Do it, already!
Naville told swissinfo
: "In recent years, Switzerland’s strong focus on Europe has been detrimental to its relationship with the US. The last time a [Swiss cabinet minister] was received at the White House was in the 1980s."
"After 15 years of European focus, the moment is now right to place the economic relationship between the US and Switzerland on a solid contractual basis."
He said the "window of opportunity" for a deal was limited, as the Trade Promotion Authority of President George Bush – under which he can send legislation to Congress on a "take-it-or-leave-it" basis – will expire on June 1, 2007.
The effective deadline is earlier – new trade initiatives will be difficult to launch after the US mid-term elections in November 2006.
Naville added: "Switzerland must make the first moves itself. Anything the Americans say can be interpreted as generic encouragement, but the ball is in the Swiss court."

"The big change that "experience" causes in your brain is learning that you need to
solve people's problems
."
"A few steps before a Rubik's Cube is solved, it still looks like a mess. I think there are a lot of undergrads whose brains are in a similar position: they're only a few steps away from being able to start successful startups, if they wanted to, but they don't realize it. They have more than enough technical skill. They just haven't realized yet that the way to create wealth is to make what users want, and that employers are just proxies for users in which risk is pooled."
