The share of Switzerland's imports and exports subject to most favoured nation treatment is low (less than 20%) due to the dominance (albeit declining) of the EU in Swiss foreign trade, but also as a consequence of Switzerland's comprehensive network of FTAs with non-EU partners. Most of these agreements have been concluded within the framework of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), supplemented by important bilateral FTAs with Japan and China.
