Recognising Scotland in Europe

As an amendment to motion S5M-20625 in the name of Fiona Hyslop (Recognising Scotland in Europe), leave out from “as a symbol of membership” to end and insert "in recognition of membership of the European Union; continues to welcome and value EU citizens who have made their home in Scotland and the huge contribution that they make; recognises the importance of the future relationship within the family of European nations and the important role that the Scottish Parliament has in fostering that; notes the explanation brought forward by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) as to why it took the decision to stop flying the flag of the European Union, and recognises that such decisions are best made by the SPCB operating on a non-partisan basis."
