The National Council approved a motion from the Council of States to this effect on Thursday, by a vote of 129 to 61. (…) Every year, more than 700 French-Swiss dual nationals avoid their military obligations in Switzerland by performing just one day of service in France. This day should no longer be recognized as equivalent, stressed Isabelle Chappuis (Centre/VD) on behalf of the commission. The Federal Council has already announced its intention to begin negotiations with France so that the “Defense and Citizenship Day” is no longer recognized as equivalent to military service in Switzerland, stated Defense Minister Martin Pfister.
