"Mr President, talking of enlargement encourages optimism. No Member State wishes to leave the Union; on the contrary, there are a number of states who wish to join, Iceland among them. I welcome its desire for integration and the rapid pace of adhesion negotiations.
I say adhesion because that is what it is, adhering to and accepting the European Union
. In the negotiations, efforts are continuing to define the adaptations that the candidate country needs to make to adopt the
and the timescale for this.
In the Commission’s report of October 2011, we were told that as yet, there had been no changes to Icelandic legislation on fisheries, and that it is not in line with the EU
nor are the current restrictions on foreign investment in fisheries consistent with the
: they infringe fundamental principles, like the right of establishment and the free movement of capital and services.
Iceland is a major fishing nation, like my own country, Spain and my region, the Autonomous Community of Galicia. Iceland’s accession will strengthen the fisheries sector within the Union, but, Mr President, it cannot remain outside EU law in this sector. I am asking the Commission to pay the closest attention to this issue."@en1
