A ROAD / RAIL LINK WAS COMPLETED AND WAS CONSRUCTED INSIDE FRANCE WITH HIGH FENCES SO THAT A PASSENGER EITHER ARRIVING OR DEPARTING FROM SWITZERLAND WOULD TRAVEL ON THIS ROAD TO THE SWISS PART OF THE TERMINAL.

THIS APPLIED TO THE SWISS SIDE AS WELL, HOWEVER, EU CITIZENS ARE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL FREELY IN OR OUT OF SWITZERLAND
