Iceland Parliament Votes for EU Accession Referendum
The Althingi voted 34-8 to hold a public vote on August 29 regarding the restart of negotiations with the European Union. If approved, this two-step process allows voters to see final membership terms before a second referendum determines the nation's entry into the 27-member bloc.

Iceland's parliament voted 34-8 to hold an August 29 referendum on restarting European Union accession negotiations. The vote supports a two-step plan to rejoin the 27-nation bloc after Reykjavik abandoned previous talks in 2013. A successful bid would integrate the North Atlantic economy into the EU market, potentially by 2028.
