Norway may block UK return to EFTA

"Norway could block any UK attempt to rejoin the European Free Trade Association, the small club of nations that has access to the European single market without being part of the EU.

Senior Norwegian government members are to hold talks with David Davis, the Brexit minister, in the next few weeks.

Some Brexit supporters have suggested that EFTA would be one way of retaining access to the single market while honouring the referendum mandate to leave the EU."

This story was also run, almost word for word, in the French Figaro.
