Very nice! And so nice that they actually suggest a reasonable, liveable amount rather than an offensive pittance.

...the country's productivity and international competitiveness

Come on, how can Switzerland be productive or internationally competitive?  Its cost structure is like 50 times China's.

... there is no muezzin who calls people to prayer.
