Preparations for replacing EU funding for Wales
Preparations for replacing EU funding for Wales
The
Finance Committee undertook an inquiry into
the preparations for replacing EU funding streams in Wales, after the UK leaves
the EU.
The
Committee’s inquiry focused on the preparations for replacing EU funding
streams when the UK leaves the EU, and how replacement funding might be
administered.
The
terms of reference for the inquiry were:
- to assess the financial planning
for replacing EU funding streams in Wales, and what is being done to
prepare for different potential scenarios around levels of funding and
administrative responsibility.
- to explore what approaches to
administering replacements for current EU funding streams might deliver
best for Wales, and to what extent these might replicate or differ from
current arrangements.
The Committee
published its report
(PDF 2MB) on this inquiry in September 2018. The Welsh Government responded to
the Committee’s report on 7
November 2018 (PDF 643KB).
