Simon Hirsbrunner was quoted in an article published in the Swiss German-language newspaper Aargauer Zeitung. The February 1 article discusses how in the past the implementation of bilateral trade agreements in Switzerland rarely involved a serious dispute with the EU.

Mr. Hirsbrunner explains in the article that “lately, there is a fundamental mistrust of Switzerland.”
