EC takes no action over light ‘stunt’

The European Commission investigated a “stunt” orchestrated by the SNP which involved a projection being beamed on to the side of the European Commission headquarters in Brussels.

As we previously reported, Scotland’s largest political party was behind a light display proclaiming “Europe loves Scotland” on the day the UK left the EU.

Double Take Projections were responsible for projecting the image on to the Berlaymont building, which The Courier understands was broadcast from a private flat above the Old Hack pub in Brussels.

Because the projection came from beyond the building’s “security perimeter”, staff at the Berlaymont reported the projection to Brussels police for further investigation.

But no “further” action was taken by the authorities, due to the “short” nature of the project, a commission spokesperson said.

The commission itself has decided not to take any further action.

Double Take Projections and the SNP were approached for comment.
