WORKING GROUPS

 

In addition to the Working Group for European Affairs, there are 35 other working groups within the system of coordination of European affairs, which are responsible for individual subject areas as an additional coordinating mechanism. All are involved in the preparation of positions of the Republic of Slovenia during the process of adopting legislative proposals and other European Union acts.


They meet in order to prepare a particular position on a legislative or other EU proposal, or they might discuss wider topical issues and recommend appropriate courses of action. Most contact between the members of an individual working group is electronic.


According to the subject area that the particular working group is responsible for, representatives of competent state authorities participate in its work. If necessary, an individual working group may invite other bodies which were not initially anticipated in the composition of the working group to cooperate with it.
