On November 28th, 2011, the Conseil d’Etat (French Council of State) ruled that the ban on GMOs established by several ministerial decrees in December 2007 and February 2008 is not valid. The main reason for this decision is the lack of sufficient proof given by the French government that GMOs represent a high threat for public health or the environment. Yet, the French Ministers of Agriculture and Environment declared on January 13th, 2012, that the same probition will be adopted.

Le 28 novembre 2011, le Conseil d’Etat, a décidé que l’interdiction des OGM, établie par plusieurs décrets ministériels et adoptée en décembre 2007 et février 2008, était nulle. La principale raison de cette décision est le manque de preuves suffisantes apportées par le Gouvernement français en ce que les OGM représenteraient un grand danger pour la santé publique ou pour l’environnement. Pourtant, le ministère français de l’agriculture et de l’environnement a déclaré le 13 janvier 2011 que l’interdiction sera adoptée de nouveau.

Before the rules called Basel III shall apply in Switzerland in 2015, the "Département Fédéral de Finance" (Swiss Federal Department of Finance) of the "Conseil Fédéral Suisse" (Swiss Federal Council) has developed a draft of an ordinance that was subject to public consultation on August 28, 2012. Another text will present later rules about systemic banks. The order will be applicable on the 1st January 2013. But banks, like any anticipator market agent, have not already internalized the rules of Basel III ? In addition, it seems that the criterion of systemic continues to be the size of the agent, but it is not so evident.
