    Aren’t Iceland and Norway in the Schengen area, but not actually in the EU?

      And a bunch of other related agreements (Norway at centre left):

      Arguably, as it has worked out, being in the EU is like the capstone of aligning with Europe in those other ways. To get closer to Europe you get closer to joining the EU, even if you never actually do.
