If Norway is not in the EU, how would such directives apply to them?
- kzrdude 3y agoNorway is part of EEA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area As they say, they are party to most of the EU regulations, but don't have voting rights to change them.
- lou1306 3y agoYeah I'd say if Norwegian goods (ore, in this case) can freely enter the common market, then they should be bound to the same regulations as EU mining companies, or they would have an unfair advantage. We'll see how the EU reacts to the verdict.
