Recommendation 10

Should there be a deal then we urge the UK Government to continue working with the EU and business groups in 2021 to explore how non-tariff barriers and additional burdens and costs can be minimised for Welsh producers. For example, we are concerned about the implications of new processes and checks for just in time supply chains. In the event that a deal cannot be struck then we call on the UK Government to write to us with evidence of preparations and proposals to mitigate any specific risks to the Welsh economy as a result of trading with the EU on WTO terms.
