The impact of EU membership in Scotland

This briefing was written to support the Scottish Parliament's European and External Relations Committee’s inquiry into 'EU reform and the EU referendum: implications for Scotland' (published in March 2016).

The briefing set out what EU membership means for Scotland. The briefing includes an analysis of the data relating to Scotland’s economic and social links with the EU and covers topics such as trade, inward investment, migration, public finance, higher education, transport, energy, agriculture and fisheries and the environment.
