Relations between the EU and Switzerland naturally follow special rules. In all likelihood, Switzerland would easily become a Member of the EU, given that it fulfils all of the accession criteria, but the fact is that the Swiss people have not wanted to join. It also remains a fact that, in geographical terms, the country is right in the middle of Europe and the EU. We therefore have everything to gain from concluding agreements such as those before us with this neighbour. Agreements of this nature simplify and aid the flow of relations between the 25 Member States and Switzerland, and improve the lives of citizens on both sides.
I therefore voted in favour."@en1
