"I welcomed this resolution. Iceland has already been cooperating closely with the EU for some time as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), the Schengen agreements and the Dublin II Regulation, and has transposed into its national law and applied a significant portion of the EU
. Iceland also contributes to European cohesion and solidarity through the Financial Mechanism under the EEA and is implementing sufficient economic and fiscal consolidation, which has helped improve the economic situation. The accession of Iceland, with its long historical experience, strong democratic traditions and high level of civic culture, will strengthen the EU. In fact, Iceland was the first country to announce that it recognised the restoration of Lithuania’s independence. I believe that Iceland’s achievements in defending and safeguarding human rights and its high level of cooperation with international organisations for the protection of human rights will enable the EU to enhance its role as a worldwide defender of human rights."@en1
