In the 2025 winter session, the Council of States followed the National Council\u2019s compromise proposal on the assessment of agreements. The amendment scheduled to come into force at the beginning of 2027. The consultation on the necessary amendments to the implementing ordinances is scheduled for June 2026.

The Federal Council\u2019s dispatch is expected in April or May 2026. SwissHoldings supports the reform of the competition commission and advocates for 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 and measures to strengthen the fight against money laundering. Both drafts were passed in the 2025 autumn session. The law is expected to come into force in October 2026, in time for the 2027 FATF country review.

The message is expected for autumn 2026. Swiss-Holdings welcomes improvements in the area of derivatives regulation in principle, but firmly rejects 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 calls for the introduction of sector inquiries as a supplementary instrument in the Cartel Act. This would enable the Competition Commission to analyze markets for structural competition problems on a preventive basis, even without concrete suspicion. On February 19, 2025, the Federal Council proposed rejecting the motion. With the publication of the report on postulate 23.3444 assessing the significance of the merger between UBS and CS in terms of competition law and the economy, the basis announced by the Federal Council for as-sessing the motion is now available. The Federal Council continues to reject the introduction of this instrument. SwissHoldings rejects the motion, as it considers the existing instruments of the Competition Commission to be sufficient and does not consider an extension 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 persecuted under the UCA. At its meeting on February 12\u201313, 2026, the LAC-N took note of the results of the consultation on its draft revision of the UCA and is expected to resume its work on the draft on April 16\u201317, 2026.

In September 2025, the National Council considered the bill 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 to discuss the bill in the third quarter of 2026. In particular, the question of whether Sunday work is voluntary has led to discussions. The EATC-S will continue its deliberations on the matter in the third quarter of 2026. SwissHoldings supports the bill as a step toward greater flexibility and modernity 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 parliment agreed on an openly worded version of the motion and referred it to the Federal Council. The National Council now proposes implementing the motion together with the bill on ancillary copyrights (25.064). The SECC-S agrees. The vote in the Council of States is still pending. SwissHoldings emphasizes that Switzerland should avoid going its own way and should align its implementation with the international landscape.<\/div><div  class=\"elementor-button
