Delete all and replace with:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

Welcomes:

a) the agreement between the Welsh and UK governments on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill;

b) that this will protect the UK internal market and ensure no new barriers are created within the UK for consumers and businesses;

c) that this means the vast majority of EU powers that intersect with devolved competences will go directly to the devolved parliaments and assemblies when the UK leaves the EU;

d) the duty placed on UK Ministers to seek the agreement of the devolved legislatures each time they propose to make regulations to put a policy area into the clause 11 “freeze”;

e) the time-limit introduced on the temporary constraint on devolved competence; and

f) that this means the Welsh Government will now recommend that the National Assembly for Wales pass a legislative consent motion for the EU (Withdrawal) Bill.
