    I’m excited at the prospect of Iceland joining, but I dunno how they’ll overcome the obstacle of the common fisheries policy.

      The hope is that the European Union is willing to add water to the wine, and give Iceland an exemption to the common fisheries policy for the sake of finding more better allies in the world and expanding the European Union.
