Swiss voters have approved an expanded labor deal with the European Union that allows Romanians and Bulgarians to work in Switzerland, according to AP. The referendum result ends fears that a «no» vote would have jeopardized other Swiss-EU agreements on issues such as trade and traffic control. Switzerland is not a member of the 27-nation bloc, but allows EU citizens to live and work in the country in return for Swiss nationals being able to do the same in the EU. Tallied results show 59.6 percent of Swiss voted Sunday in favor of expanding the labor accord and admitting Romanian and Bulgarian workers. Majorities in 22 of Switzerland's 26 cantons backed the accord.
