Bilateral Agreement Eu Switzerland

Filed under: Uncategorized — ירון @ 6:59 am

It remains to be seen how the EU will position itself next year on the framework agreement under the new head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. In 2004, a series of sectoral agreements (known as “bilateral II”) were signed, including Switzerland`s participation in Schengen and Dublin, as well as agreements on the taxation of savings, processed agricultural products, statistics, anti-fraud, participation in the EU media programme and the Environment Agency. It is not yet known how long the negotiations will last. However, negotiations are unlikely to progress significantly before the vote on the moderate immigration initiative launched by the Swiss People`s Party in May 2020. The adoption of the initiative would lead to the denunciation of agreements on the free movement of persons, which would render a framework agreement unnecessary (see blog post “No restrictions for Europeans”). Bilateral agreements I are expressed as interdependent. If one of them is pointed at or not renewed, they no longer apply to all of them. After the preamble to the EU`s decision to ratify the agreements: negotiations between Switzerland and the European Commission for an institutional framework agreement began in 2014 and ended in November 2018. On 7 December 2018, the Federal Council decided not to accept or reject the negotiated agreement, but to opt for a public consultation. [18] The negotiated agreement[19] would cover five areas of the 1999 EU-Swiss agreements: in 1994, Switzerland and the EU began negotiations to establish special relations outside the EEA. Switzerland wanted to guarantee economic integration with the EU that the EEA agreement would have allowed, while cleaning up the relationship between the contentious issues that led citizens to reject the referendum. Swiss politicians stressed the bilateral nature of these negotiations, which conducted negotiations between two equal partners and not between 16, 26, 28 or 29, as is the case with the negotiations on the EU-EU treaty.

This is called the “guillotine clause.” While the bilateral approach theoretically guarantees the right to refuse the application of the new EU rules to Switzerland, the clause limits the scope of application in practice.
