THE Swiss government said it will file a protest with the United States over New Jersey legislation to punish Swiss banks over Second World War assets. A spokesman said the ruling cabinet, or Federal Council, would take further steps if the legislation, approved on Monday by the New Jersey Assembly, also passes the Senate and is signed into law by the Governor.
