Reykjavík, 4 June 2025
Ms Brigitte Klintskov Jerkel,
Chair of the European Affairs Committee of the Danish Folketing.
Dear Chair,
I am addressing you in relation to the parliamentary dimension of the Danish Presidency
of the Council of the European Union.
As you may be aware, Iceland enjoys a close relationship with the EU through the
Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) and various other agreements.
Representatives of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Icelandic parliament have
regularly participated as guests in previous COSAC meetings, and I would like to
emphasize our appreciation for continued close cooperation between Iceland and the EU
and acknowledge what a valuable forum COSAC has been in that regard. Furthermore, I
would like to stress the importance of maintaining a close contact between the National
Parliaments of the European Union and the Parliament of Iceland.
I would therefore highly appreciate if you would consider extending an invitation to Iceland
to participate in the meeting of the Chairpersons of COSAC and the COSAC plenary
meeting under the Danish EU Presidency.
I wish you a successful EU Presidency and truly look forward to hearing from you on this
matter.
Yours sincerely,
