Euro losers get upset.

France and Germany have voiced concern about Switzerland's vote to bring back strict quotas for immigration from European Union countries.

Final results showed 50.3% voted in favour. The vote invalidates the Swiss-EU agreement on freedom of movement.

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the vote would cause "a host of difficulties for Switzerland".

France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said "it will hurt Switzerland to be inward-looking".

The initiative to hold the referendum was spearheaded by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), amid increasing debate across Europe about migration and the impact of free movement of people.

Exactly, that's called projection. Everyone should be inward looking. Why should anyone labour for another country's [and a corporation's] benefit? There's a reason why Switzerland is the freest country and that has the world's highest standard of living.

I am absolutely sick and tired of hearing Americans spouting off how great their country and system of Gov. is. Get a grip..... there's a reason why you never learned of the Swiss system of gov. in school.

I know it was a French guy who said it; but the US is the first to say how free they are.
