lpv:translated text	"I would like to take the floor in my capacity as rapporteur of this Parliament for Iceland. At present, as you are all aware, Iceland is waiting for the Council to confirm that accession negotiations can get under way. If, as we all wish to see, Iceland becomes a Member State of the European Union, it will be the only Member State located exclusively in the Arctic region. Iceland would, together with Finland, Denmark and Sweden, increase the number of European Union states on the Arctic Council to four, along with the United States, Russia, Canada and Norway. I believe that this fact is all the more important, given that the European Union has not been given, unfortunately, observer status in this forum. Furthermore, I believe that Iceland’s accession to the EU may contribute, first of all, to the diversification of Europe’s energy resources and secondly, to setting up multilateral governance in this region which is attracting ever-growing interest and may give rise, as has also been mentioned in previous speeches, to conflicts. Last but not least, Iceland’s accession may result in a coherent and effective European policy in this region. In conclusion, I believe that when Iceland joins the European Union, the EU will have a more important role in this strategic region. Thank you."@en1
