    Switzerland applies most of the EU laws because they want access to the single market though, so for this purpose they might as well be in the EU.

      That’s not true though. Swiss laws differ wildly from EU laws in so many different fields including the markets. They have been in fights for tens of years over so many different things regarding regulations of the free market etc. you really can not consider Switzerland part of the EU.
