Hamilton (Mid and West Wales)
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Welcomes the First Minister's fact-finding trip to Norway to see for himself
the regulatory burdens and costs imposed on Norway by full membership of the
EU's Single Market.
2.
Notes that these burdens and costs fall on all Norway's businesses, whether
they export to the EU or not.
3.
Believes that:
a)
it is in Wales's best interests for laws and regulations to be made by
Britain's democratically-elected representatives in Westminster and Cardiff,
not remote and unaccountable officials in Brussels; and
b)
Single Market membership would preclude effective control of immigration of EU
citizens into the UK, thus undermining the referendum result and frustrating
the wishes of a majority of Wales's voters.
4.
Notes that the EU currently exports £8 billion more in goods to the UK every
month than the UK exports to the EU.
5.
Supports the UK Government's general negotiating position of seeking the
maximum degree of free trade with the EU consistent with firm immigration
control.
