Freedom of Information Act: The FDPIC publishes his recommendations on takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS
29.11.2023 - Following the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS, several applications for access to information were submitted to the General Secretariat of the Federal Department of Finance (GS-FDF) and the State Secretariat for International Financial Matters (SIF). Following the refusal of access, the FDPIC received requests for mediation of varying content. Insofar as the documents fall within the scope of the Freedom of Information Act, the FDPIC recommends the deferral of access until the Parliamentary Investigation Commission PInC has completed its work if their disclosure could significantly harm the free opinion-forming and decision-making process of the PInC.
