The Movement of Services Between the European Union and Switzerland
Inga Kawka
Abstract
The article highlights the barriers in the provision of services
between Switzerland and the EU which result from the restrictions
introduced by Switzerland as regards free movement of persons
and the fact that the FMPA has not been adjusted to the developing
acquis of the Union. The obstacles in question are part of a broader
context marked by the necessity to modernise the system of EU–Swiss
bilateral agreements. The obligation on the Swiss federal government
to renegotiate the FMPA which stems from the ‘against mass immigration’
referendum held on 9 February 2014 presents an opportunity to
introduce between Switzerland and the Union a model for their relations
which would be more coherent, transparent, dynamic and easier
to manage and whose basis could be a framework or an association
agreement.
