Inland bathing water quality in Slovenia is good and comparable with bathing water quality in other European countries.

In Slovenia, most of the consumed food (more than 70 %) is imported, only about a third is of Slovenian origin; before 2004, 40 % of the consumed food was imported. After Slovenia joined the EU, the import and export of food has increased significantly. Exports increased mainly at the expense of unprocessed agricultural products, while imports increased at the expense of processed products. More than half of the imported food (60 %) is imported from neighbouring countries (Austria, Croatia, Italy and Hungary), mainly cereals, fruit, vegetables and sugar.
