Does the extension of the nuclear power plant operation require the agreement of the Federal Council?

Description

It is violently disputed whether an extension of the nuclear power plant operation related to energy policy is meaningful, impedes or accelerates the reconstruction of the power supply. Depending upon the situation of political interest also the constitutional question is exploited whether a law for the increase of the residual power generation of the Supplement 3 of the Atomic Energy Act requires the agreement of the Federal Council. The answer to this question should not be determined from the personal opinion on the nuclear power. The answer should be examined and decided on the basis of constitutional requirements. This is done in this contribution under consideration of expertises and statements.
