After the first round of consultations had been a waiting period of twelve months in the case of a transfer from the army the only contentious point. The national Council had rejected in December, the deadline at the request of the Left. A red-green minority wanted to hold on Thursday, still working on it, but lost.

The rest of the Swiss Federal Council’s proposed measures, the councils had agreed to before the course. Background to the amendments, the concern with the stocks of the army. The interest in the civil service increased with the abolition of the examination of conscience in 2009, by leaps and bounds. Recently, the Trend was on the decline.

The civil service should take – as it is today – one and a half times as long as the military service, however, a minimum of 150 days of Service. Today, already done the military will be credited with days of service. The minimum number of extended the service time for those who switch from the first repetition rate.

The last word of the innovations is likely to have the voting public. The civil service Association Civiva, the group for Switzerland without an army (Gsoa), the Green party and the SP have already announced a Referendum. The GLP will support this, like Flat said. The civil service act is ready for the final votes.
