A parliamentary committee is recommending allowing Swiss arms to be re-exported to another country, such as Ukraine.
Under current rules – any country which buys Swiss weapons can’t resell or donate them to a third country unless Bern allows them to.
Permission has already been denied to Germany and Spain.
But the House of Representatives Security Policy Committee says Switzerland needs to make a contribution to European security.
The government is under increasing international pressure to change the rules.
The committee says allowing the re-export would not violate neutrality since the weapons would be sent from another country.
