Abstract

Die Schweiz und die Europäische Union (EU) verbindet eine enge bilaterale Zusammenarbeit, wobei im Zeitablauf eine graduelle Verschiebung von einer reinen Handelsintegration (Freihandelsabkommen von 1972) über eine stärker wirtschaftliche Integration (Bilaterale I) bis hin zu politischen Integrationsschritten (Bilaterale II) zu beobachten ist. Nachdem die Verhandlungen zu einem institutionellen Rahmenabkommen zwischen der Schweiz und der EU an verschiedenen Uneinigkeiten gescheitert sind, stellt sich für die Schweiz die Frage, ob sie die bilateralen Beziehungen zur EU angesichts der gemeinsamen Interessen nicht primär im wirtschaftlichen Bereich vertiefen sollte. Diese Studie berechnet die ökonomischen Auswirkungen eines modernisierten Freihandelsabkommens zwischen der Schweiz und der EU als Basisszenario und vergleicht die Effekte mit einer kompletten Desintegration (nur WTO-regelbasiert) sowie einer kompletten Integration (EU-Beitritt) als Referenzszenarien. Die Studie zeigt, dass sich auch mit einem modernen, zusätzlichen Freihandelsabkommen als souveränitätsschonende Alternative zur weiteren politischen Integration in die EU bedeutende Wohlstandsgewinne erzielen lassen. Eine solche Vertiefung des Marktzugangs müsste in beidseitigem Interesse sein: Ein modernisiertes Freihandelsabkommen erhöht den Wohlstand für beide Volkswirtschaften und wurde auch bereits im Entwurf des institutionellen Rahmenabkommens skizziert. Zugleich wurden die Konditionen des CETA-Abkommens von der EU unterzeichnet, was die Umsetzbarkeit eines ähnlichen Abkommens als praktikabel erscheinen lässt.
