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.
