  "account": "If Iceland joins the EU, fisherman Ásbjörn Jónsson fears the island's fishing industry will collapse. Currently, 400 million Norwegian kroner are processed through Fiskkaup, a fish processing plant in Reykjavik, which employs around 50 fishermen and 50 workers in the plant. The plant also processes 5000 tons of fish annually for export to European countries. Jónsson believes the industry would shrink significantly if Iceland joined the EU, losing control over quotas and their management. He criticizes the reliance on EU regulations and the potential loss of sovereignty over their fishing resources.",
