Bilateral III: Commission wants to introduce a fee in the event of high immigration
The State Policy Commission of the Council of States wants to supplement the safeguard clause of the Bilateral Agreements III with an immigration fee.
The State Policy Commission of the Swiss Council of States has completed its consultation on changes to the Foreigners and Integration Act as part of the Bilateral III agreement. The commission supports the implementation of Bilateral III in foreign law but wants to add a migration levy to the safeguard clause. If the clause is triggered, employers would have to pay the levy for employees, with the revenue going back to the population.
The Federal Council would also have to check annually for serious economic or social problems and possible protective measures. The commission also wants to tighten security checks.
