following two statements of the Integration Office (1) and the Federal Council (2) Phil feels good in his article to be contradictory: first
"The willingness to migrate from Central and Eastern Europe as a whole is less than expected and shows predominantly positive effects. The workers from the EU-10 are helping to offset labor shortages, and they contribute to better economic performance in Europe."
second "Creates poverty, conflict and lack of opportunity are driving many people to flee or to crime. By supporting local, Switzerland economic opportunities and combat the causes of migration. This reduces the pressure on immigration . Switzerland "
Very well, at first glance, perhaps contradictory, but first, are there 2 statements from two different actors in a completely different context and, second, each with a different problem in mind:
The Integration Office merely states that movement of persons has a positive effect, because jobs can be filled. And that the willingness to migrate is not as big as a whole, which means that not many people come to us to work here when they can work in their homeland.
The Federal however, speaks of a completely different problem, namely, by people who are excluded from the labor market in their home and are pushed into poverty. Countries undergoing radical economic change, often do not fully developed social system and many people stay with a wave of modernization on track. This in turn leads to poverty and crime. Then if these people actually are "escape", is indeed a different issue, but that's the point even with the development funds. The development money to help in the reconstruction of the system and then jump into the gap where there are no local safety nets. The problems are therefore trying to solve on the spot, before it comes to potential refugee effects.
course, one may ask whether the state (and to a foreign, or the EU) should intervene here /, or whether the emerging markets get it due to growth in self-control.
short term, but they will not solve everything. Moreover, these countries have got that from the EU rules and it was also placed pressure to open their markets and liberalize. Now, however, private foreign investors, who benefit from it (including Swiss) do not last in the development of social systems and the integration of "globalization losers" interested and it will be a while until either the growth solves problems by themselves (liberal logic) or has earned the state sufficient to establish a social security system (Social-democratic logic).
Either way, you can not expect from these countries that they take on the one hand, our system without them on the other hand also to help a social system and other necessary infrastructure (schools, etc.) to build. It will namely be squeezed a liberal system in accelerated form, for whose development the "old" Europe for much longer time and has had it developed in parallel, the "social market economy" and social partnerships.
Now you can ask at most, if Switzerland is to pay as non-EU actually has / and if so how much. She stands as a financially strong country with a high prosperity at any rate well, it's also volunteered to contribute to the development of these countries.
you wanted to make a cost / charge of the bilateral approach and all services (including costs and profits and balance of trade and customs agreements and transport corridors and so on) that the EU and Switzerland provide in their trade to each other, would the probably a more difficult task than the Milky book accounts of the SVP.
What is there than have to ask why the applicant is not easy and Switzerland, all of these lengthy negotiations saves, but where they must understand the majority of EU regulations anyway without being asked. The currency and banking secrecy to keep (and GB) and a little direct democracy and federalism (as Dänekmark) and otherwise just join. Obs would really be so much more expensive that? And whether we would lose as much independence? The longer the waiting Switzerland, the more it will cost a candidate in any case ...
