Ball in Swiss court on stock-exchange talks, EU says
By EUobserver
"It is now up to Switzerland to take action and decide," a European Commission spokesman said on Thursday, a day after it was revealed that commission vice president Valdis Dombrovskis had said that talks between the EU and Switzerland had not made enough progress to extend recognition of Swiss stock-exchange regulations beyond this year. Talks on a framework agreement will be reviewed by the Swiss cabinet on Friday.
