The Federal Government
The Swiss federal government publishes three principal official publications, listed below. They have several things in common:
They are published by the Federal Chancellery of Switzerland in the form of weekly supplements to loose leaf binders. Since 1999, they are also made available on the Internet in PDF format (as well as HTML in the case of the SR/RS).
All publications are issued in the three official languages of Switzerland: German, French and Italian. All three language editions are equally valid.
As statutory text is not copyrighted in Switzerland, several legal research database providers are reusing the text of the official publications in their value-added online services.
