Norwegians try to influence Iceland EU decision


The Centre Party of Norway and the Norwegian Socialist Left Movement have both sent representatives to Iceland to lobby against Iceland applying for European Union membership, according to the Aftenposten website.

The news site states that the Centre Party has sent two representatives, Aslaug Haga and Per Olaf Lundteigen, to discuss with members of the Icelandic Progressive Party and other Icelandic politicians, including Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde.

The Socialist Left Movement also intended to send two representatives to Iceland, Agot Valle and Dag Seierstad, but Valle quit the trip at the last minute due to illness, according to Aftenposten.
