EEA (European Economic Area)

In short

The EU single market together with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

The EEA brings together the EU member states and three EFTA countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Together they form one single market.

When a rule says "EU/EEA", it also applies to these three countries. Example: Norway is in the EEA but not in the EU. Switzerland is not in the EEA, which is why many forms list it separately.
