It shall limit the period of validity of the ordinance appropriately; the period of validity may not exceed four years.
It may extend the period of validity once. In this case, the ordinance ceases to apply six months after the beginning of the extension if the Federal Council fails to present the Federal Assembly with a bill establishing a legal basis for the content of the ordinance.
The ordinance ceases to apply:
if the bill mentioned in paragraph 3 is rejected by the Federal Assembly; or
at the latest with introduction of the legal basis provided for in paragraph 3.
