What’s the difference between the EU and the EEA?

162 views

Similar questions have been asked once or twice on this sub, but none of the answers really made any sense to me. The EEA seems like it’s basically the EU with a couple of extra nations in the mix, with basically the same rules and regulations. What actually differs between them?

The EEA includes EU countries and also Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. It allows them to be part of the EU ‘s single market. Switzerland is not an EU or EEA member but is part of the single market. This means Swiss nationals have the same rights to live and work in the UK as other EEA nationals
