The legal construct of public authorisation has been present in the Slovenian legal order for quite some time. Consequently, we can say that this is a fairly well regulated and refined legal construct, which is not related to many legal issues. Its importance can be derived from the fact that it can be found in the Slovenian constitution, which also governs it. At its essence, this legal construct is a transfer of administrative tasks/functions onto entities which are not a part of State Administration, but only if the reason of efficiency or the lack of need for permanent political supervision allows this transfer. The actual types of administrative tasks being trusted to the holder of public authorisation will depend on the specific legal qualifications, which means that they can differ a lot from case to case. At the same time, we have be aware of the fact, that there are currently in Slovenia a lot of different holders of public authorisations, on many different areas of State Administration. This fragmentation requires a lot of sectoral legislation, which can regulate the same subject-matter (e.g. granting of public authorisation) in a very different manner. As a consequence, we are witnessing a legislative state where we have cases of detailed descriptions of the whole grant procedure, while on the other hand we also have legislation, which regulates the same subject-matter inadequately or it just refers to other (general) legislative acts. The most important circumstance, which is also the reason for certain differences in granting and withdrawal of public authorisation, is certainly the sole fact of whether the public authorisation is granted to legal person governed by public law or to any other subject/ legal or physical person.
