or point of single contact which
guarantees providers of services with access information on the requirements of
national legislation in one place.
•The content of the PSC is also closely connected with the implementation of the
Directive on Professions of the Directive 2005/36/EC of the European
Parliament and Council on the recognition of professional qualifications, and
therefore, with the Act Regulating the Qualification Recognition Procedure for
Access of Citizens of EU, EEA Member States and the Swiss Confederation to
Regulated Professions and Professional Activities in the Republic of Slovenia
(OG RS no. 21/02, 92/07 and 85/09) and with the Act on Services in the Internal
Market (OG RS no. 21/2010).

The point of single contacts
http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/eu-go/
The Eugo Slovenia is part of the EUGO network of national
business contact points.
