    I wouldn’t say they are more integrated than the UK was. Iceland is not a part of the customs union, and I would argue that that is a pretty important part of the whole concept of the EU.

    They are also not part of the common fisheries policy, which is going to be a pretty big hurdle to cross.

      True, but they’re part of Schengen, symbolically and also from a human perspective, a much more powerful policy than fisheries or customs…
