      Yeah, they are part of the European Economic Area, but not part of the EU proper. Same as Iceland. The main reason for opposing full membership for the longest time has actually been fishing rights, which are often more strict in the EU

        Not necessarily more strict, but joining the Union would open the waters for European fisheries which is politically unpopular.
