Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Minister, you've been reminding many people in some of the interviews that you've been doing this week that you've been deliberating the common agricultural policy replacement scheme for seven years now. Yet here we are, 12…

Thank you.

And potentially with less scope to absorb the hit as well, I suppose, than other larger organisations. But the message, I think, is clear and consistent across the sector. Just finally from me, then, if I may, and very briefly. Clearly, there's the impact the…

And Bill.

Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with practitioners (4)
Diolch. So, how is that impact that you've outlined there manifesting itself in an economic sense? Tell us about how it's impacting the financial viability of the creative sector in Wales, and particularly, maybe, within your own area of focus. Are you making…

There we are, thank you.

No, but you'd imagine, maybe, that trying to promote Wales on an international level as a centre of excellence is somewhat undermined, maybe, by the current situation in which the sector operates.

Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with trade unions (3)
Okay. Can I just ask as well, then: television and film production, of course, is one of three centres of excellence in the Welsh Government's international strategy. What impact do the post-Brexit arrangements have on promoting Wales to the world as a centre…

Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with trade unions (3)
Okay, thank you for that. So, you're finding yourselves having to fill a lot of the gaps, really, are you, in terms of providing that advice? Because we heard in a previous session from UK Music that they were talking to the UK Government about a central…

Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with trade unions (3)
Diolch yn fawr iawn. I just wanted to ask about the guidance and support that's available out there, because, clearly, it's quite a fraught landscape and I was just wondering how different the needs of the cultural sector are in that respect to other sectors…

Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with trade unions (3)
Diolch.
, Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee
Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with trade unions (3)
Okay. Thank you for that. And what about the reciprocal impact, then, because obviously there would have been cultural workers from the EU working in Wales prior to our departure from the EU? Do we have any figures, or can we quantify what level that was at…

Culture and the new relationship with the European Union: evidence session with trade unions (3)
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I was going to ask about how this has impacted the financial viability of the creative professions in Wales, so I think Andy has given us a flavour of that. I was just wondering whether Carwyn or Simon had anything to add, and also whether…

The final item, therefore, is that I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(vi) and (ix), that the committee resolves to meet in private for the meeting taking place on Wednesday 6 March. Are Members content? There we are. Thank you. If you are…

Papers to note
We as a committee have a few items still to dispose of on our agenda. We have, as item 4, a number of papers to note, from 4.1 to 4.7. Would Members wish to comment or are you happy to take them as noted? Yes. Okay. Diolch yn fawr. We'll note those papers.

Can I also thank you, Minister, and your officials for your attendance? And, as always, I advise you that you will be sent a transcript of the meeting to check for factual accuracy. I would also like to thank the clerking team, the research team and the legal…

Group 23: Part 9 – General provisions: Transitional arrangements (Amendment 183)
Diolch, Gweinidog. Okay. But we need to conclude the voting first. So, the question is that amendment 183 be agreed to. Does any Member object? We have no objections, so amendment 183 is agreed.

Group 23: Part 9 – General provisions: Transitional arrangements (Amendment 183)
Thank you, Minister. Any Members wishing to speak? Oh, go on. Surely somebody. [Laughter.] No. Okay. Thank you. Minister, would you like to respond to your own comments?

Group 23: Part 9 – General provisions: Transitional arrangements (Amendment 183)
I therefore move amendment 183 in the name of the Minister, and call on her to speak to her amendment. Minister.
