Icelandic loan guarantees referendum, 2011 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Icelandic loan guarantees referendum, 2011
A referendum on the loan guarantees repayment by Iceland to the governments of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands for their loan guarantees to the Depositors' and Investors' Guarantee Fund of Iceland (''Tryggingarsjóður innstæðueigenda og fjárfesta'') over the failure of the Icesave bank was held in Iceland on 9 April 2011. This was the second referendum on the issue after a previous one was held in March 2010. After the referendum failed to pass, the British and Dutch governments said that they would take the case to the European courts.〔 〕 ==Background== The referendum was held under article 26 of the Constitution of Iceland after President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson refused to counter-sign the corresponding Act of Parliament (known as the third Icesave bill) into law on 20 February 2011. Previously, the Althingi had approved Act No. 1/2010 (also known as ''Icesave bill 2''), as amendment to Act No. 96/2009 (also known as ''Icesave bill 1''), authorising the Minister of Finance, on behalf of the State Treasury, to issue a state guarantee to cover deposit insurance over the failure of Icesave. However, the president did not approve this second version of the bill, and instead asked for it to be taken to a referendum.〔 When this previous referendum was held in Iceland on 6 March 2010 asking for the electorates approval of ''Icesave bill 2'', which had been mutually negotiated between the states of Iceland, United Kingdom and the Netherlands, it was defeated with 98% voting against and less than 2% in favour of agreeing to the terms. When the later renegotiated and improved ''Icesave bill 3'' had been approved by the Icelandic parliament, the Icelandic president on 20 February 2011 once again refused to sign the new deal, calling for the matter instead to be decided by a new referendum.
