How do Scottish holidaymakers benefit from the EU?

The EU provides protections for holidaymakers travelling within the 28 Member States. If you become ill or have an accident anywhere in the EU, you can access the same public healthcare as the residents of the country you are visiting. If your journey to an EU country is delayed or cancelled, you are entitled to compensation, and from the middle of 2017 roaming charges will be removed – meaning cheaper phone calls.
