Wasn't there EU-wide law about it?
- Switzerland isn't in the EU
  
  Ah. Right. It's easy to forget it.
  
  It is however in the schengen area. so regulatory alignment on a lot of issues is still required as if they were members
  
  Not really, Schengen is for travel purposes mostly. Switzerland applies many EU regulations but that's "voluntary".
