Stabilisation and further development of the bilateral approach

The bilateral approach forms the basis for a first-rate, mutually beneficial partnership between Switzerland and the EU. However, EU law continues to develop, and Switzerland, for its part, has interests that go beyond what already exists; remaining in the status quo is therefore not an option. The Federal Council is therefore committed to the stabilisation and selective expansion of the tried and tested bilateral approach.
