Key legal question
Whether the motion could require immediate release of credits for the N13 as a binding motion.
Extracted holding
The proposal could not be accepted as a motion because it sought to influence an administrative/project-genehmigung matter reserved to the competent authorities; it was only admissible as a postulate.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 31 of the National Council’s Rules of Procedure, a motion may not aim at intervening in a legally regulated administrative act or appeal decision, nor request its later alteration. The project approval and construction programme for national roads lie with the Federal Council or the Department of the Interior in a delegated regulatory sphere, where binding instructions by motion are impermissible.
