The June 9 vote in favour of tightened up asylum laws is the first in a series of referendums on the welcome that the Swiss offer foreigners. The Confederation, which was once open to immigrants, may under pressure from the crisis, redefine its identity and isolate itself. 
To resolve the Syrian conflict, Europeans, Russians and Americans are reviving the time-honoured policy of promoting grand peace conferences. But this time, the local situation is beyond their control. 
Following the European Commission decision to tax imports of Chinese solar panels, Beijing has decided to launch a probe on European wine imports. And if the 27 do not get the message, other retaliatory measures will follow, warns the Chinese official newspaper. 
Intervene or stay out? Like the conflict between Franco and the Republicans in the 1930s, the Syrian civil war poses a dilemma for Europeans – follow your conscience, or accept the diktats of Realpolitik. And every massacre alters the arguments. 
The EU's 27 member states decided on May 27 to lift the embargo on the supply of arms to Syrian rebels, while also supporting a peace conference planned for mid-June in Geneva. The news is welcomed by Tageszeitung, which feels that failing to take action is not an option. 
The death of more than 400 people in a Bangladeshi clothing factory once again highlights the appalling conditions in factories where western manufacturers produce clothes. The EU is right to pressure local authorities, but should also probe other countries.

Moldova is preparing to install check points at the border with its breakaway republic of Transnistria, while Russia and the Ukraine hope to speed up negotiations on settling this 20-year-old conflict. The European Union may find itself dragged into a diplomatic standoff. 
The EU's Cyprus solution reveals how it wants to limit Russian influence in the Mediterranean and crack down on international tax havens. While the rescue plan may be a victory for the EU, Moscow could be the long term winner, warns a Czech journalist. 
Russia, despite owning a large chunk of the cash deposited in the island’s banks, is resisting the increasingly desperate pleas for aid from the Cypriot government. Instead of rushing in, the Great Bear is sitting back and awaiting the Europeans’ next move. - 1 of 11
