All contents of this website -- including texts, compilations, analyses, structuring, tables, graphics and the editorial selection and arrangement of information -- are copyrighted works within the meaning of the Federal Act on Copyright and Related Rights (URG, SR 231.1).
The systematic compilation, preparation and critical contextualisation of publicly accessible sources constitutes an independent creative achievement that enjoys copyright protection independently of the protection of the individual sources (Art. 4 URG -- collected works).
Without the express written consent of the author, any exploitation beyond the narrow limits of the right of quotation (Art. 25 URG) and personal use (Art. 19 URG) is prohibited. In particular, the following are prohibited:
Violations will be pursued under civil and criminal law (Art. 67 ff. URG).
Quotations from this wiki are permissible within the scope of Art. 25 URG, provided the source is correctly cited:

The contents of this wiki have been compiled with the greatest care and to the best of our knowledge and belief. All information is based exclusively on publicly accessible sources that are referenced in the text. The author assumes no liability whatsoever for:
The contents serve exclusively for public information dissemination and political opinion-forming. They do not constitute legal, political, economic or other professional advice. Specialist advice should always be sought for specific decisions.
The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete parts of the pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.
This wiki contains links to third-party websites (external links). These websites are subject to the liability of their respective operators. When first linked, the external content was checked for possible legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent.
Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation (BGE 136 III 296). Upon becoming aware of legal violations, affected links will be removed immediately.
The mere linking does not constitute approval, recommendation or adoption of the linked content.
This wiki is operated privately and independently. There is no connection, no mandate and no funding from:
The contents of this wiki are protected by freedom of expression and information (Art. 16 Federal Constitution) and media freedom (Art. 17 Federal Constitution). The fact-based examination of the Bilateral Agreements III -- a treaty package that will shape Switzerland's relations with the European Union for decades -- is in the overriding public interest (Art. 28 para. 2 ZGB).
The right of quotation (Art. 25 URG) and the public interest in the transparent presentation of political processes and their effects justify the use and analytical contextualisation of the referenced sources.
The naming of public figures (Federal Councillors, parliamentarians, EU commissioners, association representatives) occurs exclusively in connection with their public conduct of office and public statements. A violation of privacy (Art. 28 ZGB) is thereby excluded, insofar as the presentation is factual and in the public interest.
Affected persons may contact the author with legitimate concerns.
