Purpose of the consultation
Background
The
External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee agreed to look at Wales’s
future relationship with the European Union.
The
External Affairs
Committee’s first phase of work, running from July 2016 to January
2017, focused on identifying the
implications for Wales of leaving the European Union.
At
the
meeting of the European Council on 14 December 2017, the EU27
leaders agreed that sufficient progress has been achieved in the first phase of
the Brexit negotiations.
On
this basis, they adopted the draft guidelines to move to the second phase of
negotiations where they will also start discussions on a transition period and
the framework for the future relationship.
In
light of these developments, the Committee agreed to launch and inquiry into
Wales’s future relationship with the European Union. In terms of its approach,
the Committee agreed to consolidate the work it has done to date and augment it
with current stakeholder positions.
This
is to enable effective scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s input into the
negotiations and to ensure that the issues of most importance to Wales are
being adequately represented in the negotiations.

The
External Affairs Committee invited written submissions that addressed the terms
of reference and the objectives for the inquiry.

- the Welsh Government’s position;

The deadline for
