Dutch vow not to block Iceland's EU talks | EurActiv

"I would rather have them at the negotiation table than with their back turned to the EU," ANP quoted Verhagen as saying in the Dutch parliament.

Iceland's settlement of the debt was necessary, however, before it could become an EU member, Verhagen said.

"One way or another we have to continue with Iceland. One way or another we will have to get the money back," he added, according to ANP.

What part of "gone" do they not understand?

It's the same sort of "gone" that hangs like an anchor around 3rd world necks. We know there is no money, indeed the residue very likely already rests in other countries bank vaults.

but it is important to retain the indebtedness to ensure they remain as a client state.
