While its accession is still causing political division within the government, the parliament and all of the country’s main political forces, a significant proportion of Icelanders are still in favour of continuing negotiations. I welcome Iceland’s ambition to open all negotiation chapters during the Danish Presidency and I hope that the accession negotiations will proceed successfully.
