Well, they can have the same deal that Norway or Switzerland have with the EU. The problem is that to have that deal they have to agree to be part of Shengen Area
- digi_owl 10y ago1. Switzerland is not part of the EEA, they have their own agreements with EU. 2. It is quite possible to opt out of EU regulations while part of the EEA. But the Norwegian government do not have the balls to do so. 3. Norway had an older agreement with Denmark and Sweden about passport-free travel. It was not Shengen compatible. So either Norway had to join Shengen, or Norwegians had to get used to getting passports to visit said nations.
- upstandingdude 10y agoI run a business and I do not ship to Switzerland simply because the hassle is too big and there are hard to calculate risks involved. It is just not feasible. Dealing inside the EU is pretty much the same as it would be within borders.
