Yup No not in the EU but they are in the EEC meaning they have unrestricted trade access to the EU including the 3 freedoms.

I mentioned each of these have a varying degree of integration to the EU. Being in the EU means there is representation of which Switzerland, Norway and Iceland do not have.

This isn't a great situation though as these places effectively enact EU legislation without representation and nearly pay full fees for EU membership (per person).

yes that is true
