  • Switzerland Welcomes Foreign Investment and Accords It National Treatment
    Executive Summary Switzerland welcomes foreign investment and accords it national treatment. Foreign investment is not hampered by significant barriers. The Swiss Federal Government adopts a relaxed attitude of benevolent noninterference towards foreign investment, allowing the 26 cantons to set major policy, and confining itself to creating and maintaining general conditions favorable to both Swiss and foreign investors. Such factors include economic and political stability, a transparent legal system, reliable and extensive infrastructure, efficient capital markets and excellent quality of life in general. Many US firms base their European or regional headquarters in Switzerland, drawn to the country's low corporate tax rates, exceptional infrastructure, and productive and multilingual work force. Switzerland was ranked as the world's most competitive economy according to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report in 2013. The high ranking reflects the country’s sound institutional environment, excellent infrastructure, efficient markets and high levels of technological innovation. Switzerland has a developed infrastructure for scientific research; companies spend generously on R&D; intellectual property protection is generally strong; and the country’s public institutions are transparent and stable. Many of Switzerland's cantons make significant use of fiscal incentives to attract investment to their jurisdictions. Some of the more aggressive cantons have occasionally waived taxes for new firms for up to ten years but this practice has been criticized by the European Union, which has requested the abolition of these practices. Individual income tax rates vary widely across the 26 cantons. Corporate taxes vary depending upon the many different tax incentives. Zurich, which is sometimes used as a reference point for corporate location tax calculations, has a rate of around 25%, which includes municipal, cantonal, and federal tax.

La crise du coronavirus a eu un impact massif sur les transports publics. Au cours de sa session spéciale début mai 2020, le Parlement a été actif et a envoyé une motion demandant au Conseil fédéral, en collaboration avec les cantons et les entreprises de transport, de préparer un projet de loi sur la manière de compenser les pertes de recettes induites par le recul massif de la demande. Le Conseil fédéral a agi rapidement et il a élaboré une proposition sur la compensation des pertes de recettes estimées d'un volume de 800 millions de francs. La proposition a été soumise à consultation. Le secteur des TP fait face à des défis majeurs : nous devons à nouveau convaincre la population de prendre les transports en commun, rétablir la confiance, et prouver qu'ils ne représentent pas un risque, mais bien plutôt une partie de la solution d'une mobilité fiable, efficace et écologique. J'ai été très impressionné par la façon dont les membres de la LITRA et leurs collaborateurs ont géré la crise du coronavirus jusqu'à présent ainsi que par l'engagement exceptionnel dont ils ont fait preuve. Une fois de plus, les personnels ont démontré que les trains, les bus, les bateaux et les remontées mécaniques constituent la colonne vertébrale de notre société mobile.

Dies hatte zur Folge, dass die Flugbesatzung aufgrund des noch zur Ver- fügung stehenden Treibstoffes einen Anflug und eine Landung nach low visibility procedures durchführte, obwohl der Betrieb der Piste 16 auf CAT I beschränkt war. Zum Vorfall beigetragen hat der Umstand, dass die Information nicht übermittelt wurde, dass die Piste 14 für Anflüge und Landungen nach CAT III nicht zur Verfügung stand.

In accordance with Annex 13 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 7 December 1944 and article 24 of the Federal Air Navigation Law, the sole purpose of the investigation of an aircraft accident or serious incident is to prevent future accidents or serious incidents. The legal assessment of accident/incident causes and circumstances is expressly no concern of the accident investigation.

  • Identification of the Technical and Medical Requirements for HEMS
    Kottmann et al. Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine (2018) 26:54 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13049-018-0520-3 ORIGINALRESEARCH Open Access Identification of the technical and medical requirements for HEMS avalanche rescue missions through a 15-year retrospective analysis in a HEMS in Switzerland: a necessary step for quality improvement Alexandre Kottmann1,2* , Pierre-Nicolas Carron1, Lorenz Theiler2,3, Roland Albrecht2, Mario Tissi2 and Mathieu Pasquier1 Abstract Background: Avalanche rescues mostly rely on helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) and include technical rescue and complex medical situations under difficult conditions. The adequacy of avalanche victim management has been shown to be unexpectedly low, suggesting the need for quality improvement. We analyse the technical rescue and medical competency requirements of HEMS crewmembers for avalanche rescue missions, as well as their clinical exposure. The study aims to identify areas that should be the focus of future quality improvement efforts. Methods: This 15-year retrospective study of avalanche rescue by the Swiss HEMS Rega includes all missions where at least one patient had been caught by an avalanche, found within 24 h of the alarm being raised, and transported. Results: Our analyses included 422 missions (596 patients). Crews were frequently confronted with technical rescue aspects, including winching (29%) and patient location and extrication (48%), as well as multiple casualty accidents (32%). Forty-seven percent of the patients suffered potential or overt vital threat; 29% were in cardiac arrest. The on-site medical management of the victims required a large array of basic and advanced medical skills. Clinical exposure was low, as 56% of the physicians were involved in only one avalanche rescue mission over the study period.
