Iceland’s finance minister expresses doubts about EAA membership
In debate in parliament last week, Bjarni Benediktsson said EU treatment of EFTA/EEA countries should prompt Iceland to reconsider its membership in the economic bloc.
“The time has come in my opinion for us in Parliament to take into serious consideration what the position of the EFTA countries is based on the EEA Agreement when such demands are made by the European Union. Quick look suggests that those demands are not really in accordance with the fundamental thought behind the EEA cooperation,” said Iceland‘s Finance Minister Bjarni Benediktsson during a debate in parliament last week.
