Year 2007

In April 2007, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia formed a permanent inter-ministerial working group for the better preparation of regulations and elimination of administrative barriers. This group included representatives of all ministries and some government offices. The main task of the working group was to introduce mechanisms for the better preparation of legislation, i.e. simplification and accessibility of legislation, the assessment of impacts, the elimination of administrative barriers and public consultation.. Ad hoc working groups could be specially formed for individual projects.

The Ministry of Public Administration in cooperation with various stakeholders prepared the Programme for eliminating administrative barriers (2007), which included 30 measures. In September 2007, the Ministry of Public Administration was awarded the ePractice.eu Good Practice label for the example of best practice in eliminating administrative barriers by means of developing the new information system which supported this programme.
