In practical terms howeverNorway ceded extensive sovereignty and at presentmakes a net contribution to the EU budget on par withthe Nordic member states. As Norway has norepresentation where decisions are made at the EUlevel, the democratic deficit inherent to the EEA isthus far bigger than that of the EU itself. Inaddition to being a first time mapping of theNorwegian public sphere on EU matters this bookexplores whether this democratic deficit is mirroredin public contention in the Norwegian public sphere,or if it is complemented by a publicity deficit.The main findings are that Norwegian state actors aredisplayed as the major losers in the opportunitystructure offered by the EEA, being under pressureboth from the EU level as well as from Norwegiannon-state actors using EU legislation as theirjustificatory basis. Further, the loss of practicalsovereignty and democratic control is, together withmost other contentious EU issues, explicitlyunder-communicated by Norwegian state actors.
