What does EU mean to you?
Does it mean you can move freely from country to country? (You can, it's Schengen)
How about goods? (They can, they're in the single market)
How about animals? Pets? (Switzerland accepts EU pet passports)
How about laws? Switzerland has many of the same EU laws.
How about judiciary? They're moving to accept the ECJ.
At what point does it matter if they're EU or not if all the other rules apply? If you didn't know, you'd probably wander around Switzerland thinking it was EU. That's my point. I'm not claiming they're a member state. I specifically said that, in the first line. What I am saying is that they're hardly independent of the EU, and that makes a big difference.
