Published verdict
Delete

The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance imposes mandatory consumer labeling for fur and fur products sold to consumers: sellers must mark items as real fur, identify the animal species by scientific and zoological name, state the fur’s origin, and specify the method of obtaining it, including whether it comes from hunting or forms of keeping not permitted in Switzerland. It also mandates visible labeling on the product, requires sellers to maintain systems for compliance, empowers the federal authority to inspect shops and documents, and provides for corrective orders, fees, and penalties for violations.

Verdict reason
This is a niche consumer-information mandate enforced through labeling micromanagement, record-keeping duties, inspections, and sanctions. The ordinance piles compliance costs onto traders and retailers while prescribing highly specific disclosures that markets, voluntary certification, and ordinary product description can supply without coercive federal control.
