The National
Assembly for Wales:
1. Believes that
sheep, which have previously been referred to as woolly maggots, should be returned
to Welsh hillsides.
2. Regrets that the
decision to remove grazing rights from the Welsh uplands has resulted in huge
damage to the Welsh uplands, wildlife and general environment.
3. Calls on the
Welsh Government to remove any incentives that encourage the removal of
livestock from upland areas and, instead, provide incentives for those areas to
be repopulated with livestock.
The following
amendment has been tabled:
Amendment 1 - Paul
Davies (Preseli Pembrokeshire)

to rural communities and the rural economy.

farmers in Wales for the future, as highlighted in 'The Future of the Welsh
Uplands after the Common Agricultural Policy' report.

the industry to develop a policy for Welsh upland farming that protects its
sustainability for the future.
