Share trading ban looms as Swiss row with EU escalates
By EUobserver
Switzerland's government said on Monday it would ban EU stock exchanges from trading Swiss shares in retaliation for Brussels freezing its bourses out from the EU market. "Activating the protective measure with regard to trading venues in the EU serves solely to protect the functioning of the Swiss stock exchange infrastructure", it said. The move relates to renewal disputes over the treaty governing Swiss-EU relations.
