Ignazio Cassis trifft Maros Sefcovic am Mittwoch in Bern
Original
The meeting should actually have taken place in the summer. However, it was cancelled at short notice because the negotiating positions were apparently still too far apart.
Next Wednesday’s talks between Cassis and Sefcovic are likely to focus in particular on the amount of the cohesion contribution. Switzerland pays this to the EU for its partial access to the European single market.
