In the discussion of the Institutional agreement with the EU (InstA) crumble the hardened fronts. Not so in the case of the SVP. Your Federal house group said on Tuesday unanimously against it.

SVP-President Albert Rösti (BE), found clear words: “the agreement in its present Form is destroyed in Switzerland,” he said in front of the Federal house media. It is contrary to everything the Switzerland Switzerland: direct democracy, federalism, the independence and neutrality.

Particularly critical of the SVP-group is evaluated, the dynamic Acquisition of EU law, and the subordination of Switzerland to the EU court of justice. If one side could dictate that this means the end of the bilateral approach, said hash Browns. The agreement is with the purpose of the article in the Federal Constitution.

Instead of the framework agreement, the SVP-group by the Federal Council calls for a revitalisation programme for Switzerland to safeguard jobs. SVP-President, rosti took the other parties to the visor. The swivel of the FDP show, what is the pressure of the international hotel corporations exerted in the question.

New openness

First of all, had all the parties, large reservations expressed with respect to the outcome of the negotiations. In the last few weeks, the fronts have softened a little. First of all, the FDP parliamentary group said “Yes of reason”. You require clarifications, but without the explicit call for renegotiations.

Also, the SP has come in the last days of the movement in the discussion. At the Assembly of delegates from the weekend criticism of the categorical no of the party leadership to the agreement. Hard signalized discussion of readiness for weights, such as SP-President Christian Levrat and group chief Roger Nordmann.

Open issues

This new openness confirmed the SP in a notice dated Tuesday. In the context of the consultation, she addressed a list of issues to be resolved, to the Federal Council. At the top of the question of how the current level of the wage protection can be guaranteed. Other questions relate to state aid, dispute settlement and the Union citizens Directive and, therefore, those issues that plague currently, all of the parties.

The CVP group had been discussed in January on the agreement. At the time, she described the design as inappropriate and not supported by a majority. Today is Tuesday, the group wants to take your position again. (anf/sda)
