Iceland, which submitted its application for accession to the European Union to the Council on 16 July 2009, should not, of course, be put at a disadvantage in relation to other accession candidates or potential accession countries. In the light of this, I have voted in favour of adapting and amending the existing regulation on pre-accession assistance. As we know, Iceland is already a member of the EEA and is a very well developed nation, which is why payments granted from such assistance should be limited. In general, however, this pre-accession instrument should be reviewed again. For example, it is far from clear why non-European countries, such as Turkey, receive hundreds of millions of euros of European taxpayers’ money, money that is urgently needed in Europe."@en1
