瑞士曾考虑过将影响力交易定为刑事犯罪，但最终决定反对这一做法，宁愿惩罚《公约》中关于主动和被动受贿规定所涵盖的行为，尽管这些行为似乎并没有涵盖影响力交易的所有情况。瑞士表示打算重新考虑直接将影响力交易定为刑事犯罪，这种做法应受到鼓励。
Switzerland has considered criminalizing trading in influence but eventually decided against this option, preferring to punish the acts covered by the Convention under the provisions on active and passive bribery, although these seem not to cover all cases of trading in influence. Switzerland has expressed its intention of reconsidering the possibility of criminalizing trading in influence directly and should be encouraged to do so.
