Abstract
Local government in Scotland is greatly affected by the EU, with regulations and targets to implement that involve large compliance costs far outweighing any EU funding, writes Serafin Pazos-Vidal. He argues that the debate on the UK’s EU membership brings an opportunity for important EU reform to involve local government better in EU decisions both at national and European level.
