Switzerland:Swiss-German border agreement
artdoc August=1994

On 20 July the German State Secretary Kurt Schelter met the
General Secretary of the Swiss Federal Ministry of Justice and
Police, Armin Walpen, in the border town of Weil am Rhein.
Germany proposed yet another agreement between the two countries
covering police and judicial cooperation to guarantee the
`interior security' of EU borders against immigrants. The
agreement allows for the exchange of Swiss policemen with the
German BKA (Bundeskriminalamt) and of border police. Mr Schelter
also raised the question of the Dublin Agreement on asylum-
seekers which is due to come into full operation on 1 May 1995
and for which there is a Parallel Convention open to non-EU
members like Switzerland to sign. Kommittee Schluss mit dem
Schnüffelstaat, Bern, Switzerland.
