In January, Energy Minister Albert Rösti announced during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos GR that the three countries want to conclude the gas treaty soon.

Now the time has come: the entire Federal Council has authorized Rösti to sign a corresponding annex to this agreement, as he announced. In addition, the responsible departments have been instructed to submit a consultation template by May with the ratification application and the required commitment appropriations.

Even if the energy situation in Europe has now improved compared to the past two winters, such an agreement would “make sense” in an emergency, Rösti said in January. Such an agreement is a “win-win situation”.
