    People in Switzerland have voted for strict controls on executive pay

    68 per cent backed plans to veto pay-outs to bosses

    bonuses at a year's pay

    Swiss citizens have voted to impose some of the world's strictest controls on executive pay.


    Early returns in a referendum revealed 68 per cent backed plans for shareholders to veto executive pay and for a ban on big rewards for new and departing managers.


    The clear majority came as a surprise given fierce opposition and intense campaigning
    by business lobby group Economiesuisse, which warned the proposals
    will damage the country's competitiveness and scare away international talent.


    Support for the move was sparked by anger over the big bonuses blamed for
    fuelling risky investments that nearly felled Swiss bank
    UBS, as well as outrage over a proposed $78 million payment
    to outgoing Novartis chairman Daniel Vasella.

    Claude Longchamp, of pollsters Gfs.Bern, said the public outcry last month that forced Novartis to cancel Vasella's 'golden goodbye' helped
    drive the campaign.

    'It emotionalised and it mobilised,' he said.

    Thomas Minder, the businessman-turned-politician behind the campaign, says his proposals are aimed at ending a culture of short-termism and rewards for managers of badly-run companies rather than just capping salaries.

    Despite threats from some executives, Switzerland is unlikely to see
    an exodus of big companies who have previously been drawn to the country by low taxes, stable politics and business-friendly laws.


    And companies will seek ways around the
    new rules to reward executives, just as banks in Europe are looking
    to soften the impact of a cap on bonuses for top staff agreed by European politicians on Thursday. 

    The Swiss vote comes as the European Union tries to push through a
    proposal which will mean bankers bonuses will be
    capped at a year's pay and a perk of two years'
    salary could only be paid if a majority of shareholders
    agreed to it.

    Downing Street said Prime Minister David Cameron had ‘real concerns' about the
    plans and warned it must not be allowed to stifle Britain's role as a global banking centre.

    The deal must be signed off by EU governments before coming into force next year but
    Chancellor George Osborne is expected to argue against it at a meeting of European finance ministers next year.


    Boris Johnson joined the chorus of British opposition, branding the
    plans 'deluded' and 'self-defeating'.

    The London Mayor warned it would simply play into
    the hands of the City of London's overseas.

    Mr Osborne is expected to try to block the plans, claiming it would prevent City firms hiring the best staff,
    prompting an exodus of top talent to New York.

    The deal must still be signed-off by EU governments before coming
    into force in 2014 but the UK is struggling to convince other countries it is a bad
    idea.

    If Britain loses its showdown with Brussels, it would mean the most draconian clampdown on fat
    cats' perks since the financial crisis of 2008.


    Swiss companies accounted for five of the top 10 best-paid chairmen in Europe in 2011, but
    only the heads of Novartis and Roche made it into the continent's top
    10 for chief executives.

    While anger at multi-million dollar payouts for executives
    has spread around the globe since the financial crisis, the Swiss system of direct democracy means populist proposals have a
    greater chance of implementation.

    Swiss citizens get to vote on a range of topics in up to four
    national referendums each year.

    A few other countries, including the United States and Germany, have introduced advisory 'say on pay'
    votes in response to anger over inequality and
    corporate excess.


    Britain is also planning to give shareholders
    a binding vote on pay and 'exit payments' at least every three years.




    The near collapse of flagship bank UBS in 2008 stoked anger among Swiss who blamed its heavy losses
    on rewarding bankers to make risky bets

    Thomas Minder's initiative in Switzerland forces binding votes on compensation every year
    as well as on board composition and would also ban bonus payments to
    managers if their companies are taken over.

    The plan also includes possible jail sentences and fines for breaching the new rules.


    While Switzerland has fared relatively well through the financial
    crisis, the near collapse of flagship bank UBS in 2008 stoked anger
    among Swiss who blamed its heavy losses on rewarding bankers to make risky bets.



    Last year, more than one third of UBS shareholders rejected the bank's
    plans for executive pay - including a 4 million franc signing-on fee for
    new German chairman Axel Weber - after a sub-par 2011 profit and
    a $2 billion rogue trading scandal.

    The centre-left Social Democrats are already pushing for another referendum on even tougher curbs on executive pay - they want to limit the annual compensation of top managers to just 12
    times that of their lowest-paid worker.
