This file concerns a law passed in Switzerland in 2008 which stated that entities like EMBO, with a turnover of over 20 million CHF per annum, must be registered with the Commercial Register of Geneva. This change in EMBO’s legal status was achieved through a two-step ballot procedure of the EMBO General Assembly in 2009.
