On 6 June 1984 a Co-Production Agreement has been signed between Germany and Switzerland. It entered into force on 28 February 1986.
Those involved in the making of the film must be Swiss/residents in Switzerland, and Germans/residents in Germany respectively. Producers from third countries can join the co-production, if their country is linked to Germany or Switzerland by a films co-production agreement.
Financial contribution of a co-producer shall generally be at least 30% (in the case of multilateral co-productions or as an exception, 20% are the minimum).
