Iceland to be Fast-Tracked Into the EU
January 30th, 2009Imagine my shock.
Via: Guardian:
Iceland will be put on a fast track to joining the European Union to rescue the small Arctic state from financial collapse amid rising expectations that it will apply for membership within months, senior policy-makers in Brussels and Reykjavik have told the Guardian.
Wow; they’ve sold themselves.
I guess the choice was Russia or the EU – which isn’t really much of a choice at all.
Now the EU will get that nice Naval Base, and massive fishing reserves – for a bargain price.
Message to Icelandic fishermen: get used to massive Spanish trawlers scouring every last living thing out of your waters, and ramming your ships to get to them.
Screwed, with a captial “S”.
On a personal note, as an EU citizen, I’ll soon be able to live & work in Iceland. Yay for me.
how convenient.
