lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution because eight chapters have been opened and provisionally closed so far in the accession negotiations while three others have been opened, and Iceland is already cooperating closely with the EU as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Schengen agreements, and the Dublin II Regulation, and has therefore already adopted a significant part of the . A considerable proportion of Icelanders are in favour of the continuation of the accession negotiations and Icelandic society is actively involved in public discussions about EU membership. Iceland’s accession to the EU would significantly enhance the Union’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. I believe that it is essential to create the conditions to complete the accession process with Iceland and ensure that its accession is a success. I welcome the prospect of having as a new EU Member State a country with a historically long and strong democratic tradition and civic culture."@en1
