lpv:translated text	"We are very pleased to note that Iceland has managed to steer the negotiations in the right direction, despite the fact that there are certain chapters where an agreement has yet to be reached. Iceland is an integral part of the accession process, but it is important to note that within the framework of the EU policy, it is our obligation to also take account of the country’s specificities and expectations. One reason to settle the issue of fishing as soon as possible is that the population is treating Iceland’s fisheries policy, which accounts for 5% of the country’s economy and is radically different from that of the EU, as a matter of priority. Important to both parties, this subject could contribute considerably to the populace, which is otherwise averse to the EU, ultimately not rejecting accession. We therefore need joint efforts to address future challenges, and it is important in particular in the field of fishing to reach an agreement that is beneficial to both sides. I am certain that the Danish Presidency and the European Commission will do everything in their power to promote these negotiations. Iceland has much to offer to the EU, and the EU, in turn, also has much to offer to Iceland. The country has always been an integral part of Europe. Iceland’s accession negotiations are unlike others seen over the past few years, as this insular country is part of the Schengen Area and the European Economic Area, cooperates in several other respects with the EU, and also applies its legislation. Accordingly, Iceland’s ambitions must be treated as a matter of extreme importance. I welcome the launch of the negotiations between the Commission and Iceland, and wish them a successful start in the accession process."@en1
