The second reading of changes to the medicinal products act which transpose the EU directive designed to prevent falsified medicines from entering the legal supply chain, will take place on Tuesday.

Wednesday's agenda will be dominated by changes to the wine act which expand powers of inspectors and stiffen fines for illegal sale of wine and unregistered wine producers. The new legislation is part of the government-sponsored package to crack down on tax evasion.

On the same day MPs will also debate changes to the tax procedure act which will institute a super tax as a means of fighting undeclared income and expand the period for which suspicions assets can be scrutinised.

The new legislation will empower the Tax Administration to impose a 70% tax rate on undeclared income. In presenting the bill, the government said there were many in Slovenia who live beyond their declared means, implying they cannot account for their income in a lawful manner.

Changes to the international protection act meanwhile transpose to Slovenian legislation the provisions from the relevant EU directive determining criteria for international protection and the range of rights member states have to provide to persons under international protection.

On the last day of the session, the National Assembly will debate the opposition-sponsored changes to the forests act that would scrap the recently introduced licenses for transport of wood for own use, and transpose EU mining legislation.

On Friday, MPs are most likely to meet for an extraordinary session to debate the capital shortfall of Slovenian banks in the wake of the results of stress tests which have showed eight banks would need some EUR 4.8bn in a worst-case scenario.

The session was requested by the opposition Democrats (SDS), who also want to debate measures the government would take to hold those responsible for the bank hole accountable.

Also on Friday, MPs will hold a ceremonial session to mark the 26 December Independence and Unity Day, on which Slovenians remember the day in 1990 when results were released of the independence referendum, in which an overwhelming majority said they would like to see Slovenia leave Yugoslavia.
