Free trade areas in Europe
EU, EFTA, CEFTA, CISFTA, GUAM, BAFTA / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"European free trade area" redirects here. For association of Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, see European Free Trade Association.
At present, there are six multi-lateral free trade areas in Europe, and one former free trade area in recent history. Note that there are also a number of bilateral free trade agreements between states and between trade blocks; and that some states participate in more than one free trade area.
