EEAlovgivningen

EEAlovgivningen refers to the body of legislation that governs the European Economic Area (EEA). The EEA Agreement, signed in 1992, extends the internal market of the European Union to the member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) that are part of the EEA: Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. This means that these countries participate in the EU's internal market, allowing for the free movement of goods, services, capital, and persons.

EEAlovgivningen is therefore comprised of the EU's acquis communautaire related to the internal market, as well as the specific provisions of the EEA Agreement itself. This includes regulations and directives covering a wide range of areas such as competition law, consumer protection, environmental standards, and financial services. For businesses operating within the EEA, this legislation ensures a harmonized regulatory framework, facilitating cross-border trade and investment. The EFTA states incorporate relevant EU legislation into their national laws, thereby aligning their legal systems with those of the EU in these specific fields. The European Economic Area Joint Committee oversees the implementation and ongoing development of EEAlovgivningen.
