Amharc ar fhreagraSwitzerland 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.
