The Council of States wants to undo the tightening of the War Materials Act on one point, which the States decided on in 2021. In exceptional cases, the Federal Council must be able to deviate from the approval criteria.

A motion adopted by the Council of States on Thursday demands that the Federal Council can deviate from the approval criteria for foreign transactions if there are extraordinary circumstances. He should also be able to do so if the protection of the country’s interests in foreign or security policy so requires.

Left against it

According to the text of the motion, the Federal Council must inform the councils’ security policy committees of its decision within 24 hours. If the deviation from the approval criteria is implemented by regulation, it must be limited in time.

A left-wing minority in the Council of States opposed the motion, which was adopted by 27 votes to 11 with three abstentions. The Federal Council had asked for a yes vote. The motion goes to the National Council (SDA)
