| | The European Economic Area (EEA) - Overview |
 | | All new Community legislation in areas covered by the EEA is integrated into the Agreement through an EEA Joint Committee decision and subsequently becomes part of the national legislation of the EEA EFTA States. | | | The Agreement also includes areas which have an impact on the competitive position of enterprises, such as consumer protection, environment and certain elements of company law. | | | Where the EEA-EFTA States are admitted to participate in these programmes, they contribute to the budgets of the programmes in question and participate in the committees that manage them, but with no right to vote. |

| | However this is not true when one considers that financial reforms were already underway in many EFTA states prior to the start of negotiations, as these states had already recognised the need for such reforms for the sake of their own financial markets and for their industries generally. | | | Thus Switzerland's non-participation in the EEA arrangements at this stage will mean that a relatively large European financial market will not come under the scope of the financial services internal market legislation. | | | These requirements do not of course apply to EEA established companies as they are considered to be adequately covered by the requirements imposed on the parent company by the Directives. |
