Actually the opposite is true.
By joining the EU they have voting power and influence over their own destiny which they lack under those agreements. Currently they must accept EU rules without being able to influence them.
- coliveira 2y ago> they must accept EU rules without being able to influence them No, they don't really must accept all rules. Only the ones that will benefit them. This will cease once they join the EU.
- dkjaudyeqooe 2y agoThey have negotiated exceptions, but they can also do that as EU members.

The EEA states (Norway, Lichtenstein, and Iceland) indeed must take all legislation that’s part of the EEA into their domestic law. Sometimes directives and regulations have cave outs for countries but they’re rare. Implementation is overseen by the EFTA Surveillance Authority who can sue members in the EFTA court.
