"I would first of all like to congratulate my colleague, Cristian Preda, for all his efforts in drafting this report. Adopting it almost one year after Iceland submitted its application for accession sends out a message of support to this country’s efforts towards integration.
I would like to point out that Iceland has already been cooperating with the European Union for a number of years as part of the European Economic Area since 1994 and of the Schengen area since 1996. As a result, this country will manage to implement European legislation fairly quickly.
I think that Iceland’s accession is of strategic importance in terms of strengthening the EU’s role in the Arctic Region and North Atlantic. At the same time, Iceland would guarantee its stability, while the European Union would include a country which, although currently in a crisis, has a market economy and democratic system."@en1
