EEA  歐洲經濟區 European Economic Area 

歐洲經濟區（EEA）在歐洲自由貿易聯盟（EFTA）與歐盟（EU）達成協議後，於1994年1月1日生效，旨在讓歐洲自由貿易聯盟的成員國，無需加入歐盟也能參與歐洲的單一市場。

The European Economic Area (EEA), which was established via the EEA Agreement in 1992, is an international agreement which enables the extension of the European Union's single market to non-EU member parties.[6] The EEA links the EU member states and three European Free Trade Association (EFTA) states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) into an internal market governed by the same basic rules. These rules aim to enable free movement of labour, goods, services, and capital within the European Single Market, including the freedom to choose residence in any country within this area. The EEA was established on 1 January 1994 upon entry into force of the EEA Agreement. The contracting parties are the EU, its member states, and three EFTA member states.[7]
