  • Technical Secretariat
    OPCW Technical Secretariat S/1666/2018 29 August 2018 ENGLISH only NOTE BY THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL STATUS OF THE LABORATORIES DESIGNATED FOR AUTHENTIC ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLE ANALYSIS 1. The Conference of the States Parties (hereinafter “the Conference”) at its First Session established the conditions under which laboratories may seek designation (C-I/DEC.60, C-I/DEC.61, C-I/DEC.62, and C-I/DEC.65, all dated 22 May 1997), and at its Fifth Session (C-V/6, dated 19 May 2000) mandated the Executive Council (hereinafter “the Council”) to take a decision regarding guidelines on the designation of laboratories for the analysis of authentic samples. The Council took this decision at its Twentieth Session (EC-XX/DEC.3, dated 28 June 2000). Additional guidelines on the designation of laboratories for the analysis of authentic samples were adopted by the Conference at its Twentieth Session (C-20/DEC.4, dated 2 December 2015). 2. When designating laboratories for the analysis of authentic samples, and in accordance with C-I/DEC.61 and C-I/DEC.65, the Director-General takes the following into account: (a) whether the laboratory has established a quality system in accordance with the standards (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 or equivalent) and has valid accreditation by an internationally recognised accreditation body for the tasks for which it is seeking designation—namely, for the analysis of chemical warfare agents and related compounds in various types of samples; and (b) whether the laboratory has performed successfully in the proficiency testing programme of the OPCW. 3. A laboratory must participate in the proficiency testing programme at least once per calendar year unless the additional guidelines in C-20/DEC.4 are applicable.

  • Switzerland in the Foreign Media: Second Quarter 2018
    Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA April–June 2018 General Secretariat FDFA GS Presence Switzerland Switzerland in the foreign media: Second quarter 2018 The ‘Sovereign Money Initiative’ in the headlines The Sovereign Money Initiative attracted lively interest in the international media both before and after the vote, further strengthening the emblematic link between Switzerland and the banking sector. All the different aspects of the initiative were scrutinised – often in great detail – not only in Switzerland but also globally, as were the arguments of the initiative’s protagonists and opponents. Although, according to the media, the initiative had little chance of success because it was seen as too radical for a country like Switzerland, the coun- « Suiza como laboratorio » (El País, Espagne) try is often seen as a political laboratory in view of its system of direct democracy. This kind of ‘Sovereign Money Initiative’ No campaign debate – complex but nonetheless essential – had relevance beyond the country’s (©) borders. There was also speculation about how big an impact such a measure would have had if the initiative had been accepted. The outcome of the vote prompted a lively response especially in the British and the German-language me- dia, which saw the relevance of the situation in their countries and the European Union. Overall, the outcome of the vote was presented from a neutral perspective. Big impact of David Goodall’s assisted suicide in Switzerland The assisted suicide in Switzerland of the Australian national David Goodall cap- tured more attention in the foreign media than any other event in Switzerland during this quarter.

  • Switzerland's Image on Twitter and in Foreign Media
    Switzerland seen from abroad in 2018: Switzerland’s image on Twitter and in foreign media 18 December 2018 © Keystone / Laurent Gillieron Swiss midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri making double-headed eagle gesture at the World Cup match Switzerland vs Serbia KEY POINTS IN BRIEF Foreign media reports and Twitter activity concerning Switzerland covered a wide variety of topics in 2018, many of which were conducive to Switzerland’s image. The analysis shows that Switzerland consistently enjoys a positive image abroad. The perception of Switzerland was strongly influenced by annually recurring topics such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Swiss athletes and direct democracy. In particular, Switzerland’s European policy, immigrant integration in Switzerland, and occasional tensions with Russia (suspected espionage activities) and Spain (Catalan separatists residing in Switzerland) received prominent coverage in 2018. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s role as a financial centre drew less media attention this year. At the same time, the focus shifted away from controversial financial and tax-related scandals and more towards positive reports beneficial to Switzerland’s image, such as the automatic exchange of information in tax matters and blockchain technology. Switzerland’s research achievements and social affairs were other areas that sporadically influenced its image abroad, for the most part positively. Introduction This report by Presence Switzerland sets out the topics that shaped Switzerland’s image in 2018 in the foreign media and on social media — represented in this analysis by the microblogging social networking service Twitter. The first part of the report focuses on the perception of Switzerland on Twitter: when all tweets with the hashtag #Switzerland are analysed, which topics are revealed to have been the most important in 2018? And which were the ten tweets that most influenced the perception of Switzerland, measured by the number of retweets, likes, and comments? The second part of the report analyses coverage of Switzerland in the foreign media.
