What meetings has the Welsh Government had with George Eustice, UK Farming Minister regarding the implications of the leaving the European Union on the Welsh agricultural sector?
I met with George Eustice MP, UK Minister of State for Farming, Food and the Marine Environment, on 20 July 2016, when
I was keen to seek assurances over future funding for agriculture in Wales and stress the importance of future trading relationships and access to the single market to the long-term success of our agriculture and environment sectors.
I emphasised agricultural and environmental policy is devolved to Wales and under the devolution settlement, powers repatriated from the EU in devolved areas will come to Wales. However, we will work with the UK Government to look at the emerging UK context and agree shared arrangements where it is in Wales' best interest.
