Switzerland’s future membership of the European Union’s Creative Europe framework programme has been thrown into doubt after yesterday’s vote in favour of new immigration curbs.
The measure was supported by 50.3% of the voters and risks creating a rift between Switzerland and the EU, its biggest trading partner.
In an initial reaction from Brussels, the European Commission declared on Sunday that the vote “goes against the principle of free movement of persons between the EU and Switzerland. The EU will examine the implications of this initiative on EU-Swiss relations as a whole.”

Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily last night (Sun), leading Swiss industry figures attending the Berlinale gave their initial reactions to the vote and expressed grave concerns for the future of the Swiss film industry’s relations with the rest of the European film-making community.
Catherine Anne Berger, the director of Swiss Films, described the signals given by the referendum vote as...
