Why not? Makes sense for quick connections from Germany to Italy

Switzerland isn’t in the EU?

Part of Schengen, part of the European Free Trade Association, signed a lot of bilateral treaties and enacted a lot of EU legislation, contributed to EU projects.

The Swiss electorate voted against becoming part of the EU, but the EU's a huge market so Switzerland is quite integrated with the EU while still being independent.

Norway isn't part of the EU either, but they're in a similar position as Switzerland, which is probably why they're also part of this proposal.

Switzerland is also a lot more integrated than GB. Remember when we discussed hard vs. soft brexit? Soft Brexit would have left GB in a similar state like Switzerland and Norway. But we got a hard brexit.

That is correct. That’s why it has a different color than the EU countries
