  • International Relations Outside the European Union: Norway and Switzerland
    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 80/16 4 November 2016 NIAR 401-16 Michael Potter and Anne McDowell International Relations Outside the European Union: Norway and Switzerland 1 Introduction This briefing paper has been prepared to support the Committee of the Executive Office in its scrutiny of the Executive in its actions in relation to the exit of the UK from the European Union. The paper takes two non-EU Member States in Europe – Norway and Switzerland – and examines how they interact with the EU and internationally. While the Prime Minister has ruled out a specific ‘Norway model’ or ‘Switzerland model’1, there are elements of each example that may be considered during the process of negotiation with the EU. 1 ‘Theresa May's Conservative conference speech: Key quotes’, BBC News 2 October 2016: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk- politics-37535527. Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 401-16 Briefing Paper 2 The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the European Economic Area (EEA) This section briefly describes the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Summaries of these arrangements, alongside other options following the UK withdrawal from the EU, are available in the paper Possible models for the UK-EU relationship post ‘Brexit’2. EFTA is an intergovernmental organisation set up for the promotion of free trade and economic integration among its member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland3. EFTA was founded in 1960 as an agreement between European states seeking the benefits of free trade without full membership of the then European Economic Community (EEC).
