The EEA system as a blueprint: dynamic nature
The European Union (EU) would like the bilateral agreements with Switzerland to develop in a dynamic manner, following the model of the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement.
The EEA Agreement served as the European Union’s blueprint when it first suggested an overhaul of the institutional side of the Swiss-EU agreements. One of the EEA’s most typical institutional features is the dynamic nature of its law. There are mechanisms to ensure that, in the relevant areas, EEA law develops in line with the EU law from which it is derived.
