From the Revue Polytechnique N ° 1804 8/15, under the heading 'Company Law':, an article by Edouard Huguelet on pages 26 and 27.  

The new properties introduced in leg-em serve as permanent monitoring of the legislative evolution, in particular by:

  • 1. The introduction of the preventive part of the laws makes it possible to know the projects associated with each law by the consultation procedures.
  • 2. The introduction of the addressable date range each month informs the subscriber of the legislative changes

All relevant information for the subscriber, according to his profile, is contained in the analysis of the laws below (Questions 100 and following)

We are working on a multilingual version in 6 languages, like the data collected on our site.

A little reminder of the leg-em.com data: all the data collected are multilingual, ie:

  • 1. Swiss legislative acts, laws and abbreviations are available (French, German and Italian), including:
  • 2. access to laws and articles,
  • 3. access to parliamentary objects cited in the acts, ...
  • 4. Swiss laws translated into English, without the force of law (90 acts),
  • 5. European directives in languages equivalent to the laws of the RS - Swiss Classified Compilation,
  • 6. European directives regarding Swiss laws are also available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.    

The links are created during the registration of each act of the FF and the RO for the quote in the acts:

  • (a) the laws of the RS and / or articles of law,
  • b) acts of the FF and the RO,
  • (c) EC newspapers,
  • d) documents of the Parliament, ie IP Parliamentary Interventions, MO-Motions, PO-Postulate, ...
  • Links may not succeed:
  • 1. These links may not succeed in case a law was modified or cancelled
  • 2. Following an erroneous codification performed in the above act. Thank you to report it to us.
  • We have also gathered the abbreviations contained in the Acts, searched equivalences in the German, Italian and English languages when applicable in:
  • 1. Sequences at the bottom of the dashboard: Abbreviations RS and Abbreviations RO and FF.
  • 2. Links on the admin.ch or external websites, representative of these abbreviations, may not reach their destination due to websites version changes. We apologize for that.

11.1 Search. In the sequence 'Search: Legislative texts' (see explanations in 401)

The search is carried out in the sequence Journal RO and FF, that is to say on all the titles of the acts of the FF and the RO since 1998, as well as on the significant summaries that we bring to the acts since 2012.

This targeted research makes it possible to quickly find the laws and ordinances, their evolution, without knowing the structure of the RS.

Questions about Dashboard Sequences

100 Analysis of laws and ordinances

- List the new Eev (entered into force) of the modified laws, to allow the verification to the conformity of the subscriber to the new provisions:

  • 1. Introductions of new articles (N °, title, access to the article, month and year)
  • 2. Introductions of new paragraphs of articles, letters with indication of the article and description of the text introduced.
  • 3. Updating the prescription appendices (No., title, access to the appendix, month and year)
  • 4. The new significant levels
  • 5. Cancellations of Laws
  • 6. New expressions, administrative units, etc.

The number of occurrences of items 1 to 6 above is shown for legislative changes.

Know since when the law came into effect: unchanged since DD / MM / YY

  • For standards, a summary of the new provisions (eg ISO 9001: 2015)
  • For the cantons, the modification number and the text of the modification is indicated in the right-hand monitoring column

 In the 'Other' example, we took the case of a company which is present in Switzerland and France to indicate the legislative equivalences, based on the codification of the RS - Systematic Digest.

 It is sufficient, in the version of the subscriber, to remove the country 'France' from the profile to list only the Swiss laws.
