Financial Impact on EEA EFTA Contribution

• Decrease in focus on Cohesion and the

CAP - Outside of the scope of EEA EFTA Participation

• Increase in commitments towards Internal

Market initiatives and Programmes - areas where EEA EFTA Participates => Absolute Increase in EEA Contribution

Financial Impact on EEA EFTA Contribution

• UK’s departure - Currently carries around

15% of the EU28 GDP

• Recalculating the 2019 proportionality

factor on the basis of the EU27 GDP - EEA EFTA contribution = 2.83% (2.42% EU28) => Relative Increase in EEA Contribution.
