Swiss stockmarket not recognised in the EU anymore. Swiss participation in EU research project will end.

  4.  @fabiansaerve  no. The current agreements have to be updated constantly (with every new EU regulations) to stay in force. As this process is now stopped, Swiss will lose access to the EU market piece by piece with every new Eu regulation. Swiss stockmarket already lost access, now medical equipment does.

  7.  @biocapsule7311  The Swiss stock market already lost access to the EU market. 26th of May the Mutual Recognition Agreement for Medical Devices ceased to apply, too. This is not a theoretical discussion, it is a process already happening. Two big ones already gone.

  9.  @biocapsule7311  You misunderstood. The agreements have to be constantly renegotiated to stay in force, by every piece of new EU legislation, the corresponding Swiss-EU treaty ceases to apply, reducing Swiss market access to the EU.
