This paper is focused on the institutions of the European
Economic Area(EEA) and the functions of them.The findings of
this thesis show as fllowing: In step with the further
developent of the Community in EEA revelent area, the
strucure of the institutions of the EEA based on that of the
European Union (EU). They are the origional institutions
of the EU, which are the Council, Commission, Parliament
and Court of Justice; the correspondent institutionsof the
European Free Trade Association(EFTA), which are EFTA
Surveillance Authority and EFTA Court; and the new
insititutions of the EEA, which are the EEA Council, EEa
Joint Committee, EEA Joint Parliamentary Committee, and EEA
Consultative Committee. Within the EFTA, in a way that
corresponds to the EC Commission and the ECJ, the ESA and
the EFTA Court are in charge of the surveillance and
juidical countrol with regard to the EFTA states'' fulfillment
of the obligations under the EEA Agreement. Wheras the EFTA
states don''t transfer their legislation power to EEA, the
real competence s of the EFTA corresponding institutions are
limited. With regard to the assessment into EU of the three
EFTA member states, what is the future of EEA? In fact, it
depends on the attitudes of the EEA member states. First of
all, they can keep the present strucure of EEA. Secondly, They
can treat it as a "waiting room" for those who willong
applying the accessment of EU. Anyway, Suprational
institutions have gradually become another important role in
the international society.It worths thinking about the future
development.
