Welcome to the fourth edition of the Fisheries and Brexit Bulletin. As the UK prepares to leave the EU, it is a time of great change and uncertainty for the fishing industry.
The Minister for the Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths AM said;
“The fishing industry needs to start preparing for a no-deal Brexit so they can continue to import and export fish and fish products once the UK leaves the EU”
We intend this bulletin will;
- Help you understand the implications of Brexit on the fishing industry in Wales;
- Assist you in preparing your business for 29 March 2019 when we leave the EU;
- Let you know what support is available, to help you and your business make the transition;
This will be a regular bulletin that will give you updated information, please read each edition to stay informed.
We want to encourage as many people as possible to sign up online at
