"This report is another demonstration of the inseparable nature of the expansions of the EU and NATO. The EU is extending its hand to Iceland, a founding member of NATO and a country with an important geostrategic position, due to its proximity to the Arctic and to the dispute about sovereignty over the region’s unexploited natural resources, particularly oil and gas. The majority in Parliament are using this report to put pressure on Iceland’s political parties and government to accept the neoliberal measures that have led to the serious crisis being faced by the country, which is having extremely serious social consequences. That is why they are demanding that the Icelandic authorities implement economic reforms, lift capital controls, and open up the energy, air transport and fishing industries, whilst rejecting any measures to protect its economy and workers. The concerns guiding this majority are clear when they take the side of the major banks in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, expressing satisfaction at payments to ‘creditors’ whilst ignoring that they are responsible for the crisis and passing responsibility for paying to the Icelandic people The people of this country have set a significant example in combativeness in fighting to defend their sovereignty and in rejecting these backward social steps."@en1
