"The Icelandic people have been greatly offended and concerned by the use of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security 2001 legislation, feeling branded as terrorists when they felt they were close allies of the British. We believe that the imposition of the Act’s sanctions had ramifications well beyond what seems to have been the UK Government’s original intention. It had an impact on Iceland’s economy, its financial system as well as on its worldwide reputation."
