The members of the Committee on International Trade (INTA) will travel to Bern, Switzerland, from March 31 to April 1, 2026. The delegation’s goal is to speak with Swiss authorities, parliamentarians, and stakeholders following the completion of a comprehensive package of agreements with Switzerland. This package aims to deepen and expand the relationship between the European Union and Switzerland.
Deepening Trade Relations
Bernd Lange, Chair of the Committee and head of the mission, commented on the upcoming visit: “Our visit to Bern represents an important step in further strengthening the European Union’s partnership with Switzerland. Switzerland is a natural partner with whom we share close economic ties, common values, and geographical proximity.” Lange emphasized that the achieved package of agreements provides a favorable opportunity to deepen trade and investment relations and ensure stability and predictability for citizens and businesses on both sides. In an increasingly turbulent geopolitical situation, this underscores the shared commitment to remain close and reliable partners and to expedite the ratification process.
The delegation will take the opportunity to discuss the agreements, focusing on trade, economic, and investment relations, as well as the next steps in the ratification process on both sides.
The delegation consists of:
Bernd LANGE, INTA Chair, S&D, DE
Željana ZOVKO, Standing Rapporteur, EPP, HR
