The Scottish National Party

 

Here, in shortened 'bitesize' pieces, is the SNP Euro-manifesto. All commitments apply to an independent Scotland.

 

The Single Currency

In favour; the euro would strengthen Scotland's economy.

 

Defence

The SNP would withdraw from NATO and would instead support the creation of European defence organisations such as the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

 

Reform of the EU

Powers should be given to the European Parliament to scrutinise the EC more effectively.

 

The Budget

Scotland would be a net receiver of funds, like other small countries.

 

Home Affairs

Asylum and immigration rules would be relaxed; an open border policy is favoured.

 

Enlargement

The SNP is pro-enlargement.

 

Fraud

There should be EC reforms to combat fraud and improve accountability.

 

Soundbite

Scotland needs a direct voice in the EU so that we can promote our national interests at the top table
