On May 14, 2012, the Switzerland postal regulator published a critical report on the current regulation of the Swiss postal sector, believing that there is not that few competitors to the incumbent operator and that consumers are under-informed. The regulator, in its last report, placed its hopes for the new system that the legislation was implemented. It will come into force on the 1st October 2012, the text having provided for the installation of the new regulator: the "Commission de la Poste". Later, in 2013, the "Poste Suisse" (Swiss Post) will become a limited company, public company whose capital will be mainly controlled by the Swiss Confederation.

Conversely, its banking subsidiary, PostFinance, will become a subsidiary of private law which shares will be placed on the financial market. In this perspective, the "Conseil fédéral Suisse " (Swiss Federal Council) decided on August 28, 2012 to appoint the members of the Board of Directors of the "Poste Suisse" (Swiss Post) for the year 2013-2014. But it is the same people who administered the public bodythat previously have been designated. Similarly, the Federal Council appointed as President Peter Hasler, who is the current president of the Swiss Post.

We recall that in the organization of the PostCom already established, it is true that the President is a former "Conseiller d’Etat" (State Councilor), and the charge of Vice Presidency has been entrusted to the former CEO of General Swiss Post.
