Switzerland has already signed up to Schengen

BBC News

And the border posts are due to be dismantled in 2008

Do not bank on news item dated 2005. Govt changed, policy turns.

Bad 'R*st' arguments come out of what was originally a harmless question on part of HSMP3000. Basically we shall not use this forum or for that matter, any other shared forum for our personal generalized views on nationality.

Switzerland will not join Schengen next year.
