Last November the UK Government Minister asked Brussels to convene a meeting to discuss the tariffs. They agreed to that, but the time delays after that led to the outgoing economy Minister here, Edwina Hart, saying two months ago the rules were ‘rather inflexible’ and had driven her mad. When I raised this with the First Minister and what discussions he had had with the European Commission when we were recalled at the beginning of April, all he said was,

‘we have been in correspondence with the Commission’.

Do you agree with me that we need to know what dialogue has been occurring between the Welsh Government and the European Commission over these months?
