On June, 5, 2005 the Swiss people has voted for the Schengen and the Dublin EU agreements, in spite of a general scepticism in Europe. The next Helvetic referendum is due for September, 25, 2005 requiring confirmation of the free circulation within their country for the citizens of all 25 EU countries. Switzerland which is not willing to join the EU hopes to benefit from the free circulation of its nationals without the status of a full membership. Swiss citizens residing in Greece have recently seen their status considerably improved with access to the EU 5 year residence permit and procedural facilitation.
