c) 1 and 2
d) 1, 2 and 3
Answer »Answer: (b)
Switzerland is not a member of the European Union. Under the Swiss system of direct democracy, an actual application to join the EU would entail a national referendum and a majority of voters and cantons in favour of joining.
The union is perceived as falling short in democratic institutions. Switzerland’s frequently used system of initiatives and referenda would need drastic reform and curtailment to comply with EU rules.
In February 2014, the Swiss voters narrowly accepted a referendum limiting the freedom of movement of EU citizens to Switzerland.
