Resumen de Switzerland: : Swiss Government Wants To Modernise Copyright
The Federal Council (Switzerland�s Government) is to adapt the country�s legislation on copyright in keeping with the new demands placed on it by the Internet. It intends to adopt measures affecting Internet access providers (IAPs) as well as performers and consumers. The aim of the revised legislation is to strengthen the position of performers without affecting consumers� rights. On 6 June 2014, the Federal Council therefore invited the Federal Department of Justice and Police to draw up draft legislation by the end of 2015, to be submitted to the parties concerned for consultation. The draft could take up the recommendations made by the working party on copyright (AGUR12), and should also take into account the conclusions of an interdepartmental working party set up to look into the civil liability of platform operators and IAPs.
