Media New counter-proposal to the SRG halving initiative launched
Companies are to be completely exempt from the media fee until 2035. Households should continue to pay CHF 335 per year. This is what the responsible National Council committee is calling for in its newly outlined counter-proposal to the SRG halving initiative.

By 13 votes to 11 with one abstention, the National Council's Committee for Transport and Telecommunications (KVF-N) has adopted a new proposal on how to counter the popular initiative "200 francs is enough (SRG initiative or halving initiative)". This was announced by the parliamentary services on Tuesday.
A first attempt at a counter-proposal, which wanted to go further, failed in the responsible Council of States committee. The National Council committee is now trying to get a majority on board with a watered-down version - and to persuade the initiative committee to withdraw the petition for a referendum.
The planned law is intended to replace the Federal Council's amendment to the ordinance, which, among other things, provides for a reduction in fees for households from the current CHF 335 to CHF 300.
