The Government also adopted The Methodology for Implementation and Supervising of Statement on Reduction of Administrative Burdens and Participation of Interested Publics. The development of better regulation is the key factor for increase of competetive position and the central Slovene developmental priority that strives for effective and cheaper state. Better regulation represents key factor both in economic growth increase and effectiveness of business environment. It is of the essential importance to effectively plan and analyze the effects of new regulation prior to its preparation. Moreover, thoughtful discussion on objectives and expected effects of the regulation is fundamental.

Most of the comparable regulations are based on the two components of legislative procedure:

• analysis of the decision effects,
• participation of the interested publics.

Ministry decided to follow the two components and formed the Statement on Reduction of Administrative Burdens and Participation of Interested Publics which will serve as a convenient tool for early warning of possible efects of the regulation.

The Methodology for Implementation and Supervising of the Statement is designed for preciser definition of initial evaluation on effects of regulation. The initial evaluation is the information for the regulation preparator that will include analysis, possible risks, benefits and costs. It will serve as a indicator how to proceed the regulation preparation.

To achieve the highest possible implementation of the regulation, the Ministry will organize course for civil servants working in the field of the regulation preparation.
