Slovenia's battery register under the EU rules
Slovenia keeps a dedicated battery register, rebuilt around the EU Battery Regulation. This is the Slovenian battery producer register held by MOPE, part of the country's EPR system, and it is required under the decree that implements the Regulation.
National battery duties date to 2010, and applications are filed through the SPOT business portal.
