Welcome
to the Canton
of Jura
Every year around 1500 persons choose to
u settle in the canton of Jura.
If you are one of them – or if you are on the point of choosing to do so – we would like right away to
congratulate you on your decision and wish you a warm welcome to our canton.
Your choice honours us, and also places a big responsibility on the Jurassic community. We feel it is up
to us to welcome you appropriately and do all we can to ensure that you feel at home here.
In a nutshell, we want to help you settle in as harmoniously as possible.
We have tried to keep this website practical and succinct. It also exists in the form of a printed brochure.
We have aimed to provide you with all the information you need about daily life in the canton of Jura.
In particular, you will find here valuable information about schools, crèches, hospitals, the times when
shops are open and opportunities to take part in sporting and cultural activities in the region. The main
administrative formalities which you are required to carry out are explained here as well, with a view to
making it easier for you to settle in.
Each section has been originally written in French, which is the official language of the canton of Jura,
and then translated into German, Italian, Spanish and English.
The canton of Jura has always been welcoming and hospitable to people moving to the region. Since
its creation in 1979, it has been the first Swiss canton to extend rights of citizenship to foreigners who
have been resident in the canton for ten years or more. The cantonal authorities now wish to go a step
further by giving concrete help and advice to people choosing to move to the region.
Thank you for having chosen our canton, and welcome to the Jura!

Welcome to the Jura
Geographical
situation
History of the Republic
and Canton of Jura
g 1815: Congress of Vienna
Following the collapse of the Napoleonic
empire, the former Diocese of Basle is
awarded to ‘their Excellencies’ of Berne,
with a view to compensating them for the
loss of the regions of Vaud and Argovia.
Surface area
838 km2
g 1947: the Moeckli affair
The Grand Council of Berne refuses to
entrust the department of public works
to Georges Moeckli, a native of the Jura,
on the grounds that such an important
department should not be given to a
French-speaking Swiss. The outrage of
the inhabitants of the Jura leads to the
establishment of a separatist movement
pressing for an independent Jura.
Number of municipalities (‘communes’)
64 communes
g 1950: the Jurassic Assembly
The separatist movement becomes the
Jurassic Assembly and an organised
campaign is launched, headed by men like
Roland Béguelin and Roger Schaffter.
g 1974: creation of the Canton of Jura
In a plebiscite of 23 June 1974, the
Jurassic people of the seven districts cast
a majority vote in favour of the creation
of the Canton of Jura. In 1975 the three
southern districts (Moutier, Courtelary
and La Neuveville) opt to remain part of
the Canton of Berne. Laufon once more
becomes part of the Canton of BâleCampagne in 1994, and the village of
Vellerat switches from Berne to the Jura
(1996).
On 24 September 1978 the people of
Switzerland and all the cantons accept the
Republic and Canton of Jura as part of
the Swiss Confederation. The new canton,
consisting of three districts (Delémont,
Porrentruy and Franches-Montagnes),
becomes a sovereign entity on 1 January
1979.
g 1994: creation of the AIJ
As the Jurassic question remains open
in the three districts that are still part
of Berne, the federal, Bernese and
Jurassic authorities set up the Assemblée
interjurassienne (AIJ) [Interjurassic
Assembly] for the purpose of regulating
the affairs of the region.
Population
70,000 inhabitants
Population density
82 persons to the square kilometre
Number of districts
3 districts (Delémont, Porrentruy
and Franches-Montagnes)
Variety of landscape
Contrary to certain received ideas, the Jura is not a mountainous canton. While
Franches-Montagnes is located at an effective height of 1,000 metres, the Delémont and Porrentruy districts are situated in level country and enjoy a very mild
climate. In these regions of plains and hills, verdant pastures alternate with the
cultivation of cereal crops and orchards of fruit trees, notable for producing the
famous Damassine plum. You will also find a fair number of vineyards.
On the high plateau of the Franches-Montagnes district, wild horses, majestic
pine trees and farmhouses with wide and sweeping roofs create a landscape
that is typical of the region and unique to Switzerland.
Altitude
The lowest point in the Jura is situated at Boncourt (364 m); the highest is at
Raimeux (1302 m).
Frontiers
121 km of frontiers with France, 111 km of frontiers with the adjoining Swiss
cantons (Bâle-Campagne, Soleure, Berne and Neuchâtel).
Languages spoken
French 90 % (Swiss French 20.4 %), German 4.4 % (Swiss German 63.7 %) and
Italian 1.8 % (Swiss Italian 6.5 %). The other languages vary between 2.7 and
4.9 %.
Beneath the surface
Thousands of prehistoric remains of dinosaurs dated from the Jurassic era (152
million years BC) have recently been discovered.
Economy
The Jura possesses a long industrial tradition, with special excellence in hightech areas like watchmaking, microtechnology and automation. More than 40 %
of the working population are employed in the Jura’s industries, and the region
has more than 4,000 cross-border workers. The Jurassic economy is based on
a network of exceptionally flexible and innovative small to medium-sized businesses, focusing in equal measure on the service sector, the life sciences and
the leisure industry. In close proximity to the economic centre that is Basel, the
Jura offers a unique level of expertise, with many highly qualified men and women working in the interest of quality and innovation. Many of the products of
Jurassic industry are exported beyond the borders of the region.

Welcome to the Jura
Instruction in civic rights and obligations
g Swiss federalism
A convivial canton
offering rich variety
The Jura boasts a large number
of monuments, castles (Delémont,
Porrentruy, Soyhières, Asuel, Pleujouse
etc.), ruins, churches (chapels or
collegiate churches like Saint-Ursanne),
town houses and so on.
The Historic Monuments section of the
u Office de la culture du canton du Jura
[Cultural Office of the Canton of Jura]
is actively involved in the conservation
of the architectural heritage of the
region, and maintains a public archive
of the documentation relating to historic
monuments.
In addition, the magnificent Jura
landscape is suitable for many kinds of
sporting and leisure activities. The range
of these extends to include the culture
that reflects the identity and diversity of
the Jura region.
For further information on this subject,
please refer to the section on ‘School,
education and training, leisure and
culture, sport and leisure activities’.
Switzerland is a federal state or confederation consisting of 26 cantons.
The cantons are free to make their own laws on all matters not regulated
by the federal constitution.
The municipalities (‘communes’), the smallest political entities in
Switzerland, also enjoy a certain degree of autonomy. Operations of state
are divided between these three levels (the confederation, the cantons and
the communes) which work in close collaboration.

rooms, the duration of the tenancy, the
modalities for termination or extension of
the contract, the amount of the rent, the
mortgage rate, the guarantee amount etc.
JA_En_A4_Habitat_1/2
Charges
The rental agreement should also list
the tenant’s obligations which the
landlord includes under the heading of
supplementary charges. These charges

To make the property available at the date agreed, in the state appropriate to
the usage intended, and to maintain it in this state; on request of the tenant,

To present an extract from the records of the debt collections office if required
by the landlord; to pay the rent; to pay the additional charges (heating, hot
water etc.), if so determined by the rental agreement; to set up a guarantee, if

of house rules, of which the tenant will
usually be given a copy at the time when

other tenants will supply information
about the way the affairs of the building
are generally managed.
Washing
If the rented property does not have a
washing machine, one or more machines
will be made available in a shared area of
the building. The use of these machines
may be free of charge or subject to coin

landlord of the income from the rent, and
so puts him under pressure to live up to
his obligations. The rental put on deposit
is thus considered to have been paid, but
can no longer be freely accessed either by
the tenant or by the landlord.
g Buying a house
Looking for a property
Steps to take: Make regular visits to estate agents; read advertisements in the
regional press or on the internet; place advertisements in the press, on the internet or on public display boards; let your friends and acquaintances know that
you are looking for a house.

Planning permission
The application for planning permission should be submitted to the commune
administrative offices responsible for the place where the work is to be carried
out. You are advised to resort to the services of a professional, an architect for
instance, to ensure that the dossier you submit is complete and that the project
meets quality standards. The commune authorities will examine your submission and then pass on the dossier to the uService de l’aménagement du territoire RCJU, Section des permis de construire [Development Services of the RCJU
Districts, Planning Permission Office]. If your project is judged satisfactory, this
authority will return the dossier to the commune for publication purposes. This
involves publication of the data in the Journal officiel [Official Gazette], and the
dossier will also be available for public inspection for a period of 30 days at the
commune administrative offices. On expiry of the term allowed for objections,
the commune authorities will return the dossier to the Section des permis de
construire [Planning Permission Office] with its report and recommendations.
Porrentruy and Delémont
In the case of Porrentruy and Delémont the procedure is slightly different, in
that the application must be submitted at the level of the commune, i.e. to the
u Service des Travaux publics de Porrentruy [Porrentruy Public Works Service]
and to the uService de l’urbanisme, de l’environnement et des travaux publics
de la Ville de Delémont [Urban Development, Environmental and Public Works
Services of the Town of Delémont] rather than at the cantonal level.
Designated construction areas
The communes of the Jura have many designated areas for the erection of
family residences. You can get information from the usecrétariats communaux [commune administrative offices] or by consulting their websites

Medico-social establishments
An EMS is an institution for elderly
persons, who while they may not need
direct care nonetheless require a fairly
significant degree of support. These
fall into three categories:* homes with
medical backup (464 beds), residences for
elderly persons (247 beds) and gerontopsychiatric units (58 beds). The u Service
de l’action sociale du canton du Jura
[Canton of Jura Social Services] is able to
supply a brochure containing the address
of EMS institutions.
* These categories will be obliged to change
presently when a new law on gerontology is
introduced.

Medical insurance
Law on Medical Insurance (LAMAL)
Choice of insurance company
The insured party is free to choose his
or her insurance company.
Having regard to a term of notice
of three months and observing the
terms established by statute, insured
parties are equally free to change their
insurance company.
When notified of a new premium,
insured parties may change their
insurance company with effect from the
end of the month preceding the coming
into force of the new premium, subject
to a term of notice of one month.
The insured party may not change
insurance company if he or she is in
arrears with payments.
Amount of the premiums
All insurance companies should offer
the same benefits to all insured parties.
No exceptions are permitted in what
concerns basic insurance. The health
insurance company is obliged to charge
the same premiums for the same
benefits.
The u Service de la santé du canton
du Jura [Canton of Jura Public
Health Service] and the u Caisse de
compensation du canton du Jura
[Canton of Jura Compensation Fund]
publish the amounts of the cantonal
premiums of all health insurance
companies, and will be happy to
provide information on this subject.
Reduction of the premiums
The Canton of Jura grants reductions of
health insurance premiums to insured
parties in straitened circumstances.
The u Caisse de compensation du
canton du Jura [Canton of Jura
Compensation Fund] can supply useful
information on this subject.
Law on Accidental
Insurance (LAA)
For persons working in Switzerland,
accidental insurance is mandatory.
For more details relating to the LAA,
please refer to the section ‘Work and
finance - insurance’.
(generally known as ‘basic medical insurance’)
g Insurance obligations
All persons resident in Switzerland are obliged to insure themselves for the
provision of health care in case of sickness. This must be done within three
months from the start of residence or in the case of a child born in Switzerland,
from the date of birth.
g Benefits
Medical insurance provides benefits in case of sickness, accident (if no other
accident insurance scheme, private or mandatory, assumes responsibility) and
maternity.
Besides the costs resulting from treatment in the strict sense, the LAMAL also
provides for the coverage of certain costs associated with the detection and
prevention of certain illnesses, as well as the cost of the dental care resulting
from a serious illness or the consequences of a serious illness.
Detailed information on these benefits may be accessed at the website
of the Office fédéral de la santé publique [Federal Office of Public Health],
www.bag.admin.ch.
g Contribution by the insured person to the cost of benefits
The insured person pays the cost of the benefits up to the amount of the
excess for which he or she has opted in the insurance agreement (in the case of
children, no excess is payable). Over and above this excess, the insured person
assumes responsibility for 10 % of the charges up to the limit of CHF 700.– per
annum (CHF 350.– for children). A contribution to the charges for hospital treatment will likewise be levied.
g Reimbursement / non-reimbursement for medicaments
Medicaments not covered by health insurance
Medicaments which have not been prescribed by a doctor (with prescription) or
which do not appear on the list of the Office fédéral de la santé publique OFSP
[Federal Public Health Office OFSP] must be paid for by patients themselves,
unless they are covered by a complementary insurance policy taken out by the
patient.
Medicaments covered by health insurance
The health insurance companies will reimburse the cost of medicaments which
have been prescribed by a doctor (with prescription) provided that they appear
on the list published by the u Office fédéral de la santé publique OFSP [Federal
Public Health Office OFSP].
g Two systems of reimbursement
‘Tiers payant’ [direct payment] system
Thanks to a convention agreed between Santésuisse (the association of health
insurance companies) and the Société suisse des pharmaciens [Swiss Society
of Pharmacists], the majority of insured persons can obtain medicaments on
prescription without having to pay in cash.
‘Tiers garant’ [third party guarantor] system
Failing a convention between the insurance company and the pharmacy in qujestion, the patient will pay for the medicaments at the pharmacy directly and
can then apply for the cost to be reimbursed by the insurance company.
g Right to daily benefit in case of sickness
The right to daily benefit payments comes about when the working capacity
of the insured party has been reduced by at least half, and takes effect on
the third day following the onset of the illness (or otherwise if so specified in
the insurance policy). In the case of pregnancy and childbirth, the insurance
companies will pay benefit for a period of 16 weeks, of which 8 at least must be
subsequent to the birth, on condition that the insured party has paid premiums
for 270 days without any interruption longer than 3 months.

Settling in
Community living
Definition
Social integration designates the broad
spectrum of efforts aimed at ensuring improved mutual understanding
between the population of Swiss origin
and persons coming from abroad.
These efforts tend towards the promotion of coexistence based on mutually
accepted values and modes of behaviour and shared information. The
process of integration implies both the
wish on the part of foreign nationals to
be assimilated and that of the native
population to welcome the new arrivals.
A particularly important factor for the
effective integration of foreign persons
in the Canton of Jura is their learning
the French language.
For further details on the subject of
French language learning opportunities,
please refer to the section on ‘School,
education and training, leisure - School
and training’.
Law on Foreigners
For the first time the principles of social
integration have now been enshrined in
a federal law which came into force on
1 January 2008. The grant of a residency permit can now be linked to the
obligation to attend a French language
course and a social integration course
(hitherto restricted to special reasons
for visiting the country).
The content of the Loi sur les étrangers LEtr [Law on Foreigners] can be
consulted at the website of the federal
administration, www.bfm.admin.ch.

Effective social integration on no account means forgetting or ceasing to
respect your own origins and traditions. On the contrary, it is altogether
desirable that new arrivals from abroad should have the opportunity of
participating in the social life of their community of origin.
Here is what the Canton of Jura has to offer

Dialling telephone numbers
in Switzerland
Federal Communications
Office OFCOM
u L’Office fédéral de la
communication OFCOM [Federal
Communications Office OFCOM]
functions as an arbitrator in the
Swiss communications market.
In Switzerland, telephone numbers are always preceded by a regional
dialling code. The only exceptions are emergency calls (117 for the
police, 118 for fire etc.). Calls to Switzerland from abroad must be
preceded by the country code 0041 or +41, followed by the Swiss
number, leaving out the zero at the start of the regional code.
Service numbers with added value which start with 0900, 0901 and
0906 allow their subscribers to offer services (advice, sale of products,
competitions, eroticism etc.) of which the cost will form part of the
telephone billing. In such cases the caller pays a surcharge for services
received. This surcharge is determined by the service provider in
conjunction with the telephone operator, over and above the standard
call charges.
Areas concerned
The main telephone directories
Numerous service providers exist
in Switzerland (the services they
offer may be compared online
at www.comparis.ch and
www.allo.ch), offering services in
the following areas:
g Internet
JA_En_A6_Communications_1/1
g Land line telephone services
Swisscom is the only service
provider to offer connections for
the fixed network in the whole
of Switzerland. The simplest
way to go about it is to ask for
a connection at the Swisscom
website (www.swisscom.ch),
and you will then be allocated a
telephone number. In addition,
many operators offer various
telephone service products. The
comparisons to be found at
www.comparis.ch are a valuable
help, enabling you to ascertain
which operator is the least costly
and to sign up immediately online.
If you opt for an operator other
than Swisscom, the operator will
deal with the formalities in relation
to Swisscom. It is still possible for
you to keep the telephone number
that Swisscom has allocated you.
g Mobile telephone services
Three mobile networks operate in
Switzerland: Swisscom, Sunrise
and Orange. Other companies like
Migros, Coop and Mobilezone offer
mobile phone packages while still
using the network of Swisscom,
Sunrise or Orange).
g Internet telephony
For telephone calls via the internet,
you will need to have internet
access (ADSL or cable).
g On the internet:
www.directories.ch, www.pagesjaunes.ch, www.local.ch
g Printed directories:
national and local telephone directories
g From a mobile:
mobile.local.ch
g Telephone enquiries:
1811, 1818 or 1899
g On CD-ROM:
CD Directories, telinfo, TwixTel
g Cable and digital television
In Switzerland, about 80 % of
households equipped for television
can receive radio and television
programmes by cable. This offer
is made available by private
companies making use of the cable
networks. In the case of the Jura,
the company in question is u EBL
Telecom AG.
Information on the subject of digital
television can be obtained from
www.televisionnumerique.ch.
In case of legal disputes
The u Fondation Ombudscom
[Ombudscom Foundation] may

Value added tax VAT
Areas subject to VAT
VAT is a tax on consumption.
Goods and services are not all
subject to the same rates. Almost
all services are subject to the
standard tariff of 7.6 %. Basic and
essential goods are only liable at a
reduced rate of 2.4 %.
Areas not subject to VAT
Health, social services, teaching,
culture, the money and capital
markets, insurance, rental of
apartments and the sale of
property.
VAT included
VAT is a charge borne by the
consumer. It is therefore generally
included in the sale price, or listed
separately in the billing.
Consumer Association
of French-speaking
Switzerland FRC
With a monthly journal
and dedicated website
(www.frc.ch), FRC issues
information and warnings to the
public with reference to various
areas of consumption.

Choice of a banking establishment
Numerous criteria need to be taken into account when choosing where to
bank: the rates the bank offers, services relating to the possibility of finance,
closeness to your place of residence, bank charges etc. A list of banking
establishments in the Jura may be consulted at www.directories.ch.
Anticipated interest
The interest resulting from the
possession of an account is
credited to the account holder
at a rate of 65 %. The remaining
35 % (anticipated interest) will be
retained at source and passed on
to the tax office. This interest will
be returned the second time round
by the cantonal tax authorities.
This arrangement is designed
to encourage persons subject
to contributions to declare their
income and their means, and so to
combat financial fraud.
Bank cards and cheques

Widely used in Switzerland and
in the Jura, the Maestro card can
be used to pay for purchases,
as well as to withdraw money

(Bancomat) by means of a personal
identification number (PIN). The
cost of a withdrawal will vary
depending on the bank. Payment
for purchases is free of charge in
Switzerland, variable in foreign
countries. Subject to a variable
annual contribution, depending on
the bank.

Mortgages
Definition
A mortgage is a loan granted by
a bank which is guaranteed by
security in the form of real estate.
Two levels
Banks grant a first mortgage
(mortage of the first level) up to a
maximum where the loan amounts
to 66 % of the value of the property.
In case of need, they will grant a
second mortgage (of the second
level).
Mortgage payments
Corresponding to the rate of
interest of credit. Generally
speaking, mortgages have to be
paid back in periodic instalments.
Personal contribution
The mortgage creditor generally
levies 20 % as a personal
contribution (savings, credits under
2nd or 3rd ‘pillar’ or fruit of own
labour - see section on ‘Work and
finance / Insurance’).

Personal credit
g Anticipated payment / sale by instalment
Reimbursement of the sale price in equal payments spread out over a period.
Credits for SMEs
To establish the conditions for
the grant of credit, banks refer to
the state of company accounts,
future prospects and the sector of
activity concerned. The guarantees
provided (mortage on real estate,
life assurance etc.) will have a
favourable effect on the rate of
credit.
g Leasing
Contract concluded between three partners (the consumer, the service
provider and the bank providing the finance), e.g. for the purchase of a
vehicle.
A distinction must be made between two forms of leasing:
True leasing: hire of a vehicle in which the amount is fixed, based on the
length of the agreement and the kilometre distance to be travelled.
Diverted leasing: hire purchase with repurchase on the expiry of the lease.
The premiums are higher than those for ‘true leasing’.
Two types of credit
Banks differentiate between credits
that are exploited in the short term,
for the financing of circulating
assets (assets which are unlikely to
remain for any length of time within
the business - stock, accounts
receivable etc.) and credits which
involve a long term investment, for
the financing of fixed assets (the
sum of assets which are expected
to remain within the business
for an extended period, like land,
buildings, machines etc.).
g Plastic money
Settlement using a credit card or customer card issued by a department
store.

Contract of employment
The law does not insist on any particular form in this respect, and a contract
of employment may be tacit (understood) or oral; all the same, written
form is strongly recommended. A
written contract generally details the
following elements:
g Trial period
If no specific agreement has been
entered into, the Code des obligations
CO [Code of Obligations] prescribes a
trial period of one month.
g Duration of the appointment
May be limited or indefinite.
g Term of notice
In case of indefinite duration:
7 days during the trial period,
1 month advance notice with effect
from the end of the month during the
first year of employment,
2 months advance notice with effect
from the end of the month for a contract lasting from 2 to 9 years,
3 months advance notice with effect from the end of the month for a
contract lasting 10 years or more. Oral
notice is legally valid, but written form
is nonetheless highly recommended.
In case of an appointment of limited
duration, the contract comes to an end
on the expiry of the term, without any
need of formal notice being given.
g Steps to be taken immediately
On being made redundant you should immediately take steps to look for a new job,
showing evidence of this to the u Office régional de placement ORP [Regional Employment Office ORP], and register with the Office communal du travail [Commune

g Insurance against redundancy
Information on the subject of insurance against redundancy may be found in the section on ‘Work and Finance / Insurance’.
g Amount of benefit payable under redundancy insurance
Depending on the circumstances, between 70 % and 80 % of the guaranteed earnings

Word of mouth can lead to your being successful in your search for a job.
Job application
A job application should contain the following basic elements:
g Curriculum vitae (CV)

The three pillars of provision for the future
In Switzerland, the social security system is based on the principle of three
‘pillars’. Its aim is to maintain the quality of life enjoyed prior to retirement,
invalidity or death, for the person insured or surviving dependents.
Benefits under the first two pillars only cover about 60 % of a person’s
former income, so they are supplemented by private individual insurance,
which is known as the third pillar.

g 1st pillar: AVS/AI/PC
Insurance under AVS/AI is mandatory for all persons resident or working in
Switzerland. AVS/AI payments are designed to cover essential needs at the
age of retirement or in case of death or invalidity. These may be backed up by
complementary benefits (Prestations complémentaires - PC). The amount of
an old age pension will depend on the amount of the contributions paid. Years
where no contribution is paid will therefore result in a proportional reduction
of future pension payments.
g 2nd pillar: LPP/LAA
The aim of the second pillar, ‘professional insurance’ (prévoyance
professionnelle - LPP), is to enable elderly persons and persons suffering from
invalidity and their surviving dependents to maintain their former quality of
life. All persons in gainful employment in Switzerland who receive an annual
income of CHF 19,350.- or more are obliged to be insured under this scheme
from the age of 18 and upward.
The Loi sur l’assurance accident (LAA) [Law on Accidental Insurance] provides
benefits to the victims of accidents in the workplace or outside the workplace,
as well as those suffering from health conditions incurred through work.
All persons working in Switzerland are obliged to be insured against these
eventualities. Persons not in gainful employment are only partially covered by
the Law on Accidental Insurance, so it is advisable to supplement this partial
coverage by concluding a private insurance agreement.
g 3rd pillar: individual insurance
A distinction is made between prévoyance liée 3a [tied insurance] and
prévoyance libre 3b [discretionary insurance].
If you are in gainful employment, tied insurance 3a enables you to accumulate
individual capital with a view to retirement. The amounts paid are admittedly
tied up for the minimum period prescribed by statute, but on the other hand
this method of saving enjoys certain financial advantages. Furthermore, if you
start up your own business or purchase a residential property, you are entitled
to withdraw the capital you have saved before the end of the legal term.
Discretionary insurance 3b consists of the whole range of different modes of
saving - putting money aside, investing in shares and securities, purchasing
landed property or life assurance etc.

Movable property insurance
g Risks insured
Risks you can insure against include fire (domestic fires, lightning, explosions
etc.), damage by the elements (flood, storm, hail, rockfalls etc.), damage caused by water, glass breakages (window panes, washbasins etc.) and theft
(breaking and entering, robbery, simple theft, simple theft outside the place
of residence).
g Coverage
Besides their own fixtures and furnishings, insured parties also insure the objects belonging to persons living with them (all persons resident at the property
whose needs are looked after by the persons responsible for the household),
objects that have been loaned, leased or hired and (in the case of a business)
objects belonging to members of staff. The premiums are fixed by contract,
on the basis of the list of goods insured drawn up by the insured party and the
sums insured. This list should be regularly reviewed to take into account of any
modifications in the fixtures and furnishings covered.
g Benefits
Following an insurance incident, the insurance company will in principle pay
the value as new of the object lost or destroyed.
g Mandatory fire insurance
Fire insurance is mandatory for all movable property situated in the canton
of Jura. An officially approved extinguisher is a minimum requirement for
all new and converted buildings, and is strongly recommended to all households.
g Complementary insurance
Some forms of damage are not covered by movable property insurance. Most
of these may be covered on the basis of complementary insurance policies.
Third party insurance
g Coverage
RC [third party] insurance is designed to cover damage caused to third parties
by the insured person or persons for whom the insured person is responsible.
While this is not mandatory under the law, it is nonetheless strongly recommended. In addition, the rental agreement that is standard in the Jura requires
the tenant to take out third party insurance coverage.
g Benefits
The insurance company will only pay the effective value (not the value as
new) of the object lost or destroyed, possibly with an excess payable by the
insured party.
g Keepers of motor vehicles
Third party insurance for keepers of motor vehicles is obligatory.
Buildings insurance
g ECA
Buildings insurance is mandatory for all properties. In the Jura, the u Etablissement cantonal d’assurance immobilière et de prévention ECA JURA [Cantonal Establishment for Buildings Insurance and Prevention ECA JURA] insures
all buildings constructed in the canton.
Dental insurance
Dental insurance is a voluntary component of LAMAL. You can insure
yourself for various specific services
and benefits in connection with
dental care.
Breakdown assistance
Breakdown assistance for cars or
motorcycles covers such eventualities
as theft, breakdown, accidents etc.
Coverage may extend to Switzerland,
Europe or the whole world.

General matters
JA_ En_ B5_Impôts_1/2
Persons liable for tax in the Jura are
obliged to pay commune taxes, federal taxes and parish taxes on their income, their assets, and on the profits
and capital equity of a company.
Specific information:
tax deducted at source
Source tax is a tax levied directly by
the employer on the salary of the
employee. This manner of proceeding
relates to foreign nationals who are
resident in the canton of Jura or visiting it without being in possession of
a permit C residence permit, as well
as sportspersons, artists, lecturers
etc. who are neither resident in nor
temporarily visiting Switzerland.
Source tax is levied on the individual’s income by the Swiss Confederation, the canton, the commune and
the parish.
Steps that need to be taken
immediately
on arriving in the canton of Jura
Once you have lodged your papers with the commune or municipality
where you intend to reside, you should contact the Service des contributions [Contributions Service] at Delémont as soon as possible in order to
fill in a simplified questionnaire (form 120). On this basis you will be given
a provisional calculation of the amount of tax for which you will be liable.
You can also work it out for yourself online with the help of the calculating
tool provided at www.jura.ch/contributions. You should then obtain credit
slips from the district receiving office at the same address, so as to start
settling the tax payments due at the earliest opportunity. You are strongly
recommended to proceed in this way in order to avoid falling into arrears
with your payments and so having to pay a higher amount when your
liability is calculated at a later date.
Please also be aware of the following:
g Persons liable for tax coming from abroad will be taxed on the amount of
their monthly earnings from the time of their arrival in the canton of Jura.
g Persons liable for tax coming from another Swiss canton who choose to
reside in the canton of Jura become liable for Jura tax for the duration of the
year.
g In Switzerland, any change of canton means switching to a new tax authority.
g From the day of settlement in the canton of Jura, a physical person becomes liable for tax with retrospective effect from 1 January of the year.
g Leaving a place of residence does not exempt you from the obligation of
paying all the tax amounts previously incurred.
Tax calculation
A useful guide
The amount payable is calculated
on the basis of a person’s income
in the course of the year and of
his/her assets as at 31 December.
You are obliged to declare any
income you may have within
Switzerland or abroad. You must
also declare the full extent of your
assets (capital, real estate, life
insurance etc.)
You can work out the amount
of tax payable on a linear basis
with the help of the online
calculating tool provided at
www.jura.ch/contributions.
When sent out to the taxable
party, all tax declaration forms
come with a guide in the form of
a printed brochure. This contains
all the information you need to
understand the tax system in force
in the canton of Jura and to fill in
the form appropriately. This guide
is available in a French or German
version, and can be obtained
at any time from u Service des
contributions du canton du Jura
[Contributions Service of the
Canton of Jura].

In parallel to the state, the churches
likewise levy taxes on income, assets, profits and capital, including

Declaration of tax
Persons liable for tax in the Jura
wishing to make out a declaration
have the choice between two
manners of proceeding:
a) filling in the declaration by hand
JA_ En_ B5_Impôts_2/2
b) filling in the declaration with the
help of the logical tool Juratax
(available on CD or on the internet
at www.juratax.ch). This is the
favoured approach for more than
50 % of the Jurassic population.
g Extended deadline for return of declaration:
An extended deadline may be obtained on request from Service des contributions de Delémont [Delémont Contributions Service]. Failure to observe the
term will entail the dispatch of a reminder (CHF 30.–) or of a notice to pay
(CHF 50.–). On failure to respond to the reminder or notice, the Service des
contributions will impose an administrative assessment (with additional appreciation) and will charge the resulting amount to the taxable party.
g 9 instalment payments: monthly payments from February to October
These instalments are payments towards the total tax obligation, and are effected by means of a credit slip made out in the name of the taxable party.
g Payment of instalments: each instalment falls due for payment within
the 30 days following its receipt. Failure to observe this term will result in
liability for interest, which will be added to the amount of the tax payable. If
following a definitive notice of tax liability the amounts due have not been
paid, a reminder or notice of payment will be sent, after which the debt
collection office may take action against the taxable party. The dates at which
payments fall due, and the deadlines for payment of tax instalments, are
published every year in the Journal Officiel [Official Journal] and are also
available online at www.jura.ch.
g Dispatch of an intermediate account: December
g Dispatch of a final account: in accordance with the progress of payments
g Dispatch of a provisional account for impôt fédéral direct (IFD) [Direct
Federal Tax]: March
g Right of appeal: if you wish to dispute your tax assessment, you can avail
yourself of your right of appeal within 30 days from the delivery of the tax
notice by writing to Service des contributions du canton du Jura [Contributions Office of the Canton of Jura].
Independent activity
for profit, farming
and business activity
Financial assistance
in setting up
a new business
Self-employed persons and farmers
are obliged to keep accounts which
will serve as the basis for calculation
of the tax liability. This will include
accounting documents like a balance sheet, profit and loss accounts,
ledgers etc. The relevant accounting
documents must be made available
to the Service des contributions on
request. Please note that accounting
documents and supporting documents must be retained for a period
of 10 years.
Businesses that have been recently
set up in the canton of Jura and
that are of particular interest for
the Jurassic economy may, under
certain precisely defined conditions,
benefit from special tax allowances.
These may involve either total or
partial exemption from tax on the
profits or capital of the business
over a period that may extend to as
much as 10 years.

[Economic Development Office of
the Canton of Jura] can give you

connection.

like to point out to you
that with a cycling helmet
properly worn the risk you

Universal speed limits
Motorways: 120 km/h
Semi-motorways: 100 km/h
Routes nationales [A roads]: 80 km/h
In towns and villages: 50 km/h
(or 60 km/h on certain sections)
Residential zones: 30 km/h
Mandatory safety belts
Safety belts must be worn, both in
the front seats and in the back of
the vehicle.
JA_ En_ C3_Règles de la route_1/1
Safety harness for children
The children smaller than
150 centimeters have to use a
device of restraint until 12 years.
The devices of restraint (complete
seats or booster seats) are allowed
which respect the requirements
44/03 or 44/04 contained in the
regulation ECE. From 12 years or
from 150 centimeters, the children
must be attached with the safety
belt of the car.
Useful information
The safest place for a child in the
vehicle is the back seat on the right.
This enables the child to exit the car
onto the sidewalk, rather than onto
the road.
It is essential that the safety belt
should hold the child at shoulder
level - on no account should it go
over the child’s neck, as this may
cause serious injury in case of
impact. This is one advantage of
using a booster seat.
Never place a Moses basket on
the back seat without securing it in
place.
The safety belt in the middle of the
back seat does not give sufficient
protection and so should be
avoided.
The u Bureau de Prévention des
Accidents BPA [Accident Prevention
Office BPA] can provide useful
information in connection with
these matters.
Moreover, if you break down or have an accident, you must immediately
put breakdown triangles in place (these are mandatory in all vehicles, and
should be placed at 50 m distance from the accident on a secondary road
and at 150 m distance on a motorway).
3. Give the alarm
Who? What? When? Where? How many injured? Any other dangers?
For example: ‘Hello, my name is Pierre Martin, I am reporting a head-on collision between a passenger vehicle and a tanker lorry about 2 minutes ago on
the Courfaivre exit going in the direction of Bassecourt. There are three persons
injured, one being a child. The lorry, which was an oil tanker, did not stop.’

Road signs
Any road signs displayed have
priority over the general rules of
the highway code.
You will find a comprehensive list
of Swiss road signs at the website
of the Office fédéral des routes
[Federal Highways Office],
www.astra.admin.ch.
Pedestrian crossings
A pedestrian wishing to use a
pedestrian crossing always has
priority over cars.
Mobile phones
The use of mobile phones when
driving is absolutely forbidden
(unless you use a hands-free
system).
Alcohol blood count
The limit for alcohol in the blood
when driving has been fixed at 0.5
per mil.
Give way to the right
The rule that cars coming from the
right have priority should apply as
long as road signs do not dictate
anything to the contrary.
Roundabouts
Vehicles on the roundabout have
priority over those joining it.
Distance between two vehicles
To be legal, a driver must be able to
stop within the visible distance. For
example, if you are going at 120 km
per hour, you need something like
140 m to stop. You need to bear this
constantly in mind when keeping
a reasonable distance between
yourself and the vehicle in front, or
else apply the ‘2 seconds rule’.
Meeting cars on narrow roads
If you meet a car on a narrow road,
the vehicle going uphill has priority
over the one coming downhill.

General overview of education
and training in Switzerland
LInfant school is addressed to children of 4 or 5 years of age, and covers a period of two years. Although
attendance is optional, 98 % of the
children eligible in the Jura make
use of the facility.
Primary school
All children are obliged to attend
primary school for three successive periods of two years at schools
located in the commune where they
reside or close to it (located in the
applicable cercle scolaire [catchment
area]).
The sixth year of primary school
is also designed to determine the
future educational course of pupils,
in view of the different teaching options available at secondary level.
Secondary school
Children are obliged to attend secondary school for levels 7S, 8S and
9S. Secondary school education is
offered at eight locations in the Jura
(Bassecourt, Les Breuleux, Courrendlin, Delémont, Le Noirmont, Porrentruy, Saignelégier, Vicques).
Transport to and from the school is
provided free of charge.
Sport/Art/Study Scheme
This scheme makes it possible for
children in secondary education who
show exceptional sporting or artistic
talent to find a balance between
regular school education and the
development of their special gifts.
Supervised homework
In many schools, students can do
their homework in a supervised
class, subject to the supervision of a
qualified person. These classes are
organised by the school authorities
and can be attended free of charge.

experienceing difficulties with free
funding, with a view to their being
reintegrated more effectively in the
general functioning of the school.

These classes offer the option of
taking two years to cover the first
year curriculum (1P). Teaching is
given in small groups by specially
trained teachers.

will be accepted in school classes in keeping with their age. New arrivals
may qualify for teaching support which is designed to make it easier for
them to adapt to the Jura school system.
With a view to maintaining contact with the language and culture of their
country of origin, students have the right to attend courses organised with
this end in view by their embassy or consulate (this refers in particular to
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Albanian nationals). They will be excused
from lessons which clash with these courses.
g Adolescents
Adolescents of foreign nationality who arrive in the Jura with an inadequate
command of the French language will be admitted for a period of variable

School and training
Training subsidies
Middle school
Middle school (school level II) follows
on from mandatory primary school
education. These schools offer pupils
the opportunity of obtaining a school
leaving certificate which opens up
opportunities of higher education or
gives them access to professional
training paths which may involve ten
to twelve years of study.
In the Jura, three types of certificate
may be obtained in middle schools:
g u Ecole de culture générale
[schools offering all-round education]
The certificat de culture générale [general certificate of education] equips
students to enter various high schools
and colleges connected with professional opportunities in education,
health, tourism and the social services.
The Ecole de culture générale offers a
Sports-Arts-Etudes [Sport / Art / Study]
scheme which follows on from that
which exists in secondary schools.
g u Ecoles supérieures de commerce
[Higher Business Colleges]
The two Ecoles Supérieures de Commerce [Higher Business Colleges] in
the canton of Jura make it their aim to
give students a good level of general
culture together with a solid professional training, focused on the needs
of businesses and public authorities
and involving competence in the use
of IT tools. Students qualify by obtaining a maturité commerciale cantonale
[canton business qualification], which
if supplemented by a practical working experience can become a maturité
professionnelle commerciale [professional business qualification].
g Lycées [secondary schools]
A secondary school leaving qualification allows the student access to
higher education at universities or
federal polytechnical colleges.

(Jura educational services

(Jura education and training centre)
g Scholarships and loans
The canton of Jura grants training subsidies (scholarships, loans and
reimbursement of tuition fees) to students and apprentices.
The sums granted will vary, depending on various criteria - like the parental income and assets, and the number of dependent children. Other criteria may be
taken into consideration for married persons or persons over 25 years of age.
These subsidies are granted in the following circumstances: initial training,
change of career path caused by changes on the job market, other reasons relating to force majeure or the need to undergo further professional development.
Under certain conditions, subsidies can also be granted for a second course of
training.
These subsidies do not have to be repaid, except in a case where training is
interrupted for no sufficient reason.
g Student loans
In some circumstances it is possible to obtain a student loan (not subject to
interest). Loans must be paid back in the five years following the termination of
study. In particular these are allocated as a supplement to a study scholarship,
to cover special training costs, for borderline cases where the relevant scales
do not allow for the grant of a scholarship or where parents have exceptionally
costly expenses to meet etc.
g Information
All the information you need on the subject of training subsidies may be found
at u Service de la formation des niveaux secondaire II et tertiaire - Section des
bourses et prêts d’études du canton du Jura [Training Services of Secondary (II)
and Tertiary Level - Canton of Jura Scholarships and Study Loans Department].
Please note that various communes in the Jura will also grant scholarships as a
complement to cantonal scholarships. The u secrétariats communaux [Commune
Secretarial Offices] will be happy to provide information in this connection.
You can work towards a secondary
school leaving qualification at the
u Lycée cantonal Cantonal [Secondary
School] or at the u Lycée-Collège
Saint-Charles [St Charles Secondary
School and College].
High schools
In Switzerland there are two types of
high school that rank as universities:
g Universities and two polytechnical
colleges, all situated outside the
canton of Jura.
Young people living in the Jura who
have a secondary school leaving
qualification will thus be obliged to
continue their studies at universities in
other Swiss cantons.
g Hautes écoles spécialisées HES
[specialist high schools HES]
The HES offer teaching focusing
on the practical and leading to a
diploma qualification. These courses
prepare students for the exercise
of professional skills involving the
knowledge and application of scientific
methods. They also offer postgraduate
study leading to a master’s degree.
Information about HES options may
be found online at www.hes-so.ch.
Professional/vocational
training
Initial professional/vocational
training, or apprenticeship, allows
students to learn the practice of a
profession, either by working within
a business while taking a parallel
theoretical course and a general
culture option at a vocational college,
or by attending a vocational college
offering both practical experience
and professional training.
The canton of Jura has created an
electronic scholarship facility for
apprenticeship placements. This may
be consulted online at www.bapp.ch.
Professional qualification
This complements the certificat
fédéral de capacité [Federal Certificate of Ability]. In particular, it allows
access without entry examination to
Hautes Ecoles Spécialisées HES [specialist high schools]. The maturité
professionnelle qualification can be
obtained in parallel to an apprenticeship.

The capacity of crèches in the Jura has increased considerably in recent
years. A complete list of child-minding centres in the Jura may be found
online at www.jura.ch/creches.
Uniform rates
In the canton of Jura, since 2007 all child-minding facilities have been subject to a single and uniform rate and connected to a joint database, making
it possible for vacant places to be managed more efficiently. The applicable charges are based on the income and assets of the parents, as well as
the number of persons living in the household. They may vary between
CHF 0.65 and CHF 6.– per hour.
How to apply for a place at a crèche
g There are long waiting lists, so parents wishing to register their child for
a crèche should act swiftly.
g They can apply to any crèche in the canton to find out where a free

children who have problems.
g Problems detected by third parties
Parents are not the only persons who may detect that a child has difficulties at school, in the family or socially. Commune authorities, social services, teachers, paediatric doctors, school nurses etc. may all find occasion
in the exercise of their functions to observe that a child is suffering from
behavioural problems.
g Professional intervention
Subject to consultation with the parents, these contact persons will then
share their findings with professionals who will assume responsibility for
the situation. These may be the school psychologist or the school mediator. Information about this may be found online at www.jura.ch/sen.
Parents can also contact the school mediator directly in case of any disagreement with the child’s teacher.
g Pédagogie compensatoire [compensatory education] services
Various facilities are available with a view to integrating problem children
with the school system as effectively as possible: transition classes, schooling support, appropriate auxiliary services for children with special needs,
extra teaching for children with high potential etc.
g Specialist institutions
Depending on the nature of the case, the professional persons consulted will direct the child to specialist institutions capable of responding to
his or her specific needs - for example, the Centre médico-psychologique
CMP [Medical-Psychological Centre CMP], the Service éducatif itinérant
SEI [Mobile Educational Service SEI], Action éducative en milieu ouvert
AEMO [Open Environment Educational Initiative AEMO] and others.
School psychologists
The work of school psychologists is managed by the Centre
d’orientation scolaire et professionnelle [Centre for Scholastic
and Professional Orientation] and
consists of two separate areas: on
the one hand consultation with
parents, the children and sometimes the responsible teacher
(based on interviews conducted in
strict confidence), and on the other
the observation of the children’s
behaviour in class in a familiar
social setting (this may lead to further investigation of the individual
case if appropriate, subject to the
parents’ consent).
Regional Social Services
The u Services sociaux régionaux
[Regional Social Services] may
be consulted in case of personal,
financial or family problems.
They offer support and backup
either for the individual or for the
family, along with the possibility
of mediation (for the exercise
of parental visiting rights, for
example).

The religious landscape
Plurality and respect
Switzerland offers religious
believers numerous possibilities of
practising their faith in a climate of
respect, tolerance and discretion.
Moreover, the religious landscape
in Switzerland is undergoing
permanent evolution, with an ever
greater diversity of churches and
religious groupings.
Catholicism
In Switzerland
With more than 3 million
adherents, the Roman Catholic
church is the majority religion
and is widely represented in the
country. It predominates in the
rural cantons and in towns that
acquired immigrants from southern
Europe in the seventies.
In the Jura
In the Jura as in Switzerland as a
whole, the religious landscape has
changed in the last decade.
In the year 2000: Roman Catholic
church 75 % (Switzerland 41.8 %).
Protestantism
In Switzerland
As the second church in the
country, the Protestant church has
more than 2.7 million worshippers.
Historically, Switzerland has played
a key role in the development of
Protestantism.
In the Jura
In the year 2000: reformed
evangelical church 10.7 %
(Switzerland 33 %)
JA_ En_ D3_Religion_1/1
Free evangelical churches
In the Jura, the free evangelical
churches (and other Protestant
communities) represent 1.8 % of the
population.
Times of masses of the Roman Catholic church may be looked up at
www.jurapastoral.ch, or you can obtain them directly from the
u Administration de la Collectivité ecclésiastique cantonale catholique romaine [Roman Catholic Collective Ecclesiastical Cantonal Administration].
Protestant services
Times of services of the reformed church can be obtained from the
u Secrétariat de la Paroisse réformée [Secretariat of the Reformed Parish].
Orthodox church
Buddhism and Hinduism
In Switzerland
For two centuries Switzerland has
played host to numerous Orthodox
Christians, Russian Orthodox in
particular.
In Switzerland
These two religions represent
0.5 % of the population and are
principally focused on Berne and
Zurich.
In the Jura
The Orthodox Church represents
0.4 % of the population.
In the Jura
These two religions are very much
in the minority, but nonetheless
numbers have been increasing
since 2000.
Judaism
In Switzerland
A significant number of Jews live
in Switzerland, both in Frenchspeaking and in German-speaking
regions. Most big towns have
a Jewish community which is
organised in institutions with a well
developed infrastructure.
In the Jura
Judaism represents 0.03 % of the
population.

The Jura offers a large selection when it comes to accommodation - hotels,
holiday flats and houses, Bed and Breakfasts, campsites, group accommodation, haylofts, teepees, yurts, cabins, youth hostels, dormitories etc.
With its website www.juratourisme.ch and four tourist information offices,
u Jura Tourisme [Jurassic Tourist Office] can tell you about accommodation
options, find out for you what is available and make bookings for you on request.
g Nature
The Jura enjoys a picturesque and varied countryside, thanks to a natural
environment which to a great extent has remained unspoilt. There are numerous activities through which you can discover the natural treasures of the
region as the seasons unfold. The summer is suitable for long-distance hikes
on foot (1,120 km of signposted footpaths), on horseback or by bicycle (with
many cycle tracks and 650 km of VTT [off-road] circuits at different levels) for
touring the lakes, the pastures of Franches-Montagnes etc. Winter is the season for long cross-country skiing hikes (100 km of signposted paths) or hikes
on snow-shoes (100 km of signposted paths) or skis with climbing skins.
u Jura Tourisme [Jurassic Tourist Office] can give you any information you may
require on this subject. The syndicats d’initiatives [tourist information offices]
of Delémont (www.sird.ch), Ajoie and Clos-du-Doubs (www.lesirac.ch) and of
the Franches-Montagnes district (www.franchesmontagnes.ch), as well as the
sociétés d’embellissement [country improvement societies] (listed at www.
juranet.ch) are also available as a source of useful information.
u La Maison du Tourisme and u Chemins de fer du Jura CJ [Jura Railways]
also have combined offers involving a range of sporting, family or cultural
activities.
u JuraGroupes [Jura Groups], available online at www.juragroupes.ch, is
available for the organisation of excursions, outings or seminars for groups in
the canton of Jura.
g Gastronomy and local products
The Jura sees it as a point of honour to promote and preserve its numerous
local products: cheeses (including the highly regarded tête-de-moine), pâtés,
sausages, terrines, wines (www.closdescantons.ch), brandies (including the
famous damassine), sweets etc. It is also worth mentioning that the Jura has
two traditional breweries (u Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes and u Brasserie artisanale de Porrentruy).
Every year, the u Fondation rurale interjurassienne FRI de Courtemelon [Interjurassic Rural Foundation of Courtemelon] organises the Marché des terroirs
suisses [Swiss Local Produce Market] and the Concours suisse des produits du
terroir [Swiss Local Products Competition] (www.concours-terroir.ch), in the
course of which Jurassic specialities may be found alongside those of other
Swiss cantons.
From the authentic country inn to the five star restaurant - like that of Georges
Wenger in Noirmont (18/20 on the GaultMillau scale, and 2 stars in the Guide
Michelin) - the Jura offers plenty of attractive opportunities for dining on tasty
and carefully prepared dishes.
The wide range of restaurants available in the Jura can be consulted online at www.juragourmand.ch.
