Supporting reforms in Slovenia TSI 2022

The Technical Support Instrument (TSI) is the EU programme that provides tailor-made technical expertise to EU Member States to design and to implement reforms at the national level, with an emphasis on the green and digital transitions. The TSI also supports the preparation and implementation of Recovery and Resilience Plans. TSI 2022 main novelties are the multi-country projects, geared at addressing common issues among Member States thereby underlying the EU added-value of the instrument, and the "Flagship" projects, supporting reforms which are largely needed across Member States and are in line with the EU priorities.

Initiated in 2021, the TSI is the successor of the Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP). Since 2017, both programmes have helped design, develop and implement over 1500 reform projects in 27 Member States.

With the second round of the TSI, the Commission will support Slovenia with 6 projects in the areas of research and innovation ecosystem, tourism ecosystem, cyber risk reduction, micro-data infrastructure, digital finance and health. 3 of those projects are multi-country projects. 

Examples of new projects adopted include:

Slovenia has so far benefited from 47 projects financed by the TSI or its predecessor, the Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP). This support has addressed a broad range of policy areas, including labour markets, long-term care, healthcare, social security, education, justice, taxation, banking and capital markets, innovation, green transition and sustainable transport.

A particular focus has been on the improving corporate governance of state-owned enterprises, on public administration, and on strengthening the ability to do evidence-based policy-making. To date, 31 projects have been successfully concluded.
