Where it stands
Iceland's EU referendum, scheduled for next week, is too close to call. Norway's position as a non-EU member could be affected. The Financial Times and Bloomberg.com note that a yes vote in Iceland would likely reignite debate in Norway about its own EU membership.
However, the outcome is uncertain. BBC and Arctic Today report that the referendum is currently neck-and-neck, with a narrow lead for the yes vote. The referendum's result will determine Iceland's future relationship with the EU.
If Iceland joins, Norway may face renewed pressure to reconsider its stance. However, the outcome of the referendum is far from guaranteed.
