Division of tasks between Switzerland and the cantons: halt to the project<\/h1>\n

COVID halts adjustment of responsibilities for individual premiums, supplementary OASI\/DI benefits, regional passenger traffic and railway facilities<\/h3>\n

In January 2020, the federal government and the cantons embarked on a comprehensive project to review the division of labor.
\nThe crisis due to COVID-19 led to a deferral of policy priorities shortly after the project began.
\nAs a result, the Federal Council and the Conference of Cantonal Governments (CoC) decided to suspend the “Division of Tasks II” project.<\/p>\n

Toward a mandate adjustment?<\/h3>\n

A decision on a resumption and possible adjustment of the mandate will be made by mid-2023.
\nIn June 2019, the Federal Council and the plenary assembly of the CoC approved the mandate for the project “Allocation of tasks II”.<\/p>\n

The aim is to review the division of shared tasks, i.e. tasks that are jointly undertaken and financed by the Confederation and the cantons, and to decentralise responsibility for the performance and financing of state tasks.
\nThe task areas of individual premium reductions, supplementary benefits to AHV\/IV, regional passenger traffic and the Railway Infrastructure Fund are being reviewed. The operational work in the various working groups began in January 2020.<\/p>\n

The onset of the coronavirus crisis in March 2020 quickly set new priorities for the Confederation and the cantons.
\nAt the Federalist Dialogue on November 6, 2020, the delegations of the Federal Council and the CoC therefore decided to temporarily suspend work on the project.<\/p>\n

Possible resumption from mid-2022<\/h3>\n

It is likely that the Federal Department of Finance (FDF) will examine with the CoC from mid-2022 whether and how the project can be resumed. A decision will be made by mid-2023.
\nIn the event of a resumption, the objective of the project will be examined: The developments in the existing task areas will be taken into account and it will be checked whether other task areas should be included in the project.<\/p>\n
