Iceland withdraws from application for EU membership

cc. The Icelandic Government decided not to resume accession negotiations with the EU and officially withdrew from its application for membership. Therefore, Iceland has no longer the status of a candidate country and requests the EU to respect this fact from now on. “The majority of the insular state’s people had always spoken out against the membership”, the “Handelszeitung” wrote on 12 March. And as it is not different in Switzerland, it would be also an option for the Swiss Government.
