Fortunately Switzerland is NOT part of the European Union, even though
it seems there are a lot of influences and political pulls....

Sorry for dragging you into some of the other European folks policy chats...

(But I've been expecting a decision of this sort out of the EU, and other pan-european
nations for about 2-3 years).

This looks a bit more limited than I originally thought, it seems (unless I'm misreading it)
the issue has more to do with disclosure (to end-user) that they were being investigated.

(similar to having your home be searched by police when you are not around and them
not leaving a copy of the warrant, nor any hints your home has been searched).
