Bilateral Speeding fines

Recently Switzerland has entered into a bilatteral agreement with France, such that speeding fines from automatic cameras and parking tickets will be payable for French drivers in Switzerland and Swiss drivers in France. France has entered into similar agreements with all its neighbour states most recently Belgium and is going to be entering into a similar agreement with the UK and Holland later in the year.

The only information I can find on this is on a French website and it describes the situation from the French point of view. I would obviously like to get more information regarding this from the Swiss point of view, more specifically, what states Switzerland has entered into this agreement with and what the legal basis of this is. The definition of a bilatteral agreement is that it is a two way agreement between two states, however the website suggests that this is more a series of bilatteral agreements between states (also known as Multilatteral), the two are obviously different as the second implies that if you get a speeding fine in Germany or Italy, your details in Switzerland will be passed on and you would receive it. That only seems to apply to French people according to this website http://www.autonews.fr/Dossiers/Votr...Europe-129467/

Can anyone point me towards further information? Preferably in English or French, but Google does a reasonable job with German. I would really like to find some official documantation on this.
