Iceland votes on EU accession
Icelandic voters are turning out to participate in a referendum on reopening negotiations to join the European Union. Opinions vary between those who believe that accession will help ease rising interest rates and strengthen economic security, and others who see it as a potential threat to the island's sovereignty and water resources. If the supporters vote in favor, negotiations with Brussels will be resumed; however, a second referendum on final membership in the EU is expected to follow after several years. Iceland had applied for membership in 2009, but negotiations were halted in 2013.
