Four countries belong to the European Free Trade Association today
The European Free Trade Association, EFTA, is a free trade area for European countries outside the EU. Seven countries founded it in 1960, Britain among them, and Britain left in 1972 to join the European Communities the following year. Most of the other founders later left for the EEC or the EU as well, the last of them in 1995, and the membership has not changed since. As of 11 October 2026 EFTA has four members. Three of them are also in the European Economic Area, which gives them access to the EU single market; the fourth trades with the EU through bilateral agreements. The founders and the EEA each have their own module.
Name them all first. Then try the harder part: split the four into founders and later joiners.
