Post and Telegraph ensign See also: Iceland Historic flags of Iceland Coat of arms of Iceland Royal flags of Iceland State flag and ensign , 9:16, by Zeljko Heimer The state flag was introduced in 1919, and has not changed since. Jan Oskar Engene , 24 June 1996 The state flag is derived from the national flag with a swallow-tail fly cut as (7+1+2+1+7):(7+1+2+1+9+12). Smith (1982) designated the use of this flag as -SW/-SW. Now, I know that currently Iceland has a treaty with USA regarding its defence, and that the US Navy performs as an IDF (and uses the US ensign), but possibly there are some kind of military units on land? In any case, this flag was certainly used as war flag and war ensign before the treaty was signed. Zeljko Heimer , 1 February 2002 Iceland has never had any military forces of its own, before or after the treaty with the USA. It does have an armed coast guard, but I believe this is considered a civilian force similar to the police. I therefore believe it is more correct to designate this flag as -S-/-S-.

International Court of Justice Case Summaries Home Page What's new Docket Decisions ... ICELAND) (JURISDICTION OF THE COURT) Judgment of 2 February 1973 In its Judgment on the question of its jurisdiction in the case concerning Fisheries Jurisdiction (United Kingdom v. Iceland), the Court found by 14 votes to 1 that it had jurisdiction to entertain the Application filed by the United Kingdom on 14 April 1972 and to deal with the merits of the dispute. The Court was composed as follows: President Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, Vice-President Ammoun and Judges Sir Gerald Fitzmaurice, Padilla Nervo, Forster, Gros, Bengzon, Petrén, Lachs, Onyeama, Dillard, Ignacio-Pinto, de Castro, Morozov and Jiménez de Aréchaga. The President of the Court appended a declaration to the Judgment. Judge Sir Gerald Fitzmaurice appended a separate opinion, and Judge Padilla Nervo a dissenting opinion. Résumé of the Proceedings (paras. 1-12 of the Judgment) It is, the Court observes, to be regretted that the Government of Iceland has failed to appear to plead the objections to the Court's jurisdiction which it is understood to entertain. Nevertheless the Court, in accordance with its Statute and its settled jurisprudence, must examine the question on its own initiative, a duty reinforced by Article 53 of the Statute, whereby, whenever one of the parties does not appear, the Court must satisfy itself that it has jurisdiction before finding on the merits. Although the Government of Iceland has not set out the facts and law on which its objection is based, or adduced any evidence, the Court proceeds to consider those objections which might, in its view, be raised against its jurisdiction. In so doing, it avoids not only all expressions of opinion on matters of substance, but also any pronouncement which might prejudge or appear to prejudge any eventual decision on the merits.

As a member of the 380 million-strong European Economic Area (EEA), Iceland has open access to the European Union (EU) and is committed to keeping in line with business legislation there. Companies in Iceland have access to pan-European funds for designing new technologies by virtue of EEA membership, and have been invited to join in prestigious development projects on the strength of their skills in fields such as digital technology applications. The Icelandic Government’s Vision of the Information Society The Government of Iceland has formulated an extensive policy on the issues of the information society. The document is very lengthy and the language is almost philosophical. However, within the document you can find the main vision and objectives outlined by the government. The overriding vision of the Icelandic Government is for “Iceland to be in the forefront of the world's nations in the utilization of information technology in the service of improved human existence and increased prosperity.”

IT Labor Market I T Geographies IT Financing Government Policies Legal Environment ... About the Author Current Privacy Issues Privacy is a hot topic in Iceland. The increase in public concern is due to the controversial genetics database constructed in Iceland, which houses the medical records of Icelandic citizens. As a result of legislation instigated by deCODE genetics, a Delaware biotechnology company working in Reykjavik, the Icelandic parliament adopted a law making it legal for the private company to construct an electronic database of the country's health records. Iceland is considered an ideal country to house such a database because it has one of the most homogenous populations in the world. The act granted deCODE exclusive rights to commercial exploitation of the database for 12 years. Accordingly, deCODE has entered into a (non-exclusive) arrangement with Hoffmann-La Roche which gives the company access to the database for the purpose of researching the genetic origins of 12 common diseases. Although the medical records within the database are stored anonymously, many are concerned about individual privacy. The concerns do not only in health care industry, but in the widespread transfer of personal data in many forms. The dangers inherent in modern technology are judged to be considerable by many in Iceland, which has led to attempts to ensure protection through various international policy documents and legislation. Despite much opposition, the government has endorsed the genetics database, because it feels it is for the good of science. However, there are other data and privacy issues that the Icelandic government is addressing ranging from the taxation of digital information to the adoption of digital ID cards.

Dear Sir, Stop your plans to build a dam in the eastern icelandic highlands. I have learned with regret that the icelandic government is set to build a dam in the east of Iceland, endangering a unique wilderness area. Up until now it's been my understanding that Iceland is among the most unspoiled countries in the world. Your plans, however, and your politics are about to severly damage that image of your country. You can not have it both ways. In conclusion, I urge you to drop you plans for building a dam in this unique area.

Iceland, Information about Power-Intensive Industries . Information about Iceland Power-Intensive Industries in Iceland The largest manufacturing enterprise is an aluminium smelter, located near Reykjavík,with a production capacity of about 90 thousand ton a year. It is owned by the Icelandic Aluminium Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Alusuisse of Switzerland. Negotiations have been conducted by the Icelandic government and the aluminium producers to build a new 230,000 tons aluminum smelter in Iceland. This project has been postponed indefinitely due to a decline in world market prices of aluminum. On the west coast there is a ferrosilicon plant owned jointly by the Icelandic government, Elkem A/S of Norway and Sumitomo Corp. of Japan. Geothermal steam has been used very successfully in the processing of diatomite from the bottom of Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland. The plant is owned jointly by the Icelandic government and the Celite Corporation. Five medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, a fertilizer plant, a cement plant, a rock wool plant, an algin plant and a salt plant use locally available raw materials and domestic sources of energy in their production. Today the installed hydro-electric power base is 4,200 GWh, of an estimated exploitable hydro-electric potential of 45,000 GWh. In addition, there are enormous geothermal resources, already extensively used for communal domestic hot water, heating of buildings and greenhouses, offering large quantities of medium-level (80-200°198°C) heat as water or steam. There are 44.6 MW of installed geothermal steam generating plants, of an estimated 15-20,000 GWh potential. The main industrial uses of geothermal heat are for drying, with one plant drying seaweed for alginate and another drying diatomite. Research is being directed towards developing new industrial uses for natural heat.

In addition, individual consent will be required for inclusion of each sample obtained specifically for a biobank. Dr. Skirboll said the Icelandic Health Delegation indicated that human biological material maintained in the biobanks will not be linked to the Health Sector Database. She explained how researchers will be able to access materials in the biobanks; specifically, consent will be required and collaboration with an Icelandic scientist may be required. The rules governing researchers' access to the biobanks are in an early stage of development. The Icelandic government has indicated that it welcomes NIH input. Iceland has invited us to continue the dialogue at a meeting in Iceland in September. FIC intends to send a representative, and Dr. Kirschstein will determine whether NIH should send additional representatives. Dr. Freire said this was a very contentious topic at a recent meeting of the European Union. She believes we should pursue the dialogue.

22 July 2002 WWF will continue the fight for an Iceland national park despite Alcoa and Iceland government decision to proceed with controversial smelter and hydropower development Oslo, Norway - WWF, the conservation organization, today vowed to continue to press for a national park in Iceland and condemned Alcoa and the Icelandic government for their decision to forge ahead with plans to build a controversial aluminium smelter and hydropower complex in Eastern Iceland. Alcoa, the world's largest aluminium producer, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Icelandic Government and Landsvirkjun, Iceland's national power company, last week to go ahead with the combined project, which will irreversibly damage large parts of the Eastern Highland area. The combined project will be the largest ever infrastructure development in Iceland, involving the construction of a 190-meter high dam as well as other smaller dams, tunnels, power lines, roads and a 57-square kilometre reservoir. It will affect wildlife and plants over three thousand square kilometres of Icelandic wilderness - some three per cent of Iceland's total land area - as well as destroying parts of the unique Dimmugljufur canyon, Iceland's "Grand Canyon".

About the EFTA Surveillance Authority Information and publications Press releases 2005 Press releases ... contact PR(05)04: Iceland fails to notify draft technical regulations The EFTA Surveillance Authority decided today to deliver a reasoned opinion to Iceland due to a failure to notify to the Authority several draft technical regulations. Iceland Background The procedure laid down in the Act aims at providing transparency and control in order to diminish the risk of creating unjustified trade barriers by the enactment of technical regulations. The Act requires the EFTA States to communicate technical regulations to the Authority at a draft stage to allow the Authority to evaluate them prior to adoption. The EFTA States are obliged to postpone the adoption of these regulations for a period of three months subsequent to notifying the Authority. In July 2004 the Authority issued a letter of formal notice concluding that Iceland had breached its notification obligation with respect to several national measures which had been adopted without being notified to the Authority. The national measures have been identified as technical regulations, and the Icelandic Government has accepted being in breach of its obligations under the EEA Agreement. The measures that remain to be notified are: Regulation no. 580/2001 on micro lights (
