The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF has amended Annex 7 to the Ordinance of 8. June 2012 on measures against Syria (SR 946.231.172.7).
On the 15th On 1 June 2026, the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research WBF changed the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The WBF has therefore adapted the SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management) database, which is relevant for Switzerland, and published the adjustment on its website. The measures take effect on 16. June 2026 at 11 p.m.
In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, financial intermediaries are required to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the business relationships concerned to SECO. The report to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 GwG and, if he cannot clear them, to report it immediately to the notification office for money laundering in accordance with Art. 9 GwG.
