The financial services industry constitutes a critical element of the strong and multifaceted relations between Switzerland and the European Union, facing many opportunities and challenges, particularly as regards market access and in the regulatory arena. As an industry association we want to play our part to further improve the already good and mutually beneficial relations, encourage cooperation, and foster regulatory dialogue across borders.”
