Switzerland’s Government Approves Contentious EU Deal

  • On June 13, 2025, Switzerland’s Federal Council endorsed a set of agreements designed to strengthen and stabilize its ties with the European Union.
  • The agreements follow successful negotiations concluded in December 2024 and address long-standing issues including wage protections, immigration, and electricity trade.
  • The cabinet aims to tailor involvement in specific sectors of the EU single market, assuring improved supply reliability, increased democratic oversight, and enhanced foreign-policy responsiveness, all while safeguarding Swiss sovereignty.
  • Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis highlighted that Switzerland is connected to Europe not only by location but also through economic and social ties, noting that customized access to the EU market enhances Switzerland's flexibility.
  • The agreements, which necessitate 35 legislative amendments, will enable Switzerland to rejoin EU programs starting January 1, 2026, while the proposed measures will be reviewed by Parliament ahead of a referendum.
