The federal Council assigns to Swisscom AG of the strategic objectives for the years 2014-2017

The Confederation is principal shareholder of Swisscom AG. The federal Council therefore defines four-year strategic objectives to drive the company. It is committed, as owner, to carry out a clear and predictable policy towards the company, the public and other investors.Given the conclusive experiences in the past, the federal Council has maintained general orientation and the outline of its strategy of owner for the years 2014-2017. However, he proceeded to ad hoc adaptations based on the recent developments of the company and the markets. The objective assigned specifically to the 'Swisscom IT Services' subsidiary has thus deleted because it will be integrated into the Swisscom unit responsible for large companies. Moreover, following a recommendation of the Board of management of the national Council, the structure and the formulation of the objectives have been pruned and simplified. The new strategic objectives assigned to Swisscom AG will be valid from the beginning of the next fiscal year until end of 2017.DETEC, press Service, Palace federal Nord, 3003 Bern, + 41 31 322 55 11Council Federalinternet: http://www.admin.ch/br/index.html?lang=frSecr secretariat general DETECInternet: http://www.uvek.admin.ch/index.html?lang=fr
