Icelandic Voters Show Little Enthusiasm for EU Membership Ahead of Referendum

In Iceland, the prospect of joining the EU generates little enthusiasm ahead of referendum

On August 29, Icelanders are set to vote in a referendum on whether to resume negotiations to join the European Union, which were suspended in 2015. While fishing, agriculture and economic issues have dominated the campaign debates, the 'yes' camp has only a slight lead over the 'no' camp in the polls.
