This agreement between the EU and Switzerland is historic. This marks the beginning of a long-lasting cooperation," EU chief Von der Leyen stated during the press conference.
Viola Amherd described the deal as good and beneficial to both sides, reflecting a significant shift in bilateral relations after years of hostility.

SVP lawmakers protested outside parliament, claiming the agreement would compromise Swiss independence and democracy, voicing their concerns over financial obligations to the EU.
