REPORT – Packaging counts on the scale
Since January, self-service scales from Coop and Migros have asked you to indicate the type of packaging used when weighing fruit and vegetables. This modification meets the new legal requirements prohibiting the inclusion of the weight of the packaging in that of the weighed products.
The decision was made by the Federal Metrology Institute METAS – the federal competence center for all matters relating to metrology, measuring instruments and measuring methods. Before that, it tolerated a plastic bag of two grams in the weight of the goods. In 2025, it’s over. “This modification ensures that only the net weight of the goods is weighed and invoiced to the customer,” he emphasizes.

INTERVIEW – a fierce fight against sexual violence
Instrumentalized in conflicts, sexual violence is particularly destructive. Guest in Forum, Denis Mukwege, human rights activist and 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner, calls for international mobilization to break impunity and support victims around the world.
“Unfortunately, in all conflicts, we observe the use of rape as a weapon of war. It is an inexpensive, terribly effective weapon, which destroys not only the victim, but also those around her: children, spouses, relatives who witness these atrocities”, deplores gynecologist and human rights defender Denis Mukwege.
