year = {2016},
note = {The relations between Switzerland and the European Union have not made
substantial progress for years. The hitherto ongoing bilateral process
has stalled. Switzerland is asking for further bilateral negotiations,
if applicable in a new package of agreements (“Bilaterale III”);
whereas the European Union points to the necessity of a common
institutional framework to ensure the homogeneity of the relationship.
The existing bilateral system is extremely complex and difficult due
to the multitude of individual agreements. Switzerland’s positive
vote on an initiative against mass immigration of February 2014
further impedes relations, because it is incompatible with the
bilateral agreements on the free movement of persons.},
