He mainly came to introduce himself personally, Fasel said after the meeting with representatives of the European Commission. After all, they would have to deal with each other a lot in the near future.

Now the work would be “significantly intensified,” he told a group of Swiss journalists. The new State Secretary continues the exploratory discussions that started under his predecessor Livia Leu. There is talk of a whole package of agreements.

If corresponding progress were made with the EU, but also in the discussions in Switzerland, the conditions for a draft negotiating mandate by the Federal Council would be good by the end of the year, Fasel continued. The 62-year-old took over the position of State Secretary on September 1.
