Motion · S4M-05198 · 12 Dec 2012
Change of Rules for Regional Selective Assistance
The motion
That the Parliament understands that, in a matter of days, the European Commission may change the rules for Regional Selective Assistance funding that have to date provided for global companies employing more than 250 employees to attract financial support for locating in areas of high unemployment and is gravely concerned that this will mean that many companies will no longer locate to Scotland as Aviva and Amazon have done, thereby creating many hundreds of jobs in areas of high unemployment, and hopes that all MSPs and the Scottish Government will make representations to Commissioner Almunia urgently.
