Britain to remain in the European Economic Area in a Norwegian-style trade deal.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned, propose that the best way for Britain to prosper outside of the European Union is to be a part of the European Economic Area, where people can continue to enjoy the opportunities and prosperity the EU provides while reducing the burden of EU fees and regulations.

The European Economic Area consists of the countries which are able to trade with each other as part of the single market. This area contains the EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The European Economic Area would facilitate free trade and European cooperation in multiple areas, including science and technology, while allowing Britain to determine its own agriculture, fishery and foreign policy.
