All the national bars and law societies of the 28 members of the European Union and of the three members of the European Economic Area (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) are full members of the CCBE, together with Switzerland. In addition, bars and law societies from a number of other European countries are associate members (Council of Europe countries in official negotiations for accession to the European Union) or observer members (other Council of Europe countries). Like full members, the associate and observer members must adhere to the statutes of the CCBE and adopt the CCBE Code of Conduct.
