In Switzerland, the Business Enterprise sector comprises private enterprises only. Public enterprises are included in the Government sector. From 2000, the Government sector no longer includes the telecommunications companies that have been privatised (Swisscom). From 2017 onwards, GBARD data are derived from a funder-based approach (performer-based approach before 2017). The Swiss contribution to the European Space Agency is allocated to the space objective in GBARD as of 2006, while it was before included in non-oriented research programmes. From 1998, the Federal Office of Agriculture and its research institutes no longer break down their R&D by socio-economic objective but group all under 'Agriculture'. For GBARD this results in a break in series for both Agriculture and Health objectives, where half of the funds previously declared under Health are now declared under Agriculture. Also in 1998, the telecommunications field of the Federal Post office has become the private enterprise Swisscom which is no longer included under the Infrastructure objective in GBARD. Before 1994, GBARD did not include the public sector financed R&D mandates.
