    It’s hypocrit. They don’t want to be in the EU because they are “so called neutral”, but now the suddenly are using the EU logo because it suits them. Don’t get me wrong: I would like to have SUI into the EU, but then they have to go for the full package and not illegaly clame they are EU, while the’re not.

        The title is misleading. “Some Swiss companies are using the Europe label.” Yes, Switzerland is part of Europe, but not part of the EU. But… you’re welcome to join the EU as a full member.

    They are not in the EU (that’s EU’s flag) and I for sure wouldn’t want today’s Switzerland anywhere close to joining the EU.

      It would probably be better if they joined the EU. They could stop being an endless drain on the EU economy by being a tax paradise stationed right in the middle.

        Having other “special interests” like Malta and Cyprus in the EU is a luxury we cannot afford, imho, especially given the support all of these countries show for Russian interests.

        Exactly. I wish Switzerland would just join the EU and remove that hole from every EU map.
