Malt 379 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 jacquline minor, as an excisting member scotland would be in a different position from the likes of serbia and other countries going through the memberhsip process. as a member already, scotland ticks the required boxes.. Quote: Last month Jacqueline Minor, the European Commission's outgoing official representative in the UK, said no more states would be allowed in before 2020, the year after Britain leaves.

C556 351 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Scotland joining the EU would mean losing the UK's rebate and making it a contributory member, unable to make it's own trade agreements, having to take in it's allocation of asylum seekers, and free movement of people from the EU (and whoever else wants manages to illegally get into the EU). You're telling me that's in Scotland's interests?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Minor was then asked if Scotland would be prioritised in the accession process to the EU if the country voted to quit the UK in the wake of Brexit. She added: "I think, obviously, there are some things that would facilitate that process, namely that Scotland would at a previous point have been aligned with the European acquis. "So it would have a familiarity with European processes, it would probably still have on its statute books a fair amount of European rules, which would mean it was starting from a point different from other applicant countries, who normally have to go through the entire process of aligning their rules with European rules."

mushroom 12,434 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Joe your whole argument for Indepenance rests upon the notion Europe will welcome an independent Scotland with open arms. Question: would you till seek Indepenance if EU membership was off the table, yes or no? Joe? Joe? I believe there are options to be in the single market and not part of the eu, EFTA/EEA??? Yes Already off the table! I have told you Spain has already publically announced it WILL veto any form of membership Quote Link to post Share on other sites
