Objectives > 5.1 Through the conclusion of an InstA, Switzerland will consolidate its access to the single market and the bilateral approach in general. Furthermore, it will allow for the development of this approach through the conclusion of new market access agreements. In the event that no agreement is reached on the InstA, Switzerland is developing timely and concrete measures in the sectors of cooperation with the EU in order to cushion any negative effects. > 5.2 Switzerland will conclude the ongoing negotiations with the EU, in particular in the areas of electricity, food safety and public health, and will secure its participation in EU programmes, particularly in research and innovation. > 5.3 Switzerland will utilise its Schengen/Dublin association to safeguard its interests in the fight against crime and irregular migration and in border control at European level. It will enhance the security of Switzerland and Europe by adopting and implementing further developments of the Schengen acquis. > 5.4 To ensure the coherence and consistency of its EU policy, Switzerland will examine its foreign policies where appropriate in terms of how they relate to the core objectives of EU policy, establish instruments of coordination and engage in regular dialogue with the EU on all aspects of bilateral cooperation. In bilateral relations with EU member states, there will be greater coordination between the various dossiers, which will be systematically coordinated with the core objectives of EU policy. > 5.5 Existing mutual rights and obligations between Switzerland and the United Kingdom will be legally safeguarded as far as possible within the scope of the Mind the Gap strategy.
