The regulators spent the week amending annexes nobody reads past the title, while two actual court rulings did more work than all the sanctions paperwork combined.

SECO revises the ISIL/Al-Qaida sanctions list for the third time since April

FINMA News

SR 946.231.08 gets another name-level amendment, the third since the April 1 update. Each revision runs on the UNO 1267 track, which means the names bind in Switzerland the moment the Sanctions Committee lists them — no Brussels lag, no domestic implementing act to wait for, as we laid out when this annex last moved. If your screening vendor batches these updates weekly instead of on publication, you're running a live gap, not a theoretical one.

Prognose: Watch for a fourth revision before September — SECO has averaged one every six to eight weeks this year.

Why pro-business Switzerland is still weighing a foreign investment screen

Swissinfo Business & Law (en)

Swissinfo is still asking the "why" question; we've moved past it. The Investitionsprüfgesetz was marketed as light-touch and turned into a real condition-precedent risk in the parliamentary text. Pair this with the cobalt/CSDDD item above and you get the same pattern twice in one week: Swiss law arriving late to formalise scrutiny that deal counsel is already pricing in.

Prognose: Expect the "light touch" framing to keep slipping every time a deal actually gets referred for review — by year end the term sheet clause won't be optional.

Four annexes moved and nobody but the cats noticed — see you tomorrow, once Casimir and Servatius have filed today's six.
