"Given that Switzerland is the European Union’s fourth largest trading partner, and taking into account the value of exports and imports of agricultural products between the EU and Switzerland, this report is very important. In 2010, the EU exported agricultural products to the value of EUR 6.3 billion to Switzerland, making the country the third largest export market for the Union in this sector. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that the European Union work continuously with the Swiss authorities to improve the conditions and terms of bilateral trade relations. The agricultural agreement was concluded in 1999 and has been in force since 1 June 2002. However, it has only led to the partial liberalisation of some agricultural sectors and not to genuine free trade in agricultural products. However, this addition to the agreement means that EU exporters of key agricultural products, such as meat and dairy products, to one of our closest and largest export markets will enjoy greater protection of their designations of origin and geographical indications, thereby reflecting their specialised knowledge and the high quality of their foodstuffs."@en1
