European Economic Area (the single market of the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein)
European Economic Area. The EEA Agreement went into force in 2004. It allows Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, who are not members of the EU but who are members of the European Free Trade Area, to participate in the internal European market without assuming the full responsibilities of EU membership. The EEA gives them the right to be consulted by the European Commission during the formulation of Community legislation, but not the right to a voice in decisionmaking. All new EC legislation in areas covered by the EEA is integrated into the EEA Agreement through an EEA Joint Committee decision and subsequently becomes part of the national legislation of the EFTA countries that signed the EEA. The EEA Agreement is concerned with the four fundamental pillars of the internal European market, i.e., freedom of movement of goods, persons, services and capital. See “European Free Trade Association” and “European Union.
