EU Warns Switzerland Over Immigration Restrictions

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The EU has warned Switzerland that its decision to impose new restrictions immigrants from Eastern and Central European countries is in "breach" of a free movement treaty.

Switzerland, which is not an EU country, has a special agreement that allows Swiss people to benefit from Europe's open borders travel zone.

In return, the Swiss are supposed not to discriminate against immigrants from any EU country, with the exception of time-limited restrictions on Bulgarians and Romanians. » | Bruno Waterfield, Brussels | Thursday, April 19, 2012
