“Switzerland will begin restricting residence permits to citizens from 17 European Union countries, including the UK, on June 1st.  The measure, approved by the federal government and announced by the immigration department on Wednesday, was triggered by a safeguard clause in the freedom of movement agreement signed by the Swiss with the EU.  The clause allows for the Swiss to restrict immigrants from the EU unilaterally until May 31st, 2014.  It can be enacted if the number of residence and short stay permits issued to EU workers exceeds by at least 10 percent the average number of annual permits issued in the previous three years.”
