“…Although this article primarily focuses on the EEA Agreement, it should be noted that there are other instances, such as in relation to Schengen rules, where the EEA EFTA States are not considered third countries either. In fact, the CJEU has on more than one occasion emphasized the special status of the EEA EFTA States in its rulings demonstrating that it sees the EEA EFTA States as insiders rather than outsiders due to the EEA Agreement and the assortment of other agreements they have concluded with the EU (Fredriksen, 2020; Peers, 2014; Rennuy and van Elsuwege, 2014). Thus, the case put forward by the EEA EFTA States that they should be exempted from export restrictions on PPE and vaccines due to their special status was arguably a strong one as will be explored further in subsequent sections.…”

The COVID‐19 crisis provides important examples whereby Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (the EEA EFTA States) deemed it necessary to influence the content of EU rules. Despite participating in the internal market through the EEA Agreement, they were not initially excluded from the EU's restrictions on the export of personal protective equipment and later the export of vaccines against COVID‐19, and they sought to reverse these decisions. This article explores how the EEA EFTA States influenced EU policy in this regard and which methods proved to be most effective. Did the nature of the COVID‐19 crisis have an impact on EU decision‐making processes as well as the methods and channels used by the EEA EFTA States? The EEA EFTA States’ relationship with the EU is also examined as it relates to their ability to influence EU legislation and the legitimacy of such influence.

This article discusses the democratic implications of third country incorporation for the EU and for third countries. The more the EU transforms sovereignty in an open and inclusive manner, the greater the scope for third country presence, participation and influence. For the EU, the greater the presence and influence of third countries, the more pressing the democratic incongruence. For third countries, the better included and the more they participate, the less incongruent their affiliation, and the more similar to members they become. These considerations depend on how the EU structures its relations with third countries and the nature of the EU's political order. It is in the EU's internal market and flanking areas that the pooling and sharing of sovereignty is the most pronounced. The conundrum facing third countries and the EU is that the internal market is central to the EU's constitution as a political system.
