JOINT EFA DECLARATION ON THE FUTURE OF
THE CONSTRUCTION OF EUROPE BY THE EDINBURGH GROUP
Yesterday, representatives from independentists parties within the European Union, signed a Political Declaration, in demand of the recognition of the internal enlargement.
At the meeting, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, attended the top representatives of the following political parties: Ian Hudghton (Scottish National Party), Ieuan Wyn Jones (Plaid Cymru, Wales), Josep Lluís Carod Rovira (Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya), Geert Lambert (Spirit, Flanders), Unai Ziarreta (Eusko Alkartasuna, Euskalherria) and Anxo Quintana (Bloque Nacioalista Galego). All these parties belong to European Free Alliance eurogroup in the European Parliament.
By internal enlargement is understood the process current non-state nations within EU, once they will access to independence, will be granted EU full membership status.
The signature is a big step forward to the coordination strategy of all those political groups. We have to bear in mind that in the years to come, in some of these nations are scheduled or preparing self-determination referenda. These are the cases of Euskalherria (2008-2010), Scotland (2010) and Catalunya (2014).
From this blog I hail this initiative, and expect it to have a real impact in the hearts and minds of eurocrats.
