Briefing
The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) is an intergovernmental group of countries that seeks to promote free trade and economic integration between its members.
EFTA has four members: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are also members of the European Economic Area (EEA), along with all members of the European Union.
Switzerland is unique because it is a member of the EFTA but not a member of the EEA.
