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]

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?!

She said: "I think, had Scotland achieved independence, there would be no reason why it would not be accepted into the normal accession process."

 

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."

That was a quote attributed to her before the last indyref weren't it? Things have changed since then and the other major players in the EU have said they'll veto it, again. She didnt have the authority to speak on their behalf anyway, it was just her personal opinion.

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

This is an opinion of hers hence the constant use of "I think" face it Joe, you're just not capable of debating this ubject. You are entirely incapable.

Do you know who this clown is????

 

He's about as popular as herpes at a swingers gathering with his own party and about as senior as the teaboy. His views are at complete odds with his party's line also with Catalunya, Albania etc

[Joe1888 672]

jajajaja, the two situations are different. catalonia in spain is different from scotland in the uk.. spain keep saying an iscotland would need to reapply, go through the process every other country does

 

can you provide a recent link or video from someone high up in spains government, that states 100% they will veto scotlands eu membership if it tries to rejoin. not maybe, could, if etc etc etc

[mushroom 12,392]
