Scotland and the Euro: Myths on Scottish EU Membership (European Merchants)

Speech by Anthony Salamone, Managing Director of European Merchants, on the mysterious role of the euro in Scottish politics

Anthony Salamone will parse myths on Scotland, the euro and EU membership under independence. He will explore the purpose, function and meaning of the euro in the European Union of today. He will probe the antipathy towards the euro in Scottish politics and its consequences for Scotland’s EU relations. He will consider Scotland’s approach to the euro in the event of independence, including in a hypothetical EU accession process. In doing so, Anthony will assess how Scotland’s myths on the euro and EU membership reflect its substantial disconnects from the EU in practice. Q&A to follow.
