EU membership within a decade considered achievable, asserts Scottish minister
Scotland's Minister for Foreign Relations, Angus Robertson, has expressed optimism about Scotland's potential re-entry into the European Union (EU) within a decade. The Scottish National Party (SNP), which is responsible for independence in the Edinburgh regional government, is pushing for a referendum to make a decision on Scotland's re-entry into the EU.
Work on the referendum is already underway, according to Robertson. The SNP's goal remains steadfast, as they aim to hold a referendum on Scotland's re-entry into the EU. Support for a second referendum on Scotland's independence has remained consistent since the first referendum eleven years ago.
Robertson believes a united Ireland could also join the EU within the same timeframe. However, the potential obstacle to Scotland rejoining the EU is British politicians who do not want to lose Scotland. The British government must agree to a Scottish independence referendum.
In addition to EU membership, the SNP is also focusing on Scotland's interest in exporting hydrogen and renewable energy. Scotland's interest lies in exporting hydrogen and renewable energy, particularly to Germany. Robertson is in regular communication with German ministries and companies regarding potential hydrogen exports. Direct exports between Scotland and Germany are a possibility, but progress needs to be made for the pipelines to be realised.
A network for electricity and hydrogen from renewable sources is being considered for this purpose. The Scottish National Party believes that their efforts for a referendum should not be hindered by London's internal politics. British politicians may find reasons to delay a Scottish independence referendum.
However, Robertson continues to push for a second referendum on Scotland's independence from the UK, aiming for it to happen as soon as possible. The SNP seeks a close partnership with the EU and Germany for potential hydrogen and renewable energy exports.
Noteworthy, Australian politicians have not been mentioned in connection with this matter; no information about their views on Scotland's or a united Ireland's potential EU membership is available from the search results.
As the push for a Scottish independence referendum and EU re-entry continues, the future of Scotland's relationship with the EU and its energy exports remains uncertain. Yet, with the consistent support for a second referendum and the determination of the SNP, Scotland's aspirations may come to fruition in the coming years.
