Year 2011

2011 saw the intensive implementation of the ‘Minus 25%’ Programme and the preparation of a plan of measures for realising the ‘Minus 25%’ Programme. During the fourth stage, the implementation or realisation of the programme of measures was significantly slowed down, as some acts from the field of labour legislation were rejected in referendums, and in the second half of 2011, the adoption of acts which should be amended in order for the fourth stage of the Action programme to be realised, came to an almost complete halt. Due to the aforementioned, the deadlines for implementing the fourth and fifth stages had to be extended.

Regardless of the aforementioned, it is necessary to emphasise that, overall (‘Minus 25%’ programme and individual additional measures), over 200 measures were realised in the period between 2009 and 2011. More information on the savings which are a consequence of individual measures is available on the web portal www.minus25.gov.si.

In October 2011, we established the Minus 25 portal in accordance with the Action Plan. The purpose of the portal is to provide the public with all current information regarding the implementation of the Programme for reducing administrative burdens or realisation of the ‘Minus 25%’ Programme. The portal is especially intended to publish best practices (at both national and EU levels), reports on administrative burdens in an individual regulation (act, rule,…) measured in the programme, and to convey additional proposals of users for simplification in order to achieve the greatest effect possible in pursuing the objective of reducing administrative burdens and simplifying procedures by 25 per cent and, consequently, of simpler and more transparent legislation.
