On the subject of Norway, I don't think they have any veto on the UK having a "Norway like" agreement, which is really the only thing that has ever been on the table. I will confess that I haven't checked the IPO register to confirm this.
Allow me to clarify that for you.
Whilst Norway (and other non-eu countries) have the right to do their own deals with the UK, being in the EEA comes with strings attached as to what they can offer.
My partner's country is also in the EEA, and not only did they have a 'Brexit department'* set up within 6 months of the vote, there is now a document sitting there wanting to give their citizens and our citizens reciprocal rights EXACTLY the same as exist right now - not the second class arrangements currently on the table with the EU.
(I know this because a very good friend works in their government and has seen it!)
But the problem is in order for it to be put into force after any other deal is done, the EEA/EU agreement has one issue that can't be overriden - freedom of movement!
And apparently that is what quitters hate the most about our current arrangements, so it will probably be filed away whilst a different trade deal is negotiated.
Money before people as usual!
*Interestingly I have also sampled their test three area passport control process, being trialled should a no-deal occur.
