Biel/Bienne, Jura, Switzerland (TSR, Fre) – Canton Jura will leave the Dews (Western Switzerland Economic Development) group at the end of 2009 to join the two Basel cantons (Basel State, Basel City) for economic promotion. The canton, in a press release, expressed its disappointment at the results of its collaboration with Vaud, Valais and Neuchatel. Dews will in any event be undergoing a change, enlarging to cover the rest of French-speaking Switzerland, including Bern, Fribourg and Geneva before the end of 2009.
