Agreement on the European Economic Area : a commentary

Synopsis

The provisions of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) determine the relations of the EFTA States Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein with the EU and its Member States. On the basis of EEA, these three countries are largely integrated into the single market of the EU. The EEA is also discussed as a possible model for the EU and UK relations after the Brexit.

Article by article, the new commentary outlines the importance of the EEA for legal practice, including all extensive annexes and protocols. There is also included both the essential secondary law of EEA and cross-links to EU law. Moreover, the commentary involves the current status of EEA law in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, taking legislation and jurisprudence into account.

The commentary focuses on the EEA rules on free movement of goods, movement of persons, services, capital, transport policy and competition law. In addition, the commentary intensively discusses the responsibilities and procedures of both the European Surveillance Authority and EFTA Court and the complementary agreement between Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
