Bilateral agreements until 1999

The basis for economic relations was laid in 1972 with the Free Trade Agreement, which was approved by 72.5% of the Swiss electorate as well as by a majority of the Swiss cantons. This was followed by the Insurance Agreement in 1989 and the Agreement on the Carriage of Goods in 1990, which was replaced by the expanded Agreement on Customs Facilitation and Security signed in 2009.
