1. On November 6 Econoff learned that the Government of
Slovenia (GOS) would not be attending the Maritime Safety
Committee meeting. When Econoff delivered reftel points on
November 28 to Jadran Luin, Director General at the Ministry
of Transport (MOT) in charge of Maritime affairs, Luin
explained that due to limited resources, the Slovenian
Ambassador to Great Britain usually represented national
interests at IMO meetings. At this time, the GOS focuses on
three committees to the exclusion of all others: the Legal,
Maritime Safety and Maritime Environmental Protection
Committees. Although not active with the IMO, Luin stressed
that the GOS is actively working with neighboring countries
with regards to maritime routes and safety. Maritime issues
are important to the GOS as they relate to the port in Koper
but the GOS does not have an official position on either the
LRIT or GMDSS programs, which are to be discussed at the
meeting in Istanbul.
