lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this European Parliament resolution because Iceland contributes to European cohesion and solidarity through the Financial Mechanism under the European Economic Area (EEA) and cooperates with the EU in peacekeeping and crisis management operations. The European Parliament welcomes the prospect of having as a new EU Member State a country with a historically long and strong democratic tradition and civic culture. It also commends Iceland for its good record in safeguarding human rights and ensuring a high level of cooperation with international organisations for the protection of human rights. Iceland’s accession to the European Union would significantly enhance the EU’s prospects of playing a more active and constructive role in Northern Europe and in the Arctic, contributing to multilateral governance and sustainable policy solutions in the region, as challenges to the Arctic environment are of mutual concern. Iceland could become a strategic bridgehead in the region and its accession to the EU would further anchor the European presence in the Arctic Council. Iceland should enhance the preparations for alignment with the European Union in particular, in areas not covered by the EEA Agreement, and ensure its implementation and enforcement by the date of accession."@en1
