That's not a precedent since Norway is an EEA/EFTA member and actually even part of Schengen. However, as provision for joining the EEA/EFTA, Norway agreed on free movement rules, something that the Brexit campaign has been campaigning against. They've been backtracking on that issue, but I'm still curious how they'll square that circle.
- Nursie 10y agoIt's a precedent for EU/non-EU borders being open. I agree it's not a good fit for the circumstances here, it's all rather uncertain. But it at least shows that not everything is black and white.
