Switzerland: Progress in protecting "Swissness"
The IGE informs that The Swiss Federal Council has commissioned the Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police
"…to draft the dispatch for the legislative project "Swissness" today [15 October 2008]. The bill has two main goals: first, to strengthen protection for 'made in Switzerland' designations and the Swiss Cross here and abroad. Secondly, to create greater legal clarity and certainty by regulating ‘made in Switzerland’ designations and the Swiss Cross more precisely."
The Federal Department of Justice and Police will now draft the legislative bills. It is planned that the Federal Council will then present the bills to Swiss parliament sometime before the end of 2009.
