North-east Wales is of vital importance to the Welsh economy. I am working closely with the Minister for Economy and Transport to promote its many strengths as an excellent place to do business.

As this is a reserved matter the Welsh Government has not made a representation to the European Court of Human Rights. However, we are aware of the great concern in Wales around this issue and that is why I made the Turkish ambassador aware of this when I met him recently.

International trade is vital to Wales’s future prosperity. This has been recognised within the economic action plan and will also be reflected in the forthcoming international strategy.

One hundred and seven bodies comply with Welsh language standards and therefore come under duties not to treat the Welsh language less favourably than English. Eighteen health sector bodies will join them on 30 May. The commissioner and Welsh Government also work with businesses to encourage them to treat Welsh and English equally.

We actively promote Wales in Europe through the Welsh Government’s network of offices in Brussels, Paris, Dublin, Berlin and Dusseldorf. We recently hosted St David’s Day receptions in Paris, Brussels and Dublin aimed at building relationships and promoting Wales culturally, economically and politically.

The Welsh Government has long had a suite of support services designed to help Welsh companies to export their goods and services to all markets both inside and outside the EU. These will continue to be available after we leave the European Union.

We are working with a wide range of local and national partners to increase the number of Welsh speakers across the South Wales West region, in line with the vision set out in 'Cymraeg 2050'.

All of the recommendations in the report were accepted and will be delivered during the remainder of this Assembly term.
