European, Foreign, Scotland and Immigration Policy Working Group

efsip@pirateparty.org.uk

As part of Policy 2012, the European, Foreign, Scotland and Immigration Policy Working Group (EFSIP for short) will look at the relationship between the UK and its neighbours, as well as the relationships between members of the union. It will be asked to develop policies in areas of vital national interest, including immigration and the UK's relationship with the Euro-zone 16 and the wider European Union.

The mailing list has a web page.
