Iceland rejects EU accession talks
France 24 [en] · western europe
Iceland has voted against resuming membership talks with the European Union. The “No” camp won with nearly 53% of the vote, while just over 47% backed the “Yes” side, with only 9,500 votes separating the two. The Nordic island nation is already part of the EU’s single market and the Schengen area, but EU membership would bring it into the bloc’s customs union and pave the way for adopting the euro.
