Sir, – Michael Drury's rather dry analysis (February 26th) of why Spain won't object to an independent Scotland's entry into the EU is needlessly legalistic. Spain won't object because, having fished its own waters to extinction, the only place left for its fleets to trawl are off the Scottish coast, and that can't happen if Scotland is not part of the EU's "Beggar Your Neighbour Club" – Yours, etc,
