UK to sue Iceland over lost billions, official says
By the CNN Wire Staff
April 10, 2011 -- Updated 1613 GMT (0013 HKT)

London (CNN) -- An increasingly bitter dispute between the United Kingdom and Iceland over billions of dollars lost when banks collapsed is likely to end up in court, a top British government minister said Sunday.

The British government has "an obligation to get that money back, and we will continue to pursue that until we do," said Danny Alexander, the chief secretary of the Treasury.

He was speaking Sunday after Iceland's people voted to repeal a law aimed at solving the dispute.

Six out of 10 voters in the referendum on Saturday opposed the law, the government said in a statement Sunday, saying turnout was high.

Alexander called Saturday's Icelandic vote "disappointing," adding, "We have a very difficult financial position as a country ... This money would help."

"There is a legal process going on and we will carry on through these processes," he said on the BBC's "Andrew Marr" show.

The battle results from the collapse of an Icelandic internet bank in October 2008.

Britain and the Netherlands came up with more than $5 billion to bail out savers in their own countries who lost money in the failure of Icesave -- an online retail bank branch of Landsbanki.

They are now trying to claim the money back from Iceland.

Some payments will go ahead later this year, Iceland's government said Sunday, explaining that they were not affected by the vote.

"These partial payments are expected to cover close to a third of priority (depositor) claims. Moreover, latest figures on its assets indicate that the estate (of Landsbanki) will be able to pay over 90% of claims for deposits," the government said in a statement.

Under a European Union directive, Iceland owes compensation to Britain and the Netherlands. The Icelandic government has said it will honor its international obligations.

Netherlands Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager is "very disappointed about the decision of the Icelandic electorate not to agree with the agreement reached between Iceland, the U.K. and the Netherlands," the Netherlands Finance Ministry said in a statement Sunday.

"The time for negotiations is over," de Jager said in the statement. "Iceland remains obliged to repay. The issue is now for the courts to decide."

The Netherlands Finance Ministry said it is consulting with the United Kingdom about further steps.

The International Monetary Fund loaned Iceland $2.1 billion in November 2009, and said repaying the money to the British and Dutch governments was a requirement of the loan.

Iceland has begun moves toward applying for European Union membership, which Britain and the Netherlands could block.

Duo des fleurs (Sous le dôme épais) - Lakmé - Léo Delibes

Lakmé
Viens, Mallika, les lianes en fleurs
Jettent déjà leur ombre
Sur le ruisseau sacré qui coule,
Calme et sombre,
Eveillé par le chant des oiseaux tapageurs!

Mallika
Oh! maîtresse,
C'est l'heure ou je te vois sourire,
L'heure bénie où je puis lire
Dans le coeur toujours fermé de lakmé!

Lakmé
Dôme épais le jasmin,
A la rose s'assemble,
Rive en fleurs frais matin,
Nous appellent ensemble.
Ah! glissons en suivantle courant fuyant:
Dans l'on de frémissante,
D'une main nonchalante,
Gagnons le bord,
Où l'oiseau chante,
L'oiseau, l'oiseau chante.
Dôme épais, blanc jasmin,
Nous appellent ensemble!

Mallika
Sous le dôme épais, où le blanc jasmin
A la rose s'assemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant fuyant:
Dans l'onde frémissante,
D'une main nonchalante,
Viens, gagnons le bord,
Où la source dort
Et l'oiseau, l'oiseau chante.
Sous le dôme épais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
Ah! descendons ensemble!

Lakmé
Mais, je ne sais quelle crainte subite,
S'empare de moi,
Quand mon père va seul
À leur ville maudite;
Je tremble, je tremble d'effroi!

Mallika
Pourquoi le dieu ganeça le protège,
Jusqu'à l'étang où s'ébattent joyeux
Les cygnes aux ailes de neige,
Allons cueillir les lotus bleus.

Lakmé
Oui, près des cygnes
Aux ailles de neige,
Allons cueillir les lotus bleus.

Lakmé
Dôme épais le jasmin,
A la rose s'assemble,
Rive en fleurs frais matin,
Nous appellent ensemble.
Ah! glissons en suivant
Le courant fuyant:
Dans l'on de frémissante,
D'une main nonchalante,
Gagnons le bord,
Où l'oiseau chante,
L'oiseau, l'oiseau chante.
Dôme épais, blanc jasmin,
Nous appellent ensemble!

Mallika
Sous le dôme épais, où le blanc jasmin
A la rose s'assemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs riant au matin,

Lakmé & Mallika
Ah! ah! ah!
Ah! ah! ah!

The Liberal defeat in the election of January 2006 ended Dion's tenure as environment minister and Martin's as Liberal leader. In April, Dion announced he would run for the party leadership, though few pundits gave him much of a chance. In a pack of eight, Dion was sixth in campaign donations and fourth in committed delegate support on the eve of the December convention. Still, polls showed him to be the overwhelming second choice of the delegates. On the fourth ballot, Dion was elected party leader.
