 The Clottu-Report, commissioned by the Federal Department of Home Affairs and published in the same year, inventoried Switzerland’s cultural tools and assets and presented proposals for a cultural policy.The report recommended the creation of a new article in the constitution to define the authority of the federal government in the cultural domain.However, it was not until 1999, after a series of difficult referendums and in the context of the total revision of the Federal Constitution that the role of the federal government in arts and culture was inscribed in the constitution (Art 69 FC).
