 * Since Iceland is a member of the EEA (European Economic Area) the country already has access to the European market
 * That leaves them with no incentive to join as full members

My country's invlovemaent is...

 * It might become part of the EU in three years
 * Worry’s about the fishing industries having serious consequences
 * Worried about loss of independence when they join
 * Debate about if they are going to join the EU
 * One Person who is a leader in Iceland says that it is a natural and necessary step for Iceland
 * Finding benefits or incentives to join but they can’t find any

My country,Iceland,isn't a part of the EU because...

 * Iceland isn’t part of the EU because they are worried about loss of independence
 * They will have to adopt the fishing policy
 * Which means they will lose control over one of the country natural resources
 * The only benefits they would get would be access to the free market which they already have access to because they are a member of the EEA(European Economic Area)
 * Because of that they don’t have an incentive to join
