Come on, a list now! We must all have bits of the EU we’re really quite fond of.
I’d like to start with (because I live in Yorkshire):
– Horizon2020 funding of £743 million for Yorkshire over the next 4 years (scientific research)
– European Social Fund monies for Leeds City Area in the region of £16 million (currently open for applications)
– European Regional Development funding for Leeds City Area in the region of £23 million (currently open for applications)
– LEADER funding in the South Pennines, and our neighbouring areas of West Lancashire and Burnley
Environmental protection:
– Air Quality Directive
– Habitats Directive
– Birds Directive
Some workers’ rights:
– The Working Time Directive
– Equal Pay Directive
Anyone else got any legislation they want to keep?
