"Madam President, I voted in favour of the resolution. I think it is excellent that the Commission has made such rapid progress in commencing accession talks since the application came in. Iceland’s membership would strengthen cooperation in the Arctic region and the region’s importance in EU policy. Iceland, however, will ultimately decide itself whether it becomes a member. It is one of the world’s oldest democracies and is a place where democracy works.
The talks are nevertheless becoming troublesome. Agriculture, regional policy and, in particular, whaling – commercial whaling and sales of whale products mainly to Japan – are aspects which the EU needs to consider as to how to make headway in these negotiations."@en1
