Actually, the Swiss government only has to approve the deal at its meeting on Friday. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wants to arrive in Bern on Saturday and announce the political agreement on the so-called package solution with binding rules for Swiss access to the EU internal market and the new market access agreement with President Viola Amherd. At least that is the plan. Because things have gone wrong with Switzerland before: in 2021, the Swiss government backed out at the last minute and left the negotiating table.
