Several member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have applied for admission into the European Community (EC). As the Single European Act and possibly also the Treaty on European Union are being implemented, the distribution of EC Council voting power takes on growing importance, since the range of issues to be decided by qualified majority votes increases considerably. Moreover, there are tendencies within the EC to render decisionmaking more transparent. Thus, the distribution of voting power will increasingly be a crucial aspect for the EC. The article shows that the power of larger EFTA states in an extended Council of Ministers would approximately equal the one of smaller EC states in the present constellation, while that of smaller EFTA states is comparable to the present voting power of Luxembourg.
