KERNOW soon?

Click HERE to read the article from THE DAY!

Cornwall is one of the poorest regions of the UK and one of the “marginal” regions of Europe… How is it being developed? What are the inhabitants of the county, the region’s industries and businesses, Cornwall Council, the UK government, and the EU, doing to improve the region’s situation?

2015 is European Year for Development in which the issue of EU spending priorities will be discussed; should the EU give so much aid to countries outside the EU when it, and the poorer regions of Europe in particular, are undergoing an economically difficult time ?

David Cameron and the Conservatives were re-elected to the UK government in May 2015. The issue of continued UK membership of the EU will therefore probably be put to a referendum; “Brexit” (i.e. the UK leaving the EU) is becoming a strong possibility… If the UK is no longer a member of the EU, what will happen to Cornwall if it no longer benefits from EU help?
