What does Europe do for us?
Tuesday 17th May 2016, central Manchester
2pm until 4pm
The upcoming EU referendum, casts a torch onto what exactly the local economic and social benefits of being a member of the EU are. On the one hand, many of our local economies and communities benefit form EU Structural funds and our businesses are part of a wider trading bloc. On the other, EU procurement law may be seen as fettering public sector purchasing and open markets mean we can do little to protect our local industries. This debate will present the pros and cons.
