Federal Act on Cartels and other Restraints of Competition

¹ If in im­ple­ment­ing an in­ter­na­tion­al agree­ment, it is found that a re­straint of com­pet­i­tion is in­com­pat­ible with that agree­ment, the EAER may in con­sulta­tion with the Fed­er­al De­part­ment of For­eign Af­fairs pro­pose an am­ic­able set­tle­ment to the parties in­volved so as to elim­in­ate the in­com­pat­ib­il­ity.

² If an am­ic­able set­tle­ment can­not be reached in time and one party to the agree­ment threatens to take pro­tect­ive meas­ures against Switzer­land, the EAER may in con­sulta­tion with the Fed­er­al De­part­ment of For­eign Af­fairs de­term­ine the meas­ures ne­ces­sary to elim­in­ate the re­straint of com­pet­i­tion in a rul­ing.
