Year 2008

The Ministry for Public Administration and several stakeholders prepared the Programme for eliminating administrative barriers 2008 and 2009. The programme consisted of three parts and included a new package of 44 measures for eliminating administrative barriers, two programmes for implementation measures 28/07 – the reduction of obligations in the field of gathering statistical information and collecting various reports, and the first programme for reducing administrative burdens by 25% by 2012.

In 2008, the Manual for Planning, Managing and Evaluating of Public Participation Processes was prepared. The manual fully explains and presents various options of public participation in the regulation process.

It may be the case that the programme implementation in 2008 was hindered by the fact that regulations, subjects to modifications, were not included in the work programme of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia for 2008; nevertheless, 17 out of 35 measures, the implementation deadline for which expired on 31 December 2008, were realised. Thus the programme realisation rate for 2008 was approximately 50 per cent.
