Icelanders vote on whether to resume EU accession negotiations; a Yes would trigger tense talks with Brussels, with fisheries and the Common Fisheries Policy likely to be the main sticking points, and could lead to membership after a possible second referendum. A No would dampen EU enlargement momentum and stall membership prospects for years, keeping Iceland in the European Economic Area while narrowing the path to full Brussels membership.
