A bilateral agreement between the European Union and Switzerland on cooperation in the field of statistics came into force on 1 January 2007.
The agreement enables Switzerland to access pan-European statistical data for the countries within the European Economic Area (EEA), of which Switzerland is not a member, and guarantees the comparability of the statistics. As a result, Switzerland and the three other EFTA Member States are included in the European statistical system.
