BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Tuesday against rushing to retaliate against Switzerland for its vote to curb immigration, saying Europe's own interests were best served by waiting to see how the Swiss implement the referendum result.

"It can't be that because one side did something in one specific area that the other side says nothing works in other areas," Merkel said after talks with Swiss President Didier Burkhalter, who is also the country's foreign minister.
