About this episode
Iceland has voted no to restarting membership talks with the EU in a referendum held over the weekend.
While the yes camp had hoped rising global geopolitical tensions might sway voters, the fear of losing control over Icelandic fishing quotas proved decisive. So what does this result mean for the EU’s enlargement ambitions? Nick and Zoya discuss.
Next, defense and foreign ministers prepare to meet in Ireland this week to talk Russia sanctions, support for Ukraine ... and overhauling the EU’s diplomatic arm.
And finally, move aside Italy, Greek coffee is making it big in Brussels.
