Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
873. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade given the recent parliamentary elections in Switzerland, his views regarding the renegotiation of bilateral treaties between the European Union and Switzerland concerning the free movement of persons and banking secrecy. [37393/15]
View answerSwitzerland and the European Union are close partners who enjoy mutually beneficial relations. I understand that the issues to which the Deputy refers will be the subject of relevant discussions between Switzerland and the European Commission, which is the competent authority in this area. Ireland will be supportive of an outcome consistent with European law.
