Lo Spazio economico europeo (SEE) è stato istituito nel 1994 allo scopo di estendere le disposizioni applicate dall'Unione europea al proprio mercato interno ai paesi dell'Associazione europea di libero scambio (EFTA). La Norvegia, l'Islanda e il Liechtenstein sono membri del SEE, mentre la Svizzera fa parte dell'EFTA ma non del SEE.

Relations between the European Union and Russia remain strained after, late in June, the EU extended its sanctions against the country until 31 January 2018, citing a lack of progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreements aimed at ending the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

EFTA states have built up a network of 26 preferential trade agreements (PTAs) with 37 partners, compared to more than 120 trade agreements concluded by the EU with more than 45 partners. There are substantial differences between EU and EFTA PTAs in terms of scope and ambition. EFTA agreements still focus on traditional areas of market access, while the post-1990 EU agreements are more elaborate, values-driven, political and comprehensive. As a bloc, the EU has more leverage when it negotiates ...

Nations that have adopted individual transferable quotas (ITQs) in their fisheries generally have comparatively low discard rates. This is partly due to the attributes of the ITQ system and partly due to clever methods adopted by these nations in order to reduce discards in their fisheries.
