Iceland is required to withdraw its application to turn into a part of the European Union, the Reykjavik Grapevine reported Monday, refering to the nation’s leader.

“Participating in EU talks isn’t really valid anymore. Both due to changes in the European Union and because it’s not in line with the policies of the ruling government to accept everything that the last government was willing to accept. Because of that, we’re back at square one,” Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson was refered to as saying by the magazine.

Iceland’s legislature is currently situated to make a second endeavor at repudiating the nation’s EU application. The nation’s decision coalition initially chosen to submit a bill to stop EU accession early a year ago, starting real challenges in the capital, Reykjavik.

In a meeting with the Icelandic Morgunbladid daily paper on Monday, Birgir Armannsson, executive of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Iceland’s parliament, expressed that “it is not unexpected that the prime minister is likely to present a new parliamentary resolution to revoke the membership application.”

Iceland applied to join the European Union in 2009 and started formal transactions the accompanying year. After the 2013 races, the nation’s new center government chose to end accession talks with the EU. Iceland is at present a part of the European Economic Area, the European Free Trade Association, and also a part of the Schengen Area.
