Our website: new design, familiar content

We have switched to the Federal Administration's new publishing system. The content and navigation structure remain largely unchanged. The design is new, and the previous “Documentation” section has been removed – documents can be found directly under the relevant topics. The change of publishing system means that links to our website will have to be updated by the end of 2026.

What has changed?

We have switched to the new central publishing system of the Federal Administration. As a result, you will benefit from the following new features:

• Uniform, modern design – our site now has the same look and feel as all other federal websites.
• Documents are easier to find – the separate “Documentation” section has been removed. All documents (regulations, factsheets, forms, etc.) can now be found directly under the relevant topic. For example, FOCBS regulations can now be found under “The FOCBS” → “Legal basis”.

Important note on links: the URLs for pages and documents have changed as a result of the move to the new system. We are currently redirecting you automatically from the old addresses. However, these redirects are only temporary. Please update your links and bookmarks in the course of 2026.
