Iceland is not a member of the European Union, but it is part of the EU’s single market through the European Free Trade Association. Iceland applied to join the EU in July 2009, but suspended accession talks four years later when a Euroskeptic government took power. The country held a nonbinding referendum in August 2026 to determine whether those talks should be resumed, and 53 percent of voters opted for “no.”
