Norway is not in the EU, so clearly that hasn't anything to do with the stats.
- fakedang 6y agoIsn't Norway in the EEA, hence has to contribute to the fund regardless?
- varjag 6y agoNorway follows the EU regulations without right to vote on them and has access to common market (but not the customs union). It contributes only to EU programs it elected to participate in: largely security, humanitarian and educational.
- Number157 6y agoI said Nordic, not Norway. Also the EU isn't actually something you are either a member of, or not. There are many treaties and Norway is a signatory to many of them. As a result, Norway does in fact contribute to the EU.
- varjag 6y agoI said Norway because it's a Nordic country which is not a EU member, and serves as a counterexample to your statement. It in fact does not contribute to the EU programs it didn't elect to willingly, that's one of the perks of EEA. https://www.regjeringen.no/en/topics/european-policy/Norways-relations-with-Europe/financil-contribution/id684932/ https://www.regjeringen.no/en/topics/european-policy/Norways...
