"I voted for this draft resolution since I warmly welcome the opening of membership negotiations with Iceland. Indeed, that country has a solid democratic culture within which the defence of human rights and the protection of individual liberties have already been applauded by the European Union. Membership is as much in Iceland’s interest as our own. For example, Iceland can serve as a good example to the EU in terms of environmental policy. I readily acknowledge that some points require further clarification. In particular, greater independence of the judicial system will be necessary, as well as a reduction in the rates of unemployment and inflation, which are still too high. However, Iceland has shown a clear willingness to address remarks made by institutions and that is why I welcome this initiative by the Council to open membership negotiations."@en1
