The European Parliament says it wants Iceland to join the EU in a resolution adopted in plenary session. Also, it has approved two more resolutions, one for each country, that call for a date for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to start accession talks, and show MEPs concerns at the limited progress of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a potential candidate.

MEPs approved three resolutions on the progress for accession done so far by Iceland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. With regard to Iceland, MEPs agreed that progress is visible. However they point out that the EU and Iceland still disagree on mackerel fishing quotas and on whale-hunting, which is banned in the EU. They also stress that the Icesave dispute has not been settled but say it should not hold up Iceland’s membership.

On the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, MEPs calls for a date for starting accession talks, as the Foreign Affairs Committee did in January. In addition, they regret that its accession prospects are blocked by the name dispute with Greece. They also point out that corruption is still a "serious concern", though they are pleased with the efforts to tackle it. Parliament also wants greater efforts to combat the segregation of children from different ethnic groups in the education system.

The third resolution adopted in plenary session show MEPs concern at the limited progress of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the reforms needed for potential EU membership. It says its future lies in the EU but insists that it can only have a prospect of EU membership as a single, sovereign and united country, with the state powers needed to meet EU accession criteria.
