On 22 June 1977 a Co-Production Agreement was signed between France and Switzerland. It entered into force on 20 September 1978. Now in summer 2004, a new Agreement is being discussed.

The 1977 Agreement applies to cinematographic works of any length, made by one or more French producers in conjunction with one or more Swiss producers. Third country producers may join the co-production, if their country is linked to France or Switzerland by a films co-production agreement.

Financial contribution shall be at least 20%.
