	Swiss Federal Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swiss Federal Council (in German, Schweizerische Bundesrat; in French, Conseil fédéral suisse; in Italian, Consiglio federale svizzero; in Romansh, Cussegl federal svizzer) is the seven-member executive council which constitutes the government of Switzerland, as well as assuming functions corresponding to those of the head of state of other nations.
		One of the seven is elected to be president of the Federal Council (President of the Confederation) for a term of one year: he or she has no power above and beyond the other six, but assumes special representative functions (primus inter pares).
		The president of the confederation is thus not in the position of a head of state, though he or she may act and be recognized as one welcoming visiting heads of state of foreign nations.

		HONOLULU – A federal council declined to impose a five-year ban on harvesting the gemstone known as fl coral in Hawaiian waters, opting instead to restrict the practice to older populations of the coral.
		The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council on Wednesday rejected a recommendation from its Scientific and Statistical Committee to temporarily ban the harvest because of signs that younger populations of the sealife were declining.
		While the council members agreed that more regulation was needed, they felt a blanket moratorium on harvesting the Hawaii state gem was unnecessary.
