Britain and EFTA


Will The United Kingdom rejoin EFTA ?..

The United Kingdom was a founding member of EFTA in 1960 until it joined the EU, and EFTA still exists for Free Trade in Europe, for non EU members.

The European Free Trade Association is an intergovernmental trade organisation and free trade area consisting of four remaining European states: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.

 

It seems to give what most people think the EU should do… Namely free trade in Europe, without the loss of sovereignty.
