    First sentence used because it says more than the actual title.

    Original title:

    >Swissness – Only those who present invoices from Switzerland may use the term “Swiss”

    >Switzerland is successfully fighting against the misuse of the term “Swiss”. “Swiss” products sell better – and at higher prices.

  2. We should go further and ban Swiss companies from using it if they have less than 80 or 90 percent of Swiss employees based in Switzerland, without exception for subsidiaries.
