60 prosent stemte nei til Icesave-avtalen i folkeavstemningen 9. april. Nedenfor er lenker til uttalelsene fra Europakommisjonen og ESA, med korte sitat:
Europakommisjonen: "the Commission will closely monitor the further developments in the framework of Iceland's existing commitments to fully respect its obligations deriving from membership in the European Economic Area" [...] "the Commission maintains its support for EFTA's surveillance authority as the competent authority in this case and we hope for a swift resolution. The outcome of the referendum does not impact on the ongoing accession negotiations, to which the Commission remains fully committed".
EFTAs overvåkingsorgan (ESA): "Unless the letter from the government contains arguments that alters our preliminary conclusions in the case, the next formal step would be to send Iceland a final warning, a Reasoned Opinion. This final warning will give Iceland two months to rectify their breach of the EEA Agreement. If Iceland continues to be in breach of the agreement, the case will be sent to the EFTA Court".
