Narrative:

We were level at assigned altitude of FL220, heading 305 degree. TCAS TA 11 O'clock, 5 mi, 600 ft, climbing. Traffic closed to 11 O'clock, 3 mi, 300 ft climbing. Captain started right turn. Traffic passed at 9 O'clock, 1 mi, coalt. No visual contact. Geneva center reported that VFR traffic was in our area at time of incident.
