The revision is scheduled to take effect in the first half of 2027. The consultation on the necessary amendments to the implementing ordinances ends on September 17, 2026.

On May 20, 2026, the Federal Council published its dispatch on this matter without taking into account SwissHoldings\u2019 suggestions regarding a clear separation between the investigative and decision-making authorities and the strengthening of the appeals process.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-dee3ad6 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=Draft%20Register%20of%20Beneficial%20Owners\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Draft Register of Beneficial Owners<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">The Act on the Transparency of Legal Entities provides for a federal register of beneficial owners as well as measures to strengthen the fight against money laundering.

The dispatch is expected in the second half of 2027. SwissHoldings generally welcomes improvements in the area of derivatives regulation but firmly opposes any weakening of selfregulation. <\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-2e09c7a 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=Revision%20of%20the%20Financial%20Market%20Infrastructure%20Act%20(FMIA)\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Motion R\u00fcegsegger \u201cIntroduce Sector Inquiries. Resolve Structural Competition Issues\u201d<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">Motion 24.4590 R\u00fcegsegger seeks to introduce sector inquiries as a supplementary tool into the Cartel Act. This would enable the Competition Commission (COMCO) to conduct preventive analyses of COMCO markets for structural competition problems even in the absence of concrete suspicion. With the publication on December 12, 2025, of the report on Postulate 23.3444 as-sessing the competition law and economic significance of the merger between UBS and CS, the basis for evaluating the mo-tion, as announced by the Federal Council, is now available. The Federal Council thereby confirms its rejection of the introduction of this instrument, as announced in February 2025. SwissHold-ings opposes the motion, as it considers COMCO\u2019s existing instruments to be sufficient and does not deem an expansion of its powers to be necessary.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-9042e63 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Parliamentary Initiative Roduit \"Non-compliance with mandatory working conditions consti-tutes qualified unfair competition and must be prosecuted criminally\"<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">The parliamentary initiative Roduit (21.470) calls for intentional violations of mandatory working conditions to also be subject to criminal prosecution under the Unfair Competition Act (UCA). At its meeting on February 12\u201313, 2026, the National Council took note of the results of the consultation on its draft revision of the UCA and is expected to continue its work on the draft on August 20\u201321, 2026. SwissHoldings is committed to complying with mandatory labor conditions but opposes the Roduit Initiative, as existing protective regulations are sufficient.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-2ed323c swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Parliamentary Initiative Burkart \u201cMore flexibility for working from home.\u201d\u200b<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">The parliamentary initiative Burkart (16.484) aims to adapt the legal framework for working from home and flexible work arrangements to the digital workplace. The National Council began deliberations on the bill in September 2025 and approved a right to be unreachable, a 17-hour working time window, a 9-hour rest period, and up to 9 Sundays of telework per year. The EATC-S began detailed deliberations in January 2026 and will continue discussing the bill in the third quarter of 2026. In particular, the question of whether Sunday work should be voluntary has sparked debate. SwissHoldings supports the bill as a step toward greater flexibility and modernization in labor law.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button elementor-slide-button elementor-size-sm\">Read more<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-6958590 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">Motion G\u00f6ssi \u201cBetter protection of intellectual property from AI misuse.\u201d\u200b<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">The motion originally called for an opt-in mechanism whereby copyright-protected content could only be used to train AI systems with the explicit consent of the rights holders. The parliament agreed on an openly worded version of the motion and referred it to the Federal Council. The motion will now be implemented alongside the bill on ancillary copyright (25.064). SwissHoldings emphasizes that Switzerland should avoid going its own way and should align its implementation with the international landscape.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button
