Publisher's Synopsis
The EEA Agreement extends the internal market with its four freedoms - that is free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, as well as some horizontal and flanking policies, to the EFTA countries. The book aims to give readers an in-depth and practical understanding of the EEA rules governing the free movement of goods, namely: product coverage and rules of origin; technical barriers to trade; intellectual property; product liability; public procurement; competition, and state aid. These are all areas of crucial importance to economic operators throughout Europe. A chapter is also devoted to the situation in Switzerland after its decision not to ratify the Agreement.
