The European Union has opened an information centre in the Icelandic capital.
The EU information centre, called Evrópustofan, was opened in Reykjavík for the first time yesterday.
According to RÚV the centre will be open to the public six days a week and its goal is to increase knowledge and understanding of the European Union among Icelanders and to encourage an active debate in society on the advantages and disadvantages of Icelandic membership of the EU.
Visitors to the centre are also able to find information on EU projects and funds and there are many books and leaflets available for those with a more casual interest.
The centre is located at Suðurgata 10, 101 Reykjavík.
There is also a website (in Icelandic): www.evropustofa.is.
Why Eu commission is wasting thie EU tax payer country money on this center I do not know.
The propoganda budget it wasted on Icelandic people. The more they try to push usual glossy brochures and videos on us the more we will turn against.
( New Chinese embassy here is much better investment for tax payers of China than that Evrópustofan is for those of EU. )
And majority of Icelanders are not exactly FOR joining the EU as it is.
On other note, I look forward to welcoming United Kingdom ( perhaps minus Scotland who probably join on their own into EU ) back into EFTA from the EU this decade.
Don’t forget to ask them on how they will destroy our economy by forcing upon us there fishing quotas and then send there fishing ships to rape our fish stocks and leaving us only with the scraps.
Oh and don’t forget if we join the EU we won’t have our own central bank anymore since it will be there bank and if one of the EU countries will need a bailout they will just take it out of our pockets with out even asking.
And also don’t forget that the Lisbon treaty will supersede Icelandic constitution, so that will mean, there laws, regulations and there unelected politicians that will rule over Iceland.
