news chief Jean-Philip Gaudin is aiming high. For a whopping 63 million Swiss francs in price and annual operating contributions of 1.5 million admission he wants to dock with its service of a French spy satellite in the latest Generation. High resolution images of Switzerland, to carriers worldwide the discovery and identification of aircraft, Jets, tanks and artillery. Gaudins analysts to pursue military action and troops can watch parades.
With all due respect: So interesting, these tasks may be for analysts of the news service, so questionable, the resulting security is a win for Switzerland. All the Major and regional powers have the appropriate skills. Where the safety should be relevant to the niche for the neutral small state, does not reveal itself to the exact viewer.
Rather, Gaudin with the Blow of his plans caught doing that as he wants to invest millions in technology, instead of closing in the area of personnel capability gaps. These gaps consist of news-gathering by trained personnel. By the Directorate for international law, out coated neutrality of the legal problems that went with the part-financing of the French satellite is associated to only one conclusion: The defence Minister must whistle back to Gaudin.
A pale light on the matter, but not only on the Swiss chief spy. To investigate the role of the Head of the Directorate for international law and justice. It seems almost incredible, when these reasons, the VBS from Neutrality advises against it, a single payment of 63 million in France. In order to prevent negative reactions of the international community towards the neutral Switzerland, was a piece of the amount in ten instalments. The recommendation of the legal Advisor to the FDFA, Gaudins Plan under the Radar of the international perception of the exam smuggling, is not that of neutrality and legal reliability that is expected from Switzerland.
