Since launching trade negotiations with Switzerland in May 2023, the UK has held four rounds of negotiations on an enhanced Free Trade Agreement. The fourth round took place from 4 to 8 March 2024. Discussions were productive, provisionally closing the chapter on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This will help UK SMEs expand their operations more easily into the Swiss market.<\/p>
<\/p>
The fifth round of negotiations is scheduled to take place in early summer where we will look to make further positive progress.<\/p>
<\/p>
We continue to keep Parliament and the public informed through regular parliamentary<\/a> and GOV.UK<\/a> updates.<\/p>"}
