The Swiss Parliament has approved Switzerland’s participation in the European fund dedicated to border management and visa policy. This means that Switzerland will contribute money to help other Schengen countries secure their external borders.
Switzerland’s participation in the fund is seen as a way to improve the security of the Schengen area as a whole. It also shows Switzerland’s commitment to cooperation with the EU on security matters.
In addition to participating in the EU fund, Switzerland is also taking steps to strengthen its own security measures. The Swiss Parliament has approved a motion that would give the Swiss government the authority to regulate data sharing among cantons. This would allow the government to create a comprehensive research platform for law enforcement.
These measures are designed to help Switzerland protect its citizens from terrorism and other security threats.
