"The Preda report on progress in Iceland’s preparations for EU membership should be greatly welcomed. Iceland is a small country, but it is one which has a strong democratic tradition and great spirit. Iceland has also demonstrated the greatest determination in overcoming the financial crisis and, in 2012, will be one of the fastest developing states in the European Economic Area. The very good evaluation of the alignment of the Icelandic legal system with EU law and the closure of eight negotiation chapters out of the 11 which have been opened is a good sign of the progress of negotiations in 2012. Without doubt, the most important areas of the negotiations for Iceland are fisheries and agriculture, but countries which apply for membership always give these chapters special attention. The agreements reached on fisheries to date are a good sign that agreement can also be reached in these areas. I wish Iceland success in this process because its accession to the EU means the territory covered by the Union will extend from Malta to Iceland."@en1
