Swiss agrarian policy 2007 and its implementation

In its summer session 2003 the Swiss parliament concluded its debate concerning its message on the further development of agrarian policy (agrarian policy 2007). For the most part it supported the Federal Council’s proposals. On the basis of these changes in current law, as well as for the purposes of optimising their implementation, the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs put the seal on a series of ordinances for 2007. They include changes in 40 federal ordinances. The consultation process regarding this package will last until 5 September 2003.
