Incorrect: it's not a member, yet:

Switzerland took part in negotiating the European Economic Area agreement with the European Union. It signed the agreement on May 2, 1992, and submitted an application for accession to the EU on May 20, 1992. However, a Swiss referendum held on December 6, 1992 rejected EEA membership. As a consequence, the Swiss government decided to suspend negotiations for EU accession until further notice. Its application remains open.
