Further information The terms of reference of the inquiry sought to address the following points: + The implications for the Welsh devolution settlement of the EU (Withdrawal) Bill as drafted. + UK-wide policy making: which EU competencies should be transferred to the National Assembly for Wales after Brexit? How should UK-wide common policy frameworks be structured, and what inter-parliamentary mechanisms would be needed to scrutinise such frameworks? + How should agricultural funding be allocated in Wales post-Brexit? Should Wales develop its own policy or be part of a wider UK policy? + What are the current mechanisms for engagement between the devolved administrations and the UK Government on trading matters? + What are the challenges facing agricultural trade in Wales when the UK left the EU?
