EUROPEANS in Oban raised concerns about life in the UK after Brexit at a meeting chaired by Argyll and Bute MSP Michael Russell in Oban Phoenix Cinema on Monday night.
As the Scottish minister responsible for EU negotiations on Scotland’s place in Europe, Mr Russell outlined the position as it stood with regards to the dialogue and negotiations to date. He expressed displeasure with the level of engagement between Prime Minister Theresa May’s government and the Scottish administration.
Key areas that are cause for concern are: freedom of movement of people, goods, capital and services; agricultural funding and support; export tariffs and regulations; environmental regulation; and the protection of human rights. Questions from the audience ranged from concerns over the Scottish NHS to the position of non-nationals.
