@LADYRAMPANT you claim "of course Scotland could be in the EU" and to have a master's in EU law; I'm hoping you can clarify some points?

Nicola Sturgeon claims we can keep the pound ( pegged or Sterlingised) and join the EU.
How could we close chapter 17 of the Acquis on Monetary Policy without Governance of Monetary policies such as quantitative easing and interest rates?

Can you outline if, when and how we would meet the Copenhagen Criteria for EU membership application?

If we launch a new currency, how long would it take after depegging and initial volatility before we could start to build the 4 to 5 years track record in price stability that is a key economic Copenhagen Criteria?

Has there been any indication that the EU will provide treaty change to widen the criteria for Scotland, and isn't it the case that would then apply to all applicants, and require universal ratification in every member state's domestic Parliament or system?

And isnt it the case that the Spanish reassurance is only on the basis of meeting the legal Copenhagen Criteria of achieving Independence with a constitutional path that Westminster recognises, and not a wildcat plebiscite?

And that we couldn't begin to close any of the chapters of the Acquis that are currently reserved matters until after we had completed exit negotiations from the UK?

And do you agree that the letter from the EC to the Scottish parliament committee stating in 2014 that Independence meant leaving is genuine? And yet that after it was received Nicola Sturgeon claimed there was no risk?
