Iceland is Preparing for a Referendum to Join the EU

Iceland is preparing to hold a referendum on whether to resume negotiations for European Union membership, according to Foreign Minister Thorgérdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir.

This announcement, coupled with a recent survey showing that 42% of Icelanders support joining the EU while only 16% are opposed, suggests a likely positive outcome. At The Speaker of Europe, we welcome the prospect of Iceland’s potential membership in the EU.
