The second and final question is, that motion S2M-1098, in the name of Richard Lochhead, on enlargement of the European Union, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament welcomes the enlargement of the European Union that will see 10 new member states join on 1 May 2004; recognises that this provides both challenges and opportunities to Scotland, and encourages the Scottish Executive to promote actively the benefits of enlargement across Scotland.
