Year 2006

In 2006, the Rules amending the Rules of Procedure of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia (Article 8) were adopted, which introduce a more transparent procedure for adopting regulations with more thorough monitoring of cooperation with the interested public and assessing the impact on the economy, environment, social security and administrative barriers.

This was the beginning of the systematic revision of the rules in terms of administrative burdens, as a significant share of administrative burdens is imposed by rules issued by ministers. These acts are not the subject of a Government procedure, and thus there is no guarantee that they were revised in terms of administrative barriers.  Therefore, the Government instructed all ministries to send, from 6 January 2006 on, all rules issued by ministers, as well as other regulations (instructions, orders), which may be issued by ministers on the basis of law and infringe upon legal relations outside the body, for revision to the Ministry of Public Administration via e-mail prior to their being forwarded to the Government Office of Legislation.

The Ministry of Public Administration in cooperation with various stakeholders prepared the Programme for eliminating administrative barriers (2006), which was adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia and included 34 measures.
