How can that be good for Switzerland- aren’t they kind of EU-landlocked
Is there a neighbour the EU hasn’t fall out with of late?
Damn, I guess Switzerland will have to join the CIS then.
We are the EU, resistance is futile.
C’est la Vie times change. Welcome to The Future where everything is different.
Maybe the Swiss and the British can come up with something that makes them both happy.
What’s stopping the Swiss from accepting something like a post-Brexit agreement? It seems to have set an amusing precedent.
I think Switzerland is trying to see how far they could stretch the EU to do what they want?They’ll cave in soon to the EU hopefully.
God bless you Switzerland. Stay awesome.
Why should EU give in to anything from Switzerland? They are already one of the richest, they don’t get the ‘i am poor’ pity. Let them ruin themselves and see them crawling back when they lose their riches. A country like Switzerland has no weight against EU, does it do anything besides neutrality and being a gold bank?
Stay strong Switzerland, don’t let the German bully club try and pull you down.
The sheer hate in this comment section is insane: Calling Switzerland an autonomous region of Germany, telling the Swiss to “cave to EU demands.”, calling Switzerland a “spineless nation”.

Less hate in this subreddit, please!!
The Swiss will always find a way.
EU wants to integrate Switzerland into EU using the back door. This won’t happen. Maybe EU can try Russia.
Come and join the UK my friends, I for one am happy to take our swiss brothers under our wings
This whole negotiation is the eu saying “do this” and the Swiss saying no because they would never win a vote on it. It’s literally the eu’s fault if they ruin the relationship.
Damn the commect section got heated. I don’t know what everyone is on about. I hope the Swiss can keep their sovereignty as they have had and if the EU is in fact trying to sneak in a quasi-membership through the backdoor then that’s definitely worth condemning.
I hope this will work out for both.
It’s not impossible to have semi-free trade and semi-freedom of movement without being part of a multi-national government. NAFTA is a good example (the Canada, US, Mexico treaty), and the Swiss/EU treaty wouldn’t have the issues of having two highly developed countries and an impoverished developing country
I respect the swiss for putting a high price on their sovereignty, I wish politicians in Norway did the same. Imagine being in the 21st century and having no say in what laws are made for your country.
Switzerland and the UK should negotiate together. Together they would have a stronger position against the EU.
China bullying Taiwan: EU go “WUUUUT?!”
EU bullying Switzerland: “perfectly normal”
So much effort to keep that money haven at arm reach of the good ol’ powerful people.
