Preface
There are few monographs on the law of the European Economic Area. This Handbook seeks to rectify this situation by comprehensively addressing the breadth of law encompassed by the EEA Agreement for the benefit of practitioners, legal scholars and students alike. The extension of the European Union’s Single Market by the Agreement on the European Economic Area, in 1994, was a singular achievement. The Agreement binds 31 countries: the 28 EU Member States and 3 EFTA countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. This Handbook may prove to be a source on which to teach a course on litigation before national courts and the EFTA Court. Moreover, students may find it approachable and absorbing. Primarily, however, this work is intended to give practitioners and legal scholars a real understanding of the subject matter of the EEA Agreement, its nuances and the role it plays in the national legal orders of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Strong focus is put on the jurisprudence of the two EEA courts and in particular that of the EFTA Court. The book is divided into 12 parts and each chapter has been written by a judge, noted practitioner or eminent academic in their respective fields from across the EEA and beyond. Part I introduces the main features of the EEA Agreement and sets the Agreement into its historical context. Part II—Genesis of EEA Law—provides an overview
