Human Settlements POVERTY Decision-Making: Coordinating Bodies As Slovakia grapples with the new phenomenon of open unemployment, the establishment of an institutional framework to create regional employment agencies has become a priority concern of the Government. Since the beginning of 1991, 38 district employment agencies have been created that have gradually branched into 105 local employment agencies. Decision-Making Legislation and Regulations In 1991, the first two fundamental pieces of legislation related to employment were drafted; namely the Employment Act , and an act concerning the performance of state agencies in enforcing employment policy . A third complementary law, which had been adopted in the period prior to the independence of the Slovak Republic, helped to create a comprehensive legal framework for employment policy. Its enforcement provisions have been amended to reflect the changing conditions in the Slovak labor market. In the event of material or social need, the basic conditions of living are provided within the social assistance system. The basis of this system is minimum subsistence (first introduced in 1991). The law stipulates benefits for nutrition and other personal needs for adults and children, and benefits to help run a household. Social benefits are a replacement for regular income and are used to ensure a minimum income level. Each citizen is guaranteed social assistance equivalent to the minimum subsistence.

PHR2003 Home Overview Threats to Privacy Country Reports ... Glossary Slovak Republic The Act on Protection of Personal Data in Information Systems was approved in February 1998 and went into effect on March 1, 1998. The Act replaces the previous 1992 Czechoslovakian legislation. It limits the collection, disclosure and use of personal information by government agencies and private enterprises either in electronic or manual form. It creates duties of access, accuracy and correction, security, and confidentiality on the data processor. Processing of information on racial, ethnic, political opinions, religion, philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, and sexuality is forbidden. Special protections are provided for sensitive data, defined as data revealing "racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership and data concerning health or sex life and conviction." Transfers to other countries are limited unless the country has "adequate" protection. All systems are required to be registered with the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. The Act created a new office, the Inspection Unit for the Protection of Personal Data, headed by the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, to supervise and enforce the Act.

Mission of the Slovak Republic to NATO, Brussels Dear visitors, The one of the main priority of foreign policy of the Slovak Republic since its foundation is to be a member of NATO. Therefore, Slovakia from the beginning has actively participated in all NATO activities related to reach that goal. Slovakia has been among the first states that signed the PfP Program and it is with other nations the founder of EAPC . Slovakia actively participates in all activities posed by these initiatives in the political means and military as well. Additional input of crucial importance in our efforts to preparation for future NATO membership is MAP . Our country is using all opportunities of this framework in order to be ready to join NATO when Allies decide to extend next invitations. We hope it will be soon and our hopes are focusing to the next NATO summit „which will be held no later than 2002". The Slovak Mission to NATO provides the contact point between NATO and Slovakia in all NATO and Partnership areas. The new website of the Slovak Mission to NATO should therefore help all visitors to provide relevant information concerning Slovakia´s ambitions and on its all range of activities towards NATO and its security policy.

Missions are undertaken as part of regular (usually annual) consultations under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement, in the context of a request to use IMF resources (borrow from the IMF), as part of discussions of staff monitored programs, and as part of other staff reviews of economic developments. Concluding Statement IMF Staff Visit to the Slovak Republic, October 7-15, 2003 1. An IMF mission has conducted discussions with the authorities focusing on fiscal policy for this year and the next. This note presents the mission's assessment of the current economic situation and lays out policy recommendations. Macroeconomic Background Recent economic indicators suggest that strong growth is continuing, macroeconomic imbalances are narrowing, unemployment is declining, and core inflation remains low . Real GDP growth eased to 3.9 percent in the first half of 2003, driven by exports. The volume of exports grew by an impressive 37 percent in the first half of 2003 despite weak economic growth in Europe, and contributed to a trade surplus in May-August for the first time in three years. The external current account deficit thus fell from 8.6 percent of GDP in the twelve months to June 2002 to under 5 percent of GDP in the twelve months to June 2003. Private consumption has slowed substantially, though, reflecting the impact of price deregulation and indirect tax hikes on real disposable income. Investment has also been sluggish. The price and tax increases have led to a jump in headline inflation this year but apparently not to any significant second-round inflationary effects, and real wages have declined moderately.

Slovak Republic Preliminary Conclusions of the IMF Mission to Review the Staff-Monitored Program March 13, 2002 1. In March 2001 the Slovak authorities concluded the preparation of an economic program that brought together the various elements of the government's economic strategy. This ambitious program has been monitored by International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff, and a mission has been in Bratislava for the past two weeks conducting the program's last review. While fiscal and monetary policies have been broadly as envisaged during 2001, other policies, particularly those related to structural reform, have been implemented less forcefully. I.
