Welcome to the seventh 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. |
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.
We want to encourage as many people as possible to sign up online at
