Europe’s executive body, the European Commission, met on 19 February for their weekly Commission meeting. They are expected to exchange views on the opening of accession negotiations with Iceland following the country's application for membership of the European Union. In the opinion, the Commission acknowledges Iceland's adherence to the common values of the Union, such as democracy, rule of law and respect for human rights. Following today's recommendation by the Commission, it is now for the Council of the European Union to decide on the opening of accession negotiations with Iceland. They also discussed the management of Frontex, the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union.
