"I welcome this resolution. Iceland is one of the oldest democracies in Europe. Iceland and the EU cooperate closely in many areas and its accession to the EU would further enhance the Union’s role in Northern Europe and the Arctic. It should be noted that in 2011, the country made significant progress towards EU membership. I am pleased that Iceland is implementing the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, which will ensure the effective implementation of freedom of expression. It should be noted that the Icelandic authorities must focus in particular on the resolution of the Icesave issue, which cannot become an obstacle in the way of Iceland’s accession process. I believe that the significant state intervention in the banking sector needs to be tackled as soon as possible. Certain branches of industry should also be reformed and opened to foreign entities."@en1
