Protecting Scotland’s Interests in Negotiating our Future Relationship with Europe

As an amendment to motion S5M-03427 in the name of Michael Russell (Protecting Scotland’s Interests in Negotiating our Future Relationship with Europe), leave out from "the detrimental" to end and insert "that the whole of the UK, as the member state, will be leaving the EU following the UK-wide EU referendum held on 23 June 2016; recognises that trade within the UK domestic market is four times as important to Scotland compared to trade with the EU’s single market; encourages all parties and the Scottish Government to work with the UK Government and other devolved governments in the UK to achieve the best possible negotiated outcome for Scotland and for the UK, and urges the Scottish Government to stop using the outcome of the EU referendum to campaign for Scottish independence."
