Iceland, like Ireland, in recent years has suffered a major financial crisis including the collapse of its banking system.   Iceland is now well on the way to emerging from the crisis and is at an advanced stage of negotiating accession to the European Union.   Our guest speakers are ideally placed to comment and give us the benefit of their reflections on this situation.We also remind you to renew your subscriptions for 2011-2012. While the IIEA Brussels is a volunteer organisation, the very modest annual subscriptions ensure that we can continue to organise events of interest to you. To arrange membership please pay (50 EUR normal / 10 EUR stagiaire) into the account below:             Fortis Bank Account Number 001-4758924-83           IBAN: BE14 0014 7589 2483                                BIC: GEBABEBB
