Switzerland enacts in German, French and Italian. This is Fedlex's English translation, which Fedlex itself publishes without legal force. Where a word matters, the German, French or Italian text governs and this page does not. Every other instrument in this library is reproduced from its own authentic language text; this one is the exception and says so on every page.
