Norway’s pro-EU voices sense their moment – POLITICO

OSLO — In a suburban restaurant outside the Norwegian capital, a handful of pro-Europe activists are trying to do something that has failed for decades: drag their country back into the EU debate.

Now, they may finally have an opening. But the catalyst for these discussions isn’t in Oslo. It’s in Reykjavik.

In August, Iceland will hold a referendum to decide on new accession negotiations with the EU, offering Norway a chance to put the issue back on its political agenda.
