Switzerland's European Policy

Due to this geographical and cultural proximity, but especially due to their political and economic weight, the EU and its 27 member states are by far Switzerland's most important partners.

Thematic areas

Cooperation between Switzerland and the EU covers numerous areas, including the economy, trade, research, education, security, migration, transport, energy and health.
