Amendments to the Legal Framework
In addition to our policy resolutions, two amendments to the legal framework of the association were adopted:
Factual corrections:
Information presented inaccurately during the debate on a motion can now be corrected immediately by means of a ‘factual correction’, as is also possible in Parliament, for example.
Open run-off vote under the Alex Müller procedure:
If, under the Alex Müller procedure, two or more proposals receive the same number of points, an open run-off vote takes place. From now on, this vote will no longer have a specific name.
Liquidity reserve:
The provisions regarding the requirement for a liquidity reserve in the context of the investment of the association’s assets have been clarified somewhat.
