"I voted in favour of this recommendation because I come from an area that borders Switzerland and I am well aware of the significant trading relations between the European Union and the Swiss Confederation. Lately, I have been looking very closely at how integrated Switzerland is within the European economy and how much it interacts with its neighbouring countries. I have had the opportunity to have first-hand contact with a country that is generally European in its values and approach to the market, even though at times, it tends to trade on much-vaunted differences. Hence, this decision by the Council represents due acknowledgement of a process of integration which, in truth, has been going on for centuries. The problem that I have found is the views held by a section of the population with regard to the free movement of workers, yet I am delighted to say that the EU is doing its part to facilitate commercial exchanges, so Switzerland must respond with conciliatory measures showing its desire to pursue the four freedoms."@en1
