The EU/Swiss deal is (I think) an all-or-nothing deal about immigration/customs/etc where either side can pull out completely. Switzerland might have just pulled out completely.

So what you mean to say is that the EU politicians will show backbone, respect their principles and reject a potential of new power over a new state in order to safeguard European law ?

That'll be a first.

These are the people that have not even mentioned the situation in Turkey. Hell, they haven't even stopped treaty negotiations about Turkey joining the EU.
