Agriculture and Brexit: A Committee session to identify key themes

Background

The External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee organised a meeting with expert witnesses to hear about the key issues for agriculture in Wales in the context of Brexit.

The meeting helped the Committee understand some of the key agricultural issues raised by Brexit with a view to mainstreaming these considerations into its future work.

Evidence gathering

The Committee had considered some of these issues previously in its report Implications for Wales of leaving the European Union.

The Assembly’s Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee conducted inquiries into the Impact of Brexit on fisheries in Wales and UK common frameworks on agriculture and environment. Please follow the embedded links to learn more about this work.

On 21 May 2018 the Committee held an evidence session on the impact of Brexit on agriculture.
