"I voted for the European Parliament resolution on the 2011 progress report on Iceland. I support Iceland’s accession process because Iceland contributes to cohesion and European solidarity. I encourage the Icelandic authorities to continue their efforts to reduce the level of unemployment and, in particular, youth unemployment. I call on the government to boost small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by facilitating their presence in the international market and by providing adequate access to financial resources. Iceland, which generates energy mostly from renewable resources, can make a valuable contribution to EU policies in this area due to its experience in the field of renewable energies. Closer cooperation in this field may have a positive impact on investment and therefore on the economic and employment situation in both Iceland and the EU. I think that Iceland’s accession to the EU would significantly enhance the EU’s prospects of playing a more active and constructive role in Northern Europe and in the Arctic, contributing to multilateral governance and to finding sustainable policy solutions in the region."@en1
