The Federal Council approved the package, which is divided into nine drafts, on March 13, 2026. Parliamentary deliberations then began, with the FAC-S reviewing the package in its first reading and, among other things, opposing a mandatory referendum. SwissHoldings supports the Federal Council\u2019s efforts to secure sustainable access to the EU single market, but emphasizes the need to pre-serve Switzerland\u2019s economic sovereignty and to carefully exam-ine issues related to integration policy. <\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-1ea04e7 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=Free%20Trade%20Agreement\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Free Trade Agreement<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">Free trade agreements (FTAs) are a key instrument for exportoriented Switzerland in diversifying its trade relations. The network of these agreements is constantly being expanded. Current milestones include the EFTA-India Agreement (TEPA), which entered into force on October 1, 2025, the EFTA-MERCOSUR Agreement, which was signed on September 16, 2025, and the adoption of the dispatch on the Economic Partnership Agreement between the EFTA states and Malaysia. The National Council rejected the EFTA-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement during the summer session. The Economic Partnership Agreement with Malaysia was approved in the final vote. SwissHoldings supports the consistent expansion and modernization of Switzerland\u2019s network of agreements and continues to advocate for the approval of the FTA with Mercosur.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-43fb8a7 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=Swiss%20foreign%20policy.-,Investment%20Controls,-%E2%86%BA%20Updated%20documents\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Investment Controls<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">The bill aims to introduce investment controls in Switzerland. 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 consultation on the implementing ordinance began on June 12, 2026. The In-vestment Screening Act is currently scheduled to take effect in 2027. The revised bill has prevented an excessive expansion of the scope of application and avoided 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 reliable framework conditions for Swiss investments abroad. Since a change in the Federal Council\u2019s practice, IPAs are subject to an optional referendum. The IPA with Chile was approved by both chambers of Parliament. SwissHoldings welcomes the further development of the IPA framework.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-1f32792 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=Corporate%20Responsibility\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Corporate Responsibility<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">In recent years, there have been many developments in the area of sustainability regulation \u2013 both in Switzerland and internation-ally. 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 Sustainable Corporate Governance for consultation as an indirect counterproposal to the Responsible Business Initiative. SwissHoldings participated in the process by submitting a statement. SwissHoldings supports internationally coordinated and proportionate regulation, but rejects the current 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 ombudsman procedures can serve as an effective alternative to the introduction of class actions. The Federal Council\u2019s report is expected in the coming months.

From SwissHoldings\u2019 perspective, there is a need for regulation that strengthens stability without tightening financing conditions for companies.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button
