Furthermore, Italy will ban the products untill it receives an assurance from Switzerland for the free movement of people between the two countries.
Swiss banks sell mutual funds and structured products for wealthy customers in the EU countries. However, they are not engaged in mortgage lending outside Switzerland.
Reuters quoted de Watteville as that, "We have to find a solution to overcome this obstacle."
