Switzerland and its neighbours

Some 510,900 Swiss live in the EU. They rely a great deal on Switzerland and the European Union having good relations. The new Swiss-EU framework agreement, which has been the subject of negotiations since 2013, plays a key role in this context. It is still unclear what the final outcome of the negotiations will be. This dossier contains the most important “Swiss Review” articles on the framework agreement to date as well as position papers published by the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad.
