Abstract

Since its founding, EFTA has proved to be a solid platform pursuing free trade between its Member States and third countries. Pursuing the aim of establishing the best possible trade relations, one of EFTA's main tasks is to conclude free trade agreements, which has also increased the number of rules on State Aid. Concluding these agreements, it is not only necessary to take WTO law into account, but also considering the embedment of the various EFTA states into the European integration process. The aim of this article is to identify the influence of EU/EEA State Aid and WTO subsidy law on EFTA, its Member States and their relations with third countries. In comparing European and WTO subsidy regimes, conclusions for EFTA's future contract negotiations shall be drawn.
