Excellent story by my Norwegian colleague. The Stõre government looks to be in dire straits over this, while the other EEA countries, Iceland and Lichtenstein have already agreed.

#Iceland application to join the #EU is still valid says the EU commission, even though 15 years have passed since it was submitted. Referendum on reopening talks is planned for 2027, but could be earlier said Icelandic FM in Brussels today.

New government in #Iceland announces EU-referendum in 2027. #Norway will closely track this debate, as possible EU membership of Iceland would probably mean the end of the #EEA agreement.

One of the better assignment here in #Brussels for @ruvfrettir was to visit the Musée royal d’histoire
naturelle, to see the Great Auk, the last of its kind, killed in 1844 in #Iceland. A powerful reminder of how humans are affecting the natural world.
