Last year the ministry worked intensively with Amazon to enable Slovenian firms to do business on Amazon Europe's e-commerce platform as soon as possible.

At their last meeting in Brussels at the end of 2018 Amazon presented its reservations, but following further coordination a solution was found.

The ministry stressed it was aware of how important this commerce channel is for Slovenian firms, so it had pushed for a solution to be found as soon as possible.

It noted that Amazon had already launched the necessary investment to adjust technically to include Slovenia.

Amazon expects all solutions should be in place in the third quarter of this year, the ministry also said.
