With the implementation of the revised Swiss Federal Act on Technical Barriers to Trade (Bundesgesetz über die technischen Handelshemmnisse, herein referred to as the “TBT”) on 1 July 2010, Switzerland unilaterally applied the so-called “Cassis de Dijon Principle”. This principle, based upon a judgment by the European FederalCourt of Justice (ECJ) in 1979, states that products that have been legally produced and marketed in a Member State of the European Union (EU) or in the European Economic Area (EEA) may be sold without any further approval in Switzerland.
