Now that consultations on the draft negotiating mandate have been completed, it is very important for the Federal Council to get down to business quickly.
negotiations. The Open+Sovereign Alliance supports the Federal Council in its chosen path.

Read the press release.

The Federal Council has published the external study on the impact of the European Directive on the Duty of Diligence (CS3D) on Swiss companies and the country’s attractiveness and competitiveness.

Bringing Swiss legislation into line with this directive, taking account of Switzerland’s specific characteristics, will cut red tape for Swiss companies with European operations. It will also enable them to respond favourably to requests from their European partners, who are members of the same value chain, thereby preserving their competitiveness.

This result allows Switzerland, and not third countries, to levy and benefit from the resulting tax differential itself. It is part of an international context that guarantees the companies concerned the legal certainty they need to operate smoothly.,

Interview with Pierre de Pena, Vice-President of the Groupement des entreprises multinationales (GEM), on the June 18 vote.

Legal instability, deterioration of relations, erosion of market access… The consequences of the Federal Council’s decision not to sign the framework agreement between Switzerland and the European Union (EU) are worrying. Business circles are alarmed by the situation and call for this issue to be put back at the center of priorities as a matter of urgency.

By signing this charter, the signatory company undertakes to announce to the OCE all of its vacant positions, in addition to the currently existing legal obligation to announce vacant positions in the types of professions where the rate of national unemployment exceeds 5%. For its part, the OCE undertakes to propose, within 5 working days of receiving the email announcing the vacant position, candidates corresponding to the profiles sought. Ultimately, the employer remains perfectly free to hire or not to hire the candidates proposed by the state. By signing this charter, the company is therefore making a non-binding moral commitment that can be denounced at any time. A list of exceptions (intra-group transfer, trainee, etc.) to be agreed is possible.
