After intensive discussion, the Swiss Council of States has spoken out against an increase
of the limit values for mobile phone base stations. The National Council wanted the Council
of States to revise the Ordinance on the Protection from Non-Ionizing Radiation because the
current conditions were too restrictive from its point of view. However, the Council of States
rejected the revision by 20 votes to 19 with 3 abstentions, thus maintaining the current limits.
