Yeah, the article refers to EU/EØS which includes the non-EU members of the EEA, of which some union regulations may apply and be ratified into national law, like on food safety, energy markets or data privacy, while others can be vetoed and do not apply, like on fishing where Norway wants to control quotas in its own waters.

Nevertheless, in cases where EEA countries are part of union law, decisions can be appealed to EU courts, and decisions there will apply to the whole area.

At least I think that’s how it works, it’s a bit messy at times.
