"Scotland’s islands are some of our bonniest spots, but they face some of the toughest conditions in the country too, and not just thanks to the weather. There is much to be welcomed in this Resolution, most particularly the call for an increase in digital connectivity for islands, better maritime access routes and better education opportunities. Steps like these will help to reduce disparities between islands and the mainland, and maintain the population in areas where it is at risk. As this Resolution illustrates so well, one size does not always fit all, and this is especially the case with Europe’s islands: even just in Scotland our islands face many different challenges and are extremely diverse places, let alone if you start to consider the differences with Greek, Italian or Danish islands. This is why it is so vital that European laws reflect this diversity and make appropriate allowances for it. I hope this Resolution demonstrates to the European Commission that they must act on some of these very sensible suggestions in order to better help our island communities face the future and the challenges it will no doubt bring."@en1
