Document Details:

Since joining the European Union in 2004, Slovenia succeeded in carrying out a range of legislative reforms aimed at harmonising its legal framework with EU standards. Multiple positive developments pertaining to commercial laws happened due to Slovenia’s EU membership, including modernisation of the legal framework for the judiciary and approval of the EU-compliant regulatory framework for electronic communications in 2013. The electricity and gas markets have been fully open and unbundled since 2007. Energy efficiency has been determined as a priority area for energy development; national targets have been set for achieving energy saving, along with incentives for their implementation. A policy objective established by the National Renewable Energy Action Plan is to increase the renewable energy sources share to 25% by 2020. Slovenia has also modernised its Public Procurement Policy, institutional and legal frameworks. The national public procurement legal framework has also received a high score in the EBRD Public Procurement Assessment carried out in 2010.
