(108,903 posts)28. Norwegian minister Espen Eide urges UK caution on quitting EU
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20830201
Mr Eide said Norway had 'limited scope' in EU decision-making
Norway's foreign minister has urged the UK to assess the advantages of staying in the European Union, rather than consider leaving.
Norway is not in the EU but has access to the single market. UK Eurosceptics use it as a model for how the UK could relate to the EU from outside.
But Foreign Minister Espen Eide said Oslo had "limited scope for influence".
"We are not at the table when decisions are made," he told Radio 4's The World This Weekend.
