EFTA attempts to eliminate tariffs on goods produced in and traded among member states. Current members are Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland. Its headquarters in Geneva and it has offices in Brussels and Luxembourg. EFTA has developed relations with a large number of non-EU countries, many of which have resulted in free-trade agreements.
