Bern, 27.09.2024 – At its meeting on 27 September 2024, the Federal Council approved the signing of the agreement on the rectification of the border between Switzerland and Italy.
In the high mountains, significant sections of the Italian-Swiss border are determined by the watershed represented by the crest line of glaciers, snowfields and eternal snow. However, with the melting of the glaciers, these natural elements evolve and redefine the national border when it is defined dynamically.
Proposal of the Joint Commission for the maintenance of the Italian-Swiss border
Faced with the mutual desire of Switzerland and Italy to rectify the border in the region of Tête Grise / Plateau Rosa, Cabane Carrel and Dos de Rollin, the joint commission for the maintenance of the Italian-Swiss border agreed, in May 2023, on a draft agreement on the rectification of the border between the two countries, in accordance with the economic interests of both parties.
Approval of the agreement
Since this is a minor border rectification within the meaning of Art. 24, para. 1 of the Geoinformation Act, the Federal Council is authorised to conclude this agreement alone. It has therefore approved the signing of the agreement between Switzerland and Italy on border rectification.
The process for the approval of the signing of the agreement is underway in Italy. After signature by both parties, the agreement will be published and the rectification will be implemented.
