Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, for the opportunity to speak to the Plaid Cymru amendment and on the motion more broadly. There are three clauses to the original motion, and there are two of them that I would have no problem with, along the lines suggested earlier. There are some quite obvious statements: recognising the historic importance of fisheries in Wales in the first section, and then calling on the Governments to ensure the best for Wales as the Brexit process is completed. The one section that I'm not comfortable with is the second, which welcomes the fact that we will leave the European Union. It will be no surprise to anyone that I don't welcome the fact that we're leaving. I do accept that we're leaving, of course, but I don't think that it's a cause for celebration, certainly not from my perspective. So, Plaid Cymru wishes to delete that second point, but we also want to add a few more.

First of all, that me recognise the significant importance of the European Union as a destination for Welsh seafood produce, and that we want to ensure that that market continues to be open and is easily accessible in the future. Now, we know, of course, and we have heard in hearing the opening of this debate, the value of the fish sector and the shellfish sector particularly. We export over 90 per cent of that produce, and much of it to the European Union, and Welsh fisheries, aquaculture producers, and seafood producer supply chains are particularly open and vulnerable to damage as the result of any barriers to the export of their produce, be they tariffs or other barriers. I will quote what James Wilson from Bangor Mussel Producers said—I'm sure many of you will know him—he said a few months ago, and I quote from an article:
