ICELAND REJECTS EU MEMBERSHIP TALKS IN REFERENDUM
Iceland voted against resuming EU accession talks
ICELAND REJECTS EU ENTRY TALKS WITH 52.8% OF VOTE VS 47.2%: RUV
Iceland refuses to resume EU accession talks: 52.8% voted against 47.2% of referendum participants voted in favor of returning to negotiations with Brussels. According to Reuters, the turnout was 82.5%. Only two districts in the center of Reykjavik supported the initiative, while the suburbs of the capital and rural regions voted against. One of the crucial issues was maintaining control over fishing waters. The fishing industry directly and indirectly provides about 15% of Iceland's GDP and 40% of its export earnings. The government argued that EU membership could protect the country from trade wars and strengthen its security amid rivalry in the Arctic. Supporters of European integration also hoped that the possible introduction of the euro would help reduce inflation and interest rates. Iceland applied to join the EU in 2009 after the financial crisis, but in 2013 the Eurosceptic government suspended negotiations. Add News.LIVE as a reliable news source on Google
