EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Mixed messages on the status of Iceland's EU accession application are coming from different actors in the bloc. But the Netherlands has said that after the country's second rejection by referendum of an agreement intended to resolve a bitter banking dispute between the Hague and the small island, there is now "no way" Iceland will be able to join the European Union."I think at this moment there is no way to get Iceland to join the EU. In that there is no option," Sylvester Eijffinger, Tilburg University economics professor and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's advisor on the Icesave banking conflict, told Morgunbladid, Iceland's main daily newspaper.
