Official Gazette of the Canton of Aargau is now an online free newspaper
Aargau is the first canton to publish its traditional official gazette exclusively in electronic form on the Internet. The online edition, which includes news such as calls for construction bids and requests for parking restrictions, as well as legal texts, was not published in print for the first time on Friday.
Visually, the Official Gazette of the Canton of Aargau as before. It is available as a PDF edition on the Internet every Friday. Publication fees will be reduced by around 20 percent, as announced by the State Chancellery on Friday. The certified circulation of the official gazette in A4 format recently amounted to just under 3,500 copies. Among other things, the municipalities were obliged to subscribe to the gazette at an annual price of CHF 95.
The cantons of Zurich, Basel-Land and Solothurn are planning to issue legally binding official publications in electronic form only. The Principality of Liechtenstein also intends to introduce the electronic Official Gazette. The Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (SOGC) is published in printed and electronic form. Since 2006, however, the electronic version has been definitive. (SDA)
