The Treaty on the European Economic Area is based on a two-pillar structure (the European Union (EU) on the one hand, and three States of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)-EEA on the other). This agreement has transformed the legal, political and economic environment of Iceland and Norway over the last 30 years. The objective of this study is to review the experience of this successful European cooperation (extension of the internal market and fundamental freedoms to Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) covering, on the other hand, other recent legal issues in both countries that affect general principles of this legal system. (quasi primacy of European law over national law in case of conflict and State liability for breach of EEA Agreement). In this sense, the challenge of this agreement for Iceland and Norway remains to reconcile two different models: supranational integration (EU) and intergovernmental cooperation (EEA), preserving their sovereignty but ensuring reciprocity and the legislative and judicial homogeneity of the system as well as the rights of citizens and economic operators.
