The Federal Council shall mandate the organisation responsible for the national economic supply (National Economic Supply) to take preparatory measures to guarantee the national economic supply in the event of imminent or already existing serious shortages.1
The preparatory measures must not distort competition.2
The Federal Council is responsible for coordination between the departments. The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (EAER) has overall responsibility.
If the voluntary measures taken by the private sector are insufficient, the Federal Council may require companies that are of particular importance to the national economic supply to ensure that they are in a position to continue production, processing and delivery, and in particular to have technical and administrative measures in place.
The foregoing applies without prejudice to the activities of other public authorities to ensure the supply of essential goods and services.
