Further decisions on the EU treaty package have been taken by the House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs Committee. A majority has endorsed Switzerland’s contribution of CHF193 million ($232 million) to the Erasmus+ exchange programme for next year.
The committee recommended, by 16 votes to nine, that the House of Representatives approve the federal resolution on participation in the Erasmus+ programme in 2027 without amendments. This was announced by the parliamentary services on Friday. Prior to this, the committee had to rule on several motions to decline to consider the matter.
