Swissmem (Verband der Schweizer Maschinen-, Elektro- und Metallindustrie, German)

Basically export to everyone except Ukraine. The Re-export regulation will be removed, with the federal council retaining a Veto … which they probably will only use when its about Ukraine.

An argument from the counter campaign is, that if they had wanted to help Ukraine, like they claimed at the beginning of the revision, they could have just changed small details.

Especially lifting restrictions for the US, Hungary and Argentina but not Ukraine is insane to me.

“Another point of criticism raised by opponents is that even with the reform, it would still be prohibited to supply weapons to Ukraine. If, for example, Germany wanted to purchase war material from Switzerland in the future and it was already clear that this material would subsequently be delivered to Ukraine or another country at war at that time, the Federal Council would have to intervene.”

Only source I found quickly, and from 2025-12-04, so I’m not sure how up to date it really is.
