Since the early 1990s, the European Free Trade Association has established an extensive network of contractual free trade relations all over the world.

It is the goal of EFTA's third-country policy to safeguard the economic interests of its Member States, to support and reinforce the process of European and interregional integration, and to contribute to worldwide efforts to liberalise trade and investment.
