EFTA: How it works for the Member States and promotes free trade globally

This two-hour seminar is intended to provide professionals with a thorough understanding of the EFTA Convention and EFTA's global free trade relations.

 

The EFTA States jointly negotiate free trade agreements (FTAs) with partners outside the European Union in order to strengthen their competitive position and increase market access for their products. As a result, economic operators in the EFTA countries enjoy access to one of the world’s largest networks of preferential trade relations, which continues to expand thanks to an ambitious agenda of negotiations. Today, EFTA has 27 FTAs covering 38 countries and territories outside the EU.
