I am truly sorry if I sounded a little harsh and defensive.
I can see now why you did not 'bold' them, it is because these three states are member of JAR ( and backdoor pass to EU for that matter ) through the EFTA agreement.
We are quite few here in Iceland ( 285K souls ) so we feel a little bit small in this BIG world. Therefore we tend to have a little inferiority complex and try to defend these ( little) things that we do have.
I maybe was thinking about my future ( hopefully ) airline interview and someone said " But is that a JAR state?" after reading it on this mighty and powerfull fountain of information that Pprune is.
p.s. this information is probably from the same side that I found mine i.e.

Oh, and I found this also on the JAA side: "At present the JAA comprises of 26 full members and 11 candidate members"

Oh, another footnote: we are having troubled times here in Iceland, all GA flights, that fly with Avgas 100 LL has been grounded for maybe for several weeks because of damaged fuel. Because we are so few here and far away the oil companys buy large quantities of fuel, so times between each shipment may be up to two years for the Avgas fuel. Very thorough fuel test have to be made to enshure that the fuel is up to standard.
Somehow the fuel that we have now does not have enough 'evaporation pressure' so it may form bubbles in fuel lines.
They found some fuel but it is being reserved for emergencies. But all crafts flying on Jet-A can fly.
So all FTOs and Charter companies are grounded for the time being. SAD
