The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance implements a declaration-and-verification regime for service providers in regulated professions. It requires prior online filing plus signed postal submission, extensive personal data, supporting documents on nationality, establishment, qualifications, insurance and in some cases criminal-record status, annual renewal and updates, data retention for ten years, routing through the SBFI and competent authorities, qualification checks, possible aptitude tests, rules on professional titles, and fines for non-compliance.

Verdict reason
This is a classic market-entry barrier dressed up as administrative order. The ordinance multiplies filing, certification, renewal, data-processing and title-control requirements, even combining online submission with signed postal paperwork and annual re-notification. It centralizes gatekeeping in the SBFI and other authorities, delays service provision through ex ante verification and aptitude testing, and criminalizes non-compliance. The text itself shows a lighter alternative for professions without public health or safety effects, which undercuts the case for such a broad regime. The burden on cross-border supply, competition, and consumer choice outweighs the administrative case for keeping it.
