Switzerland – legal island?
No country is an island, and neither is Switzerland.
Having studied the legal links between different European countries when it comes, notably, to economic matters, it must be concluded that Switzerland is far from being a legal island in Europe. Rather, it is linked to Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and to the European Union (EU) Member States through a complex system of sectoral or bilateral agreements.

Outside or inside the EU? Which option would you choose?
