lpv:translated text	"Iceland is a country with a long democratic tradition that wishes to join the European Union. Iceland would even transpose Europe’s laws significantly better than many Member States, according to the Commissioner responsible for enlargement. I therefore welcome the progress in the negotiations with a country that felt the full force of the economic crisis but reacted in an exemplary fashion and has now achieved 3% growth in 2012. We firmly believe that its accession will not be a burden on the European Union’s budget. The problems that remain, such as whale hunting, and the opening of the chapters on agriculture and rural development, must be resolved through negotiation. I fully support Iceland’s accession to the European Union, but it is also important to note that the political divisions within the government over its possible accession could still jeopardise this process."@en1
