The body of European law extends to the European Economic Area (EEA), shaping policies and legislation of EEA countries, most prominently in relation to the internal market and free movement of goods, services, labour and capital. As a consequence, regulatory and enforcement practices of national and local governmental bodies in not only the EU Member States, but also in the EFTA countries, which have ratified the EEA Treaty, have to be adapted accordingly to respect the requirements of the European law.
