Swiss seek clarifications before signing EU treaty
By EUobserver
The Swiss government has asked for clarification on three points before signing a draft treaty on future relations with the European Union. The points relate to wage and worker protection, state subsidies and citizens' rights. Berne needs to formally endorse the treaty by 17 June to maintain access to the EU market for Swiss stock exchanges. The European Commission said it would study and reply to the Swiss questions.
