Federal Council rejects the popular initiative "Yes to the protection of privacy"
Bern, 26.8.2015 - The Federal Council is recommending that the popular initiative "Yes to the protection of privacy" be rejected and approved the corresponding dispatch for the attention of Parliament during its meeting today. The initiative interferes significantly in tax and prosecution procedures and, as a result, would endanger the accurate levying of federal, cantonal and communal taxes. In addition, the initiative could have a negative impact on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
