The SNP once again naively thinks the EU will be the saviour of Scotland.
£34M whilst welcome, it is a very small amount of money.
Monies have been allocated to Glasgow Works, StARTworks, programmes in Dundee and Renfrewshire and 43 projects in the Highlands and Islands. Which projects in the Highlands & Islands I wonder?
Another Job creation scheme which fails in the long term.

Euro funds will ‘safeguard jobs’
More than £34m in European Commission grants is to be shared among projects in Scotland.
The money has been allocated to Glasgow Works, StARTworks, programmes in Dundee and Renfrewshire and 43 projects in the Highlands and Islands.
First Minister Alex Salmond said the funding would safeguard and create jobs, helping 28,000 people across Scotland to find or keep jobs.
The funding was announced at the National Job Summit in Glasgow.
The money has been allocated from the European Regional Development and European Social funds.
Mr Salmond said: “This announcement of more than £34m European funding will deliver vital support such as training opportunities to communities across Scotland, helping 28,000 individuals find fresh employment while assisting business growth, urban regeneration and rural development.”
