Iceland has not joined the European Union and really has no interest in doing so because of the EU's restrictive fishing regulations. When Iceland went bankrupt in 2008, it saw EU membership as being a bulwark against economic meltdown, but since then, Iceland has recovered and is intentionally letting its EU application flounder.
Iceland hasn't entered the EU yet. But as part of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already a member of the EU's single market. It is also a member of the Schengen Area which removes border controls between member states.
In year 2004.
On the 1st of May 2004.
At the present time, September 2013, negotiations have stopped. The current government does not want to join. So it is impossible to know when or even if Iceland will join the European Union.
Northern Iceland?? Its just Iceland, and it hasn't joined yet, the accession process just begun. If you mean Northern IRELAND, UK , it joined EU within the GB in 1973.
Monaco did not join the EU.
Iceland is a candidate for joining the European Union so it does not have a very long way to go. All that is left is negotiations and talks to allow Iceland to accede. Once Iceland is given the go ahead to accede, however, it could take more than a year to officially join, so Iceland will probably not be in the EU for 2-5 years.
No, because Iceland is not currently part of the EU. Iceland has applied to be a member, however their membership is neither accepted nor declined due to debates over allowing Iceland to enter the EU, mostly due to Iceland's illegal fishing activities such as Whaling. Until Iceland cease their illegal fishing industry, it is very unlikely that Iceland will be part of the EU.
There is no country called Sami in the EU
Countries that are located in Europe or are considered Europeanized countries can join the European Union. Europeanized countries are countries whose culture is adopted from Europe and that have a large European population. For example, Iceland, Norway, or the Ukraine can join the EU since they are all located in Europe, and thus are European countries. But the United States, Canada, or Israel could also join the EU since they are all Europeanized countries. They must also be democratic, with an economic system that is compatible with that of the other EU countries.
The USA has not applied to join the EU, and is unlikely to join in the future. The USA would be ineligible to join for several reasons, including capital punishment.
Switzerland is not in the EU, so it cannot join the Euro area.
