It's true.

The countries which uses Euro or have some agreements with EU (ie
Switzerland) has reduced all costs for international money transfer in
Europe. Switzerland has followed this way at the end of this year.

A money transfer in Italy from Switzerland, for example, some months
ago has had a cost of 5 CHF, today some banks apply the some costs of
internal money transfer.
