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).
