You know, I made a mistake.  It's not EFTA, it's something called with
the acronym EÃS in Norway (not sure what it would be in English,
probably European Econonmic Cooperationsone?) Switzerland and Norway
is part of EFTA, but only Norway (and a couple of other countries) are
part of EEC(?).  As part of the EEC agreement, Norway promised to
implement all of EU's laws and directives.  From what I can gather,
Switzerland has recently agreed to a similar deal.

Interesting enough, so far, of the EU members, only Denmark and Sweden 
has implemented the directives into law, and they didn't have the format 
conversion as part of their law (as far as I can figure out).
