Borten Moe believes brexit will mean the end of the EEA Agreement
The Center party deputy leader Ola Borten Moe believes Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and the UK will form a common front against the EU if Britain is leaving the union.
In that case, the EEA Agreement, as we know it today will disappear, Borten Moe told Nationen.
– I say this because there has been no alternative to EEA earlier. Now it will be. Britain and the European Union will obviously have to find a solution and find it instantly. Everyone will be dependent on that. It’s going to change the Norwegian debate, Borten Moe says about a possible British EU withdrawal.
The British will soon be holding a referendum on whether the country should withdraw from the EU. Recently, supporters of a so-called brexit have been in the lead, and everything is set for an election thriller.
– It seems that things are going to be more exciting than expected in the UK. If the referendum ends with a brexit, we will have a new debate about the Norwegian connection to the EU here in Norway, whether you think it’s good or bad that the British are leaving the EU, Borten Moe says.
