France switches to e-invoicing — what it means for Swiss businesses
Electronic invoicing becomes mandatory in France on 1 September 2026. For Swiss companies everything hinges on one question: do you have a permanent establishment there or not?
The deadline that did not come — and the obligations that apply anyway
Six days before 2 August 2026, the EU postponed the high-risk obligations of its AI Act. Three obligations are not affected, however — one of them fell due on precisely that day.
One day, two pieces of news
Claude Opus 5 appears on 24 July 2026 — and on the same day the EU's Official Journal carries the regulation that postpones the big AI deadline by sixteen months.
A model that was announced and did not arrive
June brings three new models. The more interesting one is one that did not arrive: Gemini 3.5 Pro was announced in May for «next month» — and has still not appeared.
Finally adopted — with five weeks to spare
Parliament votes in favour on 16 June, the Council on 29 June. That settles the postponement of the AI obligations — a good five weeks before the deadline it removes.
The agreement stands — and the list of prohibitions stays as it is
In May, the decision on postponing the AI obligations is taken. In the same month, the EU examines for the first time whether its list of prohibited AI practices needs changing. The answer: no.
Two models, one failed conversation
April brings Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5. On 28 April, the second attempt in Brussels to postpone the AI Act deadlines fails — even though everyone involved wants the same thing.
Both chambers say yes — and emphatically so
In March 2026, the Council and Parliament set out their positions on postponing the AI obligations. Parliament votes 569 to 45 — an unusual result for a contested digital file.
Four models in fourteen days
Between 5 and 19 February 2026, four large models from three manufacturers appear — two of them on the same day. The densest stretch this review knows.
«The FADP applies to AI — already today»
While Europe argues about the deadlines of its AI Act, the situation in Switzerland has been settled for years: as soon as personal data is involved, the Data Protection Act applies. With no transition period.
And another one: three top models in four weeks
GPT-5.2 appears on 11 December 2025, Gemini 3 Flash six days later. Together with November, that makes three large models in four weeks — from three different houses.
Two top models in six days
Google presents Gemini 3 Pro on 18 November, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5 on 24 November. Six days between two models, both announced as the best their house has to offer.
The EU shifts into reverse
On 19 November 2025, the European Commission proposes postponing the central obligations of its own AI Act — a year and a half before they were due to take effect.
