Emigration: Tunisia-Switzerland deal for helping youth
The agreement foresees the formation of 150 young Tunisians, for a period of about 18 months, at the conclusion of which, thanks to the attainment of a Swiss diploma, the young men will be able to carry out an internship in a Swiss firm and integrate within the job market.
The memorandum also plans to help out with accommodation in Switzerland for some Tunisian labour categories (such as businessmen and doctors). The agreement also plans to hand out a large sum (ten thousand dinars, about five thousand euros) which will be given by Swiss authorities to every Tunisian in an irregular situation and who is to be returned to his country, voluntarily or by force. The repatriating process will be carried out in small groups (2-3 maximum), "in the respect of human dignity and respecting the Bill of Human Rights." In 2011 the Swiss authorities received 2570 requests for political asylum from Tunisia, of which only two were accepted.
