First Chapters Closed in Negotiations with Iceland

The first four chapters, 5- Public Procurement, 10-Information Society and Media, 25- Science and Research and 26-Education and Culture on Iceland's accession to the EU were opened at an intergovernmental conference on 27 June. Those are the areas in which Iceland has already taken on a large part of EU legislation due to its membership in the European Economic Area.

Negotiations on two chapters "Science and Research" and "Education and Culture" were provisionally closed.
