THE "reality" is that Scotland would never need to adopt the euro in order to join the EU – although it may have to indicate plans to do so, multiple experts on European law and politics have told The National.
It comes after the Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross claimed that “Nicola Sturgeon’s plans for separation are in tatters” amid reports that the EU requires prospective member states to sign up to adopting the euro.
Ross quoted an article from The Times at First Minister’s Questions on Thursday, claiming that an independent Scotland would “be refused entry” to the EU if it would not adopt the euro.
