The network of these agreements is constantly being expanded. Current milestones include the EFTA\u2013India Agreement (TEPA), which entered into force on 1 October 2025, the EFTA\u2013MERCOSUR Agreement, which was signed on 16 September 2025, and the adoption of the dispatch on the Economic Partnership Agreement between the EFTA states and Malaysia. The FTAs with Mer-cosur and Malaysia are expected to be discussed by the National Council during the summer session.

During the last winter session, the National Council and the Council of States agreed on a streamlined version that limits the scope of application to foreign state investors. The referendum period runs until 17 April 2026. The revised bill has made it pos-sible to avoid an excessive expansion of the scope of application and additional regulatory costs.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-663bf16 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><a class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" href=\"https:\/\/swissholdings.ch\/en\/updates\/#:~:text=sector%2Dspecific%20thresholds.-,Investment%20Protection%20Agreements,-Executive%20Summary\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Investment Protection Agreements<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">Switzerland has one of the world\u2019s largest networks of bilateral investment protection agreements (IPAs). Investment protection agreements create a reliable framework for Swiss investments abroad. Following a change in the Federal Council\u2019s practice, IPAs are now subject to an optional referendum. The IPA with Chile was adopted by the National Council during the 2026 spring session and will be considered by the FAC-S in mid-April.

The EU has introduced significant simplifications with the adoption of the Omnibus I Directive. Following this, on 2 April 2026, the Federal Council submitted the Federal Act on Sustain-able Corporate Governance for consultation as an indirect coun-terproposal to the Responsible Business Initiative. The consulta-tion period runs until 9 July 2026. SwissHoldings will be partici-pating in the consultation. SwissHoldings supports internationally coordinated and proportionate regulation, but rejects the cur-rent counterproposal as the draft does not take sufficient account of international developments. <\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-c9a0f26 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><a class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" href=\"https:\/\/swissholdings.ch\/en\/updates\/#:~:text=Collective%20Legal%20Protection\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Collective Legal Protection<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">The class action bill (21.082) has been rejected by the National Council and the Council of States. Instead, the Council of States has referred Postulate 25.3954, which instructs the Federal Council to examine whether existing conciliation and ombuds-man procedures can serve as an effective alternative to the in-troduction of class actions. The Federal Council\u2019s report is expected in the coming months.

The first two consultation rounds on the package have already taken place. Two further rounds are expected in the first half of 2026. With Bill 26.027 amending the Banking Act, the first proposal in the package is on the agenda of the EATC-S for its meeting on 4 May 2026. From SwissHoldings\u2019 perspective, there is a need for regulation that strengthens stability without tightening financing conditions for companies.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button
