Guy Parmelin was asked how they will check who does not adhere to the 19 degree temperature. In his reply, the Federal Economy Minister confirmed that the police will not break down anyone's door, but there will be random inspections. The Swiss newspaper also writes that the authorities can also act on the basis of reports from the public, Vasárnap.hu wrote based on Ma7.sk.

Markus Spörndli, a spokesman for the Ministry of Economy, Education and Research, is confident that the majority of the population will obey the law. The cantons have until September 22 to add proposals to the plans. It was pointed out that there are many gray areas in connection with the new regulation, for example, it is not always possible to clearly determine what is included in the concept of an unused building.
