Swiss Textiles

In our comprehensive report on the EU, we have compiled the key arguments put forward by the Swiss textile and clothing industry in favour of stable relations. Alongside key figures and charts at a glance, video messages from business leaders highlight the industry’s perspective. All of this is also available to download.

The cross-border Swiss textile cluster and close trade links depend on well-regulated relations with the EU. Whether for the import and export of goods, skilled workers, participation in research and development, or to keep red tape to a minimum for businesses.

Swiss Textiles unreservedly supports the agreements with the EU and calls for a streamlined and business-friendly implementation within Swiss legislation. We are actively involved in the preparatory committees and in the councils. You can also download a PDF summary of all the arguments in favour of the Bilateral Agreements III in German and French . The Federal Council’s message on the Bilateral Agreements III, which it submitted to Parliament on 13 March 2026, can be found here.
