This question is not applicable to us.
The biggest impact we have seen is when buying equipment for the institution from EU countries: the process is slower but has not caused us too much trouble.
The guidelines we use are accessible and understandable.
The EU has supported a number of Library projects in the past and it goes without saying that our culture will be poorer in the future if we are unable to receive EU grants. Nothing has taken their place so far.
The Welsh Government efforts in building relationships with some of the EU members, such as France for example, is laudable and provides Welsh institutions with opportunities to build relationships with them as well. We hope that the Welsh Government's culture strategy (which is yet to be published) will open new avenues for us to be able to build new cultural bridges between us and our neighbours in Europe.
