The review was prepared by a multidisciplinary team, led by Daniel Trnka, Senior Policy Analyst and Christiane Arndt, Senior Economist, with the encouragement and support of Rolf Alter, Director; Luis De Mello, Deputy Director, Public Governance Directorate and Nick Malyshev, Head, Regulatory Policy Division, Public Governance Directorate. The following team members took primary responsibility for different sections of the review: Daniel Trnka for stakeholder engagement and transparency, Christiane Arndt for ex post evaluation and Eric Thomson for the remaining chapters. Yola Thürer provided excellent research assistance on performance-based regulation and ex post evaluation as well as presenting at the workshops. Claudia Paupe lent administrative and organisation support. Jennifer Stein co-ordinated the editorial process.
The team included peers from the members of the OECD Regulatory Policy Committee, who actively participated in the first fact-finding mission to Slovenia and provided key inputs throughout the development of the review: Stephan Naundorf, Counsellor of Minister of State Helge Braun and Representative of the Better Regulation Office Federal Chancellor; Helena Braun, Advisor, Better Regulation, Legislative Policy Department, Ministry of Justice, Estonia; and Roland Schneider, Federal Chancellery of Austria. Martin Traynor from the UK RPC and Daniel Kühnheinrich, German Federal Statistical Office also participated in the workshops in Slovenia.
The review would have not been possible without the support of the government of Slovenia. The team would like to thank in particular Janja Jenc and Andraz Pernar from the Ministry of Public Administration for the unique assistance in collecting data and information, organising the team’s fact-finding mission and workshops in Slovenia and providing feedback throughout the development of the review.
