Iceland should join the EU

The German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung advises Iceland, which has been hard hit by the financial crisis, to join the EU. "There was a time when Iceland was right at the top. It was among the world's most prosperous nations, its currency was stable and its standard of living was high. ... The conservative government in Reykjavik arrogantly looked down on the European Union. Brussels was seen as an obstacle that would simply slow down the country's rapid ascent. Europe - no thanks! They were convinced they would be better off on their own. Yet in the current financial crisis an application for EU membership would send precisely the political message the country so urgently needs. ... For too long the government of Prime Minster Geir Haarde ignored the calls for EU membership, even though it has been clear for months that with its small and freely negotiable currency and its over-inflated banks Iceland would end up at the epicentre of the financial crisis. Instead Haarde wanted to convert to the euro without joining the EU. Doing things by halves, however, is not an option - not even for Iceland."
