In relation to the Framework Agreement with the European Union, the question that is up for debate is whether the ECJ, as the sole judicial body in dispute settlement proceedings, would mean an unacceptable loss of sovereignty. This can be unilaterally disturbing, but can only be classified as a minor limitation of Switzerland’s sovereignty.
