The Swiss Council of States has passed a motion that would allow the Federal Council to deviate from the approval criteria for foreign trade in exceptional cases. This motion was passed with 27 votes in favour, 11 against and 3 abstentions. The Federal Council had requested a yes vote. The motion allows the Federal Council to deviate from the approval criteria for foreign trade in exceptional cases or when the foreign or security policy interests of the country require it. The Security Policy Commissions of the Councils must be informed of the decision within 24 hours. If the deviation from the approval criteria is implemented by ordinance, it must be limited in time. A left-wing minority was against the motion. The motion will now be sent to the National Council.
