Fun fact: Norway is not a member of the EU.
- usr1106 6y agoThey aren't, but they are in the EEA (European Economic Area). So in trade they mostly follow EU rules without participating in the political process. I don't how much of the lawful interception stuff is governed by EU directives. Even less whether that would affect EEA countries.
- cookiengineer 6y ago> Fun fact: Norway is not a member of the EU. Which I think is a shame. Sweden and Norway together would have a net positive influence on modernizing law across the EU. (I'm saying that as a German)
- alltakendamned 6y agoSweden already is part of the EU.
- cookiengineer 6y agoI'm just saying that Sweden, Norway and Finland together would make an awesome couple; given how they overcame legislative issues and how they modernized their countries against all odds (with all that happened after 1808). From a political perspective they're quick to adapt to a changing landscape.
- gerikson 6y agoSweden and Finland are both in the EU but AFAIK there's not much policy alignment between them with regards to EU legislation.
- beezle 6y agoNorway is also a member of NATO which could subject it to additional pressures (same applies to other member states).
