    Iceland is already more integrated in the Union than the UK ever was. They should have a say on the discussions that very directly influence them. Same for Norway btw.

      I wouldn’t say they are more integrated than the UK was. Iceland is not a part of the customs union, and I would argue that that is a pretty important part of the whole concept of the EU.

      They are also not part of the common fisheries policy, which is going to be a pretty big hurdle to cross.

        True, but they’re part of Schengen, symbolically and also from a human perspective, a much more powerful policy than fisheries or customs…
