Icelanders rejected the reopening of accession negotiations with the European Union, according to the definitive results of the referendum held on Saturday, whose data was published today. The referendum specifically questioned whether Iceland should reopen accession negotiations with the European Union.
The voting result was tight, with 52.8% of voters voting "no" and 47.2% voting "yes". The French agency AFP was the source responsible for releasing the official referendum numbers.
The definitive results confirmed the rejection by the majority of the Icelandic population of the EU accession process, which had been previously initiated but later abandoned by the Nordic country.
