The agricultural inspectorate, as a body within the Ministry, operates under the Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia for Agriculture, Forestry, Hunting and Fisheries. In carrying out inspections, agricultural inspectors basically conduct inspection administrative and inspection violation procedures. When concluding the fact-finding and confirmatory procedure, the inspector my order various measures, depending on the gravity of the violation and the content of inspection, while respecting the principle of proportionality. The number and severity of issued administrative and violation measures are not sufficient efficiency indicators of inspectorate’s performance. The diploma thesis includes an analysis of administrative and violation measures of the agriculture inspectorate during the years 2015-2019. Data that later verified the set hypothesis, were obtained with the help of annual reports of the Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia for Agriculture, Forestry, Hunting and Fisheries. The analyzed data showed that the agricultural inspectorate issued more administrative than violation inspection measures in the compared years, which indicates a focus on care for the future legality of the agricultural inspectorate. The obtained Inspectorate data also allowed an analysis of performance of persons subjected to an inspection in appeal proceedings against issued administrative decisions of the agricultural inspectorate, and later also confirmed the hypothesis that the persons subjected to an inspection are successful only in a small number of appeals. The results of the conducted analysis of administrative and violation measures issued by the agricultural inspectorate provide an insight into the factors of systemic efficiency of this form of control. Contribution of the diploma thesis could, based on the findings, aid the agricultural inspectorate and other related participants.
