Sorry, we were talking about 2 different things here. You're right, Sigurdsson, as an EEA Citizen does not need a work permit to work in the EU. However, I think he's counted as 'non-EU' for squad list purposes, although I am not sure on that.
On the flip side, both Switzerland and Liechtenstein impose quotas on EU Citizens working in their countries, which is what the UK would be able to do if it were to leave the EU. As a member of the EEA, however, it is not able to differentiate between EU Member States in regard to applying such a quota - therefore, a French national would have to be treated the same as a Spaniard, Maltese, Pole, German, whatever. Membership of the EEA does not by any means guarantee that EU Citizens would not require work permits, although (as in many countries) there would probably be a certain number of dedicated work permits for 'culturally significant' workers.
Sorry fella you are wrong. Switzerland does not have any quotas for EU countries since the acceptance of many agreements including ,for example Schengen. Free movement for EU Citizens .
Me and the Swiss government it would seem: https://www.bfm.admin.ch//bfm/en/home/t ... -efta.html
Quotas in place since June 2013 for all of the EU, initially for 1 year, but set to be extended after February's referendum (google "Swiss popular initiative "Against mass immigration""), and possibly made permanent within 3 years.
