LAW

This Act has the aim of ensuring that geodata relating to the

territory of the Swiss Confederation is made available for

general use to the authorities of the Confederation, the

cantons and communes, the private sector, the public

and to academic and scientific institutions in a

sustainable, up-to-date, rapid and easy manner, in the

required quality and at a reasonable cost.
