Campaign group Yes For EU held a very successful workshop in Edinburgh to consider various themes about Scotland's future in the EU, including Association Agreements for candidate countries, the alternative option of EFTA. We also discussed areas where Scotland is at risk of diverging from the EU and where we will need to realign or create new arrangements such as borders, currency options, EU energy policy and the farm payment scheme.
