    The State of EU-Switzerland relations in the EMPL areas of responsibility [er]. European Parliament.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2014.
    Summary
    Switzerland, with its nearly 25 % share of foreign population, has amended its constitution to reintroduce quotas as a result of the close vote in this February’s popular initiative; consequently, Switzerland would like to renegotiate the Free Movement Agreement of 2002, while the EU holds free movement to be non-negotiable. Currently, the EU and Switzerland are negotiating a new institutional framework for their relationship to allow for a legally binding mechanism to incorporate the changing EU rules into the Swiss legal system and provide for a judicial mechanism to resolve disputes. Given that the Swiss government currently is not in a position to sign the Croatia Protocol due to the new constitutional provisions introduced by the popular initiative, Switzerland has opened up its labour market to Croatian nationals in a separate, unilateral way to de-block other on-going dossiers, namely the institutional framework negotiations. On 30 November 2014, the Swiss people resoundingly rejected the “Ecopop” popular initiative, whose supporters wanted to limit immigration to Switzerland to 0.2 % (compared with the current 0.8 %).
