Norwegians have voted against it when it's come up in the past. I think most have done so because cheap, foreign agricultural products on the market here would outcompete Norwegian agricultural products because production costs here are so high. So people here have wanted to keep Norwegian agriculture alive, even if that means they gotta pay more for food. Norway is a very wealthy country so for the average person, it's not really much of a problem.
For the same reason, taxation will go up on some imported agricultural products like cheese next year I believe, making it so that foreign cheese which would normally be cheap becomes quite expensive which in turn makes it so that Norwegian cheese become more competitive.
The EU in general does not like that as it means we'll buy less stuff from them.
