The technical report of the Federal government’s “mobile phone and radiation” from a lot of recommendations, from a better Monitoring of health effects to a harmonisation in the implementation. But the Central question is whether the limits should be increased, he presents only a bunch of options. Five in number: a partial reduction of the limits to their increase. The interpretations of the report are correspondingly controversial. To avoid data congestion, would be relaxed to the limits now, calls Asut, the Swiss Association of telecommunications in a media release. Only so within a reasonable period of time could be an area-wide supply of Switzerland with 5G ensured.

FDP-Nationalrat Christian water after falling twice: Without a relaxation of the limits, the introduction of 5G to slow down dramatically and become massively more expensive. He refers also to the warning of the report authors, that the Status quo is a qualitatively good supply of 5G is in 30 years is realistic. This time is a non-traceable statement with the aim of making panic, says Martin, Forter, managing Director of Doctors for the environment (Aefu). The organization is concerned that the report opens the door for a limit increase via the back door.

scepticism in Parliament, is expected to increase

in fact, water demands drop, that Federal councillor Simonetta Sommaruga should now be active. Could you make via amendment to the Ordinance quickly and without any great parliamentary detour. However, two circumstances speak against it, that the Federal Council or Parliament to move in this direction: The Council of States has rejected a year ago, two procedural requests, the requested relaxation of the limits, if only very narrowly.

The newly-elected Parliament has become the left and green, and thus the negative attitude is likely to have increased compared to a limit increase yet. Because SP and Green consider the new technology with great skepticism. “Protection against a possible deterioration of health in the first place,” says SP-national councillor Martina Munz. The report confirms, in their view, this prioritization. There is now time for many electro-sensitive people, and their concerns must be taken seriously. Secondly, the left-wing Federal councillor Sommaruga is yielding hardly the Urging of the economy and of the bourgeois parties and the limit increase.

a number of initiatives pressure

in Contrast, the pressure of the road speaks also. Where a telephone service provider wants to create a new 5G-ready antenna, the formation of resistance. There is a barrage of Objections, coordinated by a specially formed Association. In addition, opponents of the new mobile technology are already collecting signatures. Thus, the mobile liability initiative wants the mobile operators for damage to persons or property which may be caused by radiation from their antennas, need to pay. The “mobile Initiative for a health and power-saving mobile” wants to be acceptable, among other things, that the limits may not be increased.

Three more people’s desires are in planning, such as that of the consumers protection organization Frequencia. The Board of management member Peter Schlegel expects that the report will be explicitly to the expressed increase the limits you play into the hands.
