As announced, the Federal Council wants to quickly unblock the outstanding cohesion billion to the EU. The government announced on Wednesday that parliament should release the cohesion and migration framework credit “as soon as possible”.
The Federal Council wants to adapt the federal decisions on the second Swiss contribution to selected EU member states.
In principle, the councils had already spoken the cohesion billion, but the payout was subject to conditions. According to the will of the Federal Council, these conditions are now to be deleted.
No referendum possible
If the National Council and Council of States approve the proposal, the cohesion contribution would be released. A referendum against the decision would no longer be possible.
It is questionable whether the bill will already be dealt with by both chambers in the autumn session. If one of the council offices does not find the deal urgent, it goes its proper way. A decision can then be expected in the winter session at the earliest.
