Interim
report on the gold transactions - Postponement of media briefing
At its meeting in Montreux (17-20 March
1998) the Independent Commission of Experts: Switzerland - Second World
War finalized and approved the interim report "Switzerland and gold
transactions in the Second World War" with a view to publishing it
in the German original on 6 April 1998.
However, at the explicit request of the
Federal Council, the report has to be simultaneously published in all
official Swiss languages (German, French, Italian) and in English.
The translations of a document of over 200
pages plus some annexes will take some time. Under these circumstances,
the Commission feels itself obliged to postpone the Press Conference of
6 April 1998 to a later date.
