At least one remaining difficulty (under international law) would be the succession of obligations in relation to the many mixed agreements concluded between the EU and the Member States (on the one side) and third countries (on the other side). For each of these treaties, an agreement should be reached with each third state concerned on the proper identity of its ‘UK’ counterparty. <br /><br />Still, from the perspective of the EU legal order this solution would allow Scotland to keep the UK’s opt-outs (subject to a possible renegotiation in the Article 50 TEU procedure) and it would allow for a smooth transition between being part of the EU as a region of a Member State and as a Member State in its own right.<br /><br />After all, Article 50 TEU allows for the postponement of the actual withdrawal (as long as necessary, given the need to first conclude an intra-UK agreement on Scottish independence) if the European Council agrees so unanimously. This unanimity requirement should not be too problematic, since Scottish EU membership would be linked to the UK’s withdrawal. Even if some Member States might have (domestic) reasons to hinder Scottish EU membership, it is in everyone’s interest to have the UK withdraw in an orderly fashion. <br /><br />Forging a package deal between the two issues could then be Scotland’s easiest road to EU membership.David Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831337726172134852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-22179768788320223382016-06-25T15:55:15.244+01:002016-06-25T15:55:15.244+01:00Don't you have Stormfront Lite to post abuse a...Don't you have Stormfront Lite to post abuse at immigrants/wet tories/dry tories/kipper tories?<br /><br />Not AldoDefinitely not another PB concern trollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-46734914463957120722016-06-25T15:54:05.255+01:002016-06-25T15:54:05.255+01:00Having no countries means either no state at all (...Having no countries means either no state at all (anarchy) or one-world government.

What matters is how the Scottish public respond to it and they seem ill-disposed to yet more witless scaremongering after tory and Labour chaos.<br /><br />It is also undeniable that we now have ample proof of where project fear lied the first time which, in conjunction with the obvious failure of the VOW, puts them on the back foot not us.<br /><br />There is also the small matter of precisely who is going to be front and centre for No for IndyRef2<br /><br />Right now it looks like it will be the tories and the likes of Ruth Davidson.
