Abstract

In the context of the EEA Agreement the notion of ‘opting out’ (also frequently referred to as ‘a right of reservation’ or even ‘a right to veto’) usually refers to a perceived right for the EFTA States to refuse the inclusion of new EU legislation which they, according to Article 102 EEA, have a duty to make part of the Agreement by unanimous agreement by way of a decision of the EEA Joint Committee. The refusal by only one EFTA State is sufficient to block such a decision and will have effect for them all. This chapter identifies a number of possible causes of such conflicts and explains how the Agreement provides for their resolution and the consequences of a failure thereof.
