To propose that the National Assembly for
Wales:

the UK indefinitely in the customs union and, effectively, in the single
market, while depriving us of any formal voice or vote in European Union
decisions.

with no deal and under World Trade Organisation terms, in order to fulfil the
wishes of the people of the UK, and Wales, who voted decisively to leave the
European Union.
3.
Calls upon the UK Government and the Welsh Government to embrace the
restoration of Britain's national sovereignty outside the European Union.
[If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will
be de-selected]
