SLOVENIA:
Marjan Cencen said that the transition to a
parliamentary democracy and market economy is calling also for
thorough legislative reform of the environmental protection laws in
new democracies. The competitiveness of the Slovenian economy will
be protected by the ban on the import of polluting technologies to
Slovenia. This year the Slovenian Parliament has passed an
Environmental Protection Act and cooperation of NGOs is being
sought in the implementation of Agenda 21. Slovenia needs
international financial assistance in the environmental field for
business and environmental investments or restructuring; steering
the economy in an environmentally-sound direction; and transferring
of appropriate technology and management practices. Within the UN,
efforts have to be made for the appropriate division of labor with
regard to environmental issues. The document that would result from
these efforts could be submitted to the CSD for comment and to
ECOSOC for approval.
