Year 2009

On 19 November 2009, the National Assembly adopted the Resolution on Legislative Regulation, which represents a political commitment of each government to respect the principles of better preparation of regulations and to include the public in the process of forming new policies or in the procedure for preparing new regulations.

Handbook on Impact Assessment was also prepared in 2009. The handbook is an instruction or aid for preparing a regulation or government material and implementing training for civil servants from the field of impact assessments on the economy, environment and social services. The handbook will be amended by contributions from individual ministries.

The Programme of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia for eliminating administrative barriers and reducing administrative burdens by 25% by 2012 was adopted as the fundamental strategic and operational document for reducing administrative burdens and eliminating administrative barriers, which is part of the endeavour for better public administration, or of the entire project for eliminating administrative barriers, and a continuation and upgrade of planned and systematic government actions. The programme consists of two parts, i.e. the programme for reducing administrative burdens by 25% by 2012 and 41 ‘quick’ measures. In 2009, the Government approved a list of acts (71) and related executive acts measured within the project, i.e. 3,500 regulations altogether.
