According to Morgunbladid, a large Icelandic news source, the application for Icelandic membership to the European Union has been sent today and already received by Stockholm. The ambassador of Iceland in Stockholm today presented the application in a meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sweden this year holds the European Union chair and will push for Iceland’s membership application as a priority.

@Axel: What the government of Britain does is not much of concern to me because i am not an english chap. I am from Germany. We german dudes suffer alot from this EU because we have to pay enormous taxes which then are used to feed the poorer folks of the EU. Fair enough, but our capability has reached its limits. The European ship is already full. More load and it will sink.
If Icelanders like see what will be in EU,see Latvia.State has been join in 2004.Now there are fully brakedown .EU together with local criminal goverment has been cut almost all ships for fishing industrie,closed all sugar factories,destroyed milk industrie,mashinery,closed hospitals, e.t.c. .Now peoples dont have job,most peoples dont recive benefits,they cut pensions 70% peoples donp have any money for life.I shure if Iceland join EU,this will be end of Iceland.
I need to know when this will be finalized, so I can move my massive factory fishing fleet into (what once were) Icelandic waters and open a massive fish processing factory, staffed entirely by 30,000 illegal Turkish workers, near Reykjavík.
Bye, and thanks for all the fish.

They haven’t and it isn’t, this application does not change anything, the people will decide and the EU has a snowball chance in h*ll at best,
if by any chance the idi*ts we replaced our previous government with try to bypass the Icelandic nation some how in this matter there will be a revolution and i will be more than happy to trow the first brick, may be this time i will put on a pair of welding gloves and light them on fire ;)
the current government was placed there by us and will be fired by us if they don’t do what we want
they are already on thin ice,
and Cheesmond, keep your 2 cents, when Brown has finished sucking the life out of Britain and the IMF takes it over its probably going to be the only thing you have left.
Iceland, where are you going…
Problem with this application that has been made — it is not supported by the majority of people of Iceland. And less and less will be for as details come out.
( What happen is that when discusions about EU get into detail Icelanders become more and more sure that EU member ship is not for them. This always happens in the debating about EU. )
The EU has not changed — and nor have Icelanders — so this is forgone conclusion. But it will be intersting see what offer they make.
I are and been busy busy and probably you not here more posts from me for a while.
I hope you will hear plenty from Bjarni though.

Now Iceland has turned its oppinion. Now the proud Vikings wanna crawling under the wings of Big Bad Europe.
Why they have changed their point of views? A few years ago the European Union was not good enough being an institution of common democratic values. And now?
Well now she is well enough to play the paymaster for the sins of a heighty hedonistic economy that didn’t care for anything. Same as the USA did.
Typical. If you would ask me – I wouldn’t allow Iceland to join the EU. At least not so fast. Let them fidget awhile and maybe they can join in lets say… 10 years from now? After turkey perhaps. By the way: Germany is the biggest paymaster in this European Union. Why aren’t the germans being asked what they think of a new member? With a big debt bringing in? On the other hand the icelanders don’t wanna give in their fishing rights. Quite schizophrenic if you ask me.
My 2 cents.
Chesmond.
Well, this is the beginning of the end for Iceland. Once Iceland joins the EU, we will be forced to give up the protection of our borders. Which means the British will be allowed to live here with no restrictions! That misreable, failed cesspool of multiculturism will be allowed to spread its poison to our beloved homeland. Masses of immigrants and sharia law will soon swamp us and destroy the final fragments of our nation. It pains me to say this, but if Iceland joins the EU, I will be forced to emigrate and never return to Europe. It’s difficult to complettly wash one’s hands of a nationality, but our government is giving us no other choice.
Another kick in the balls of Icelandic People :after the greatest economic collapse ever seen, now the death and failure of democracy.The majority of Icelandic People don’t want to join the demoplutocratic bureucrats of Brussels, so, at least, they should be able to express their own will in a national referendum. It’s time to rise again (democratically,of course, i m not instigating any illegal activity….) and let fall this criminal government that do not serve the interests of the People of Iceland but is already on the leash of their new masters.
Holy crap, that’s quick. If only the criminal investigations could proceed as fast.
