Contract Type FiledJanuary 16th, 2013Switzerland has negotiated an institutional agreement with the EU in order to consolidate and develop Swiss-EU bilateral relations. The Federal Council considers the draft agreement to be largely in Switzerland’s interest. The government has, however, engaged in domestic clarifications on wage and worker protection, state aid and the EU Citizens’ Rights Directive. In November 2020, the Federal Council determined its position and resumed contact with the EU.
