​The Federal Office for Transport (FOT) directs and oversees the planning and development of railway infrastructure projects in an efficient manner, but partially adequate. Specifically, the FOT does not ensure that budgeted costs are adhered to. Overall, cooperation between the FOT and the infrastructure managers (IMs) responsible for the expansion is expedient. The involvement of the cantons and communes is only partially adequate.​​​​​​

Overall, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) deals appropriately with Swiss honorary consulates abroad. The honorary consulates generally provide added value. The FDFA regards its responsibility towards foreign honorary consulates in Switzerland as very limited and takes a restrained approach in dealings with them.​​

In principle, the system of non-permanent judges in the federal courts is expedient. Although it improves the efficiency of judicial decision-making, it quickly encounters limitations. The courts deal appropriately with the risks the system poses to independence and consistency within the judiciary. The non-permanent judge system could also be used in the Federal Administrative Court under certain conditions.​​
