1. Problem
-
February 2014
- rightwing Swiss initiative : limit the number
of EU workers in Switzerland
- Without breaching the free movement of people
-
February 2017
- implement immigration quotas
- voted in February 2014
- Violated Switzerland's free movement agreement
with EU
-
Why 3 years ?
- It takes time
- Switzerland must find a compromise
-
2. How to manage that ?
-
House of Representatives
- "Light" national preference solution
- If don't work : more restrictive
measure, without quotas
-
4. And if agreed ?
- wait 100 days if no follow-up referundum
- September or November 2017
- no new vote until september 2017
-
3. Possible scenarios
- Didier Burkhalter said :
- Better to have a good solution than
to adhere strictly to a deadline
- Solution ? Enough good for Brussel ?
- If not respected : referendum attempt
