This was the only way to ensure that the timetable could be adhered to. With the current proposal, the Federal Council is now asking the Federal Assembly for authorisation to ratify the two agreements.

This solution takes into account the latest developments in Singapore and Hong Kong and would allow the AIA to be implemented on a multilateral basis.
