Iceland is hoping to come to a new agreement about the repayment of a €4.4bn loan made by the Netherlands and Britain to help Iceland repay bank customers hit when Icesave parent Landsbanki collapsed.
Iceland is holding a referendum on the payback deal on March 6, which is very likely to go against the agreement.
