Wales Beyond Brexit

Plaid Cymrus Positive Post-Brexit Plan

 General Election 17| Wales Beyond Brexit

Introduction / Cyflwyniad
Wales Beyond Brexit Giving Wales the money,
power and respect it deserves
Plaid Cymru accepts and always has accepted the result of the Referendum. Wales is going to leave the
European Union. It is now about looking at the kind of Wales we want beyond Brexit.
Plaid Cymru continues to support Waless membership of the Single Market and Customs Union. However,
with the Conservatives and Labour parties resigned to leaving both, it is our responsibility to the people of
Wales to outline a contingency plan to show how we can mitigate the risks and capitalise on the
opportunities of Brexit. It is time to move on and face the political realities of the situation.
The only people that are trying to relive the Referendum are the politicians that falsely claim that we are
denying it. However, in reality, this is nothing short of an attempt to divert voters attention away from the
fact that they have no vision for Wales beyond Brexit.
Their dangerous ignorance is evident in their willingness to walk away from the EU with no deal with no
deal to protect Welsh jobs, with no deal to protect Welsh wages, with no deal to protect Welsh agriculture,
with no deal to make sure Wales prospers beyond Brexit.
Plaid Cymru will not let this happen. Plaid Cymru will only work towards a good deal for Wales. A deal
where Wales can maximise the opportunities and minimise the risks of Brexit.
Since the day after the Referendum, Wales has been forgotten. Its needs and wants tossed aside as
Westminster and Whitehall struggles to manage the fallout from the vote to leave the European Union. It
is imperative that we make Wales matter. That we make sure London knows it cannot ride roughshod over
Wales.
Wales needs the money, the powers and fundamentally the respect it deserves to succeed. And it is only
by electing Plaid Cymru MPs that we will get it. The money to keep the cogs of our economy turning; the
powers so that we can take decisions into our own hands; and the respect to ensure that we can hold our
head high as a nation and make sure Wales can succeed throughout Brexit and beyond.
Plaid Cymru is the only party with a plan to protect, promote and project Wales on the global stage
throughout Brexit and beyond. In Cardiff Bay, Westminster, and Brussels, Plaid Cymru has been fighting
Waless corner. We have been making your voice heard, making our nations voice heard. This plan builds
on Plaid Cymrus work in every parliament in which we are present, representing and championing the
Welsh national interest putting our nation and our people above all else.
This positive post-Brexit plan, based around five key policy areas, will allow Wales not only to survive, but
thrive after Brexit. We will allow the Welsh economy to stand on its own two feet, give workers and
communities across Wales the dignity of well-paid work and create an internationally competitive business
community that works for Wales.
By mitigating the risks and seizing the opportunities created by Brexit, we can ensure Wales prospers. With
this plan we can make Waless voice heard. By electing Plaid Cymru MPs you can make Wales matter
throughout Brexit and beyond.

Protecting Welsh Jobs and Wages A Foreign
Trade Deal Shield
The UK Government is expected to leave the EU
Customs Union. This means the responsibility for
striking foreign trade deals will fall to the UK
Government for the first time since joining the
European bloc in 1973.
Leaving the Customs Union will not only mean the
prospect of tariffs on trade with the EU, but also the 56
other nations the EU Customs Union has negotiated
free trade deals with both bilaterally and unilaterally.
This means the UK will have to negotiate new deals on
its own with countries it currently has agreements in
place with, such as Mexico, South Korea and Chile, as
well as the EU Customs Union bloc itself.
Alongside these existing trade relationships being re-
negotiated, it is expected that the UK Government will
seek to agree quick trade deals with countries it has not
previously had trade deals with, for example the
United States of America and India.
The UK will be in a significantly weakened position
when negotiating such trade deals, as it will no longer
be a part of the largest trade bloc (the EU Customs
Union, even minus the UK), and account for only
around 2.4% of global GDP, 2.1% of global trade in
goods, and 4.3% of global trade in services.
In this weakened position and in desperation to seal
trade deals, vital restrictions on foreign produce which
protect domestic Welsh producers could be dropped.
Key industries such as agriculture could face being
undercut by bans on genetically modified food being
lifted, in turn harming Welsh agriculture and public
health.
Argentinean and American beef, as well as New
Zealand lamb, which would fail to meet our current
safety standards, could be imported at cheaper costs
and greater volumes, undermining our farms and rural
communities. Chinese and Korean steel dumped on our
economy could put our factories in Port Talbot,
Llanwern, Trostre and Shotton at risk again. Public
services such as the NHS are also likely to be opened up
1
General Election 17| Wales Beyond Brexit
to greater private sector involvement, as was the case
with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership (TTIP). TTIP put Welsh hospitals at greater
risk of private sector involvement and would have likely
made re-nationalisation of services, in health or any
other sector, impossible.
Across Europe sub-national and regional parliaments
are able to vote on trade deals to ensure their interests
are considered. It is even possible that aspects of the
Brexit withdrawal will have to be agreed by the
regional parliaments of many EU nations.
Plaid Cymru will ensure that our vital industries and
public services will be defended from foreign trade
deals which could decimate the Welsh economy and
undermine our NHS. This will be done by creating a
Foreign Trade Deal Shield ensuring the National
Assembly for Wales has to endorse any trade deal,
making Waless voice heard in the Brexit negotiations
and beyond.
Unlike the UK as a whole, Wales is a net exporter,
meaning Wales sells more than it imports. Now more
than ever Wales needs to demonstrate its credentials
as a global trading nation to allow existing businesses
to access markets across the world and attract new
businesses to Wales.
This is why Plaid Cymru will push to create a Welsh
Development Agency (WDA) for the 21st century. The
function of the Welsh Governments Trade and Inward
Investment Team will be absorbed into the new Welsh
Development Agency, as well as its current budget
allocation of 2 million. Alongside its budget being ring-
fenced, we will provide a further 8 million from the
Business Wales budget that currently holds
responsibility for Welsh exports and trade activities.
This creates 10 million in total.
However the agency will not be fully funded by the
Welsh Government it will be a partnership between
the public and private sector in order to fund

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) activities and expand
and diversify Waless exports.
This new WDA for the 21st century will be working
closer than ever before with businesses and we will
General Election 17| Wales Beyond Brexit
develop a more focused economic plan by assessing
the needs of our nearest neighbours and the
opportunities for Welsh firms to increase exports to
England, the rest of the UK and beyond.

Plaid Cymru will defend Waless businesses and public services from dangerous UK Government negotiated trade
deals, as well as promote Welsh producers globally by:
Making all foreign trade deals subject to scrutiny and endorsement by the National Assembly for Wales, as is the
case with many sub-national parliaments across Europe.

Stop any foreign trade deals that would allow for cheap foreign imports to undermine our core industries such as
steel and agriculture.

Promote Welsh businesses through representation in embassies worldwide and a Welsh Development Agency for
the 21st century to encourage international investment and domestic innovation.

 General Election 17| Wales Beyond Brexit

Buy Welsh A Welsh procurement policy

Directives governing procurement rules will no longer
apply upon Waless exit from the European Union. This
means we will have more freedom to tailor
procurement policy to focus on boosting Welsh
businesses.
Currently, the Welsh public sector spends
approximately 4.3 billion procuring goods from
external organisations. Around half (53%) of that
spending currently stays in Wales. This means over 2
billion in Welsh money is being spent in other
countries, supporting jobs and wages outside of Wales,
when it could be being spent in Wales.
Other countries have much better rates of
procurement spend staying in their economies. For
example, Germany at has a staggering 99% and France
a similarly impressive 98% of procurement spending
staying within its economy. This means more jobs,
better wages and a more resilient economy.
Plaid Cymru will legislate to make it mandatory for
public sector bodies to follow Welsh Government
policy on procurement. This legislation will set targets
of keeping 80% of first-tier Welsh public procurement
expenditure within Wales, with locally-owned or
locally-controlled firms. Our procurement legislation
will also contain provisions requiring the ethical
treatment of workers, environmental
protections and ensure industrial standards of good
practice are followed.
Furthermore, our Welsh procurement legislation will
ensure that all recipients of Welsh Government funds
(suppliers, grant recipients and other public sector
bodies) must institute a Welsh supplier development
programme, with a commitment to support local
companies wherever practically possible.
According to the Welsh Governments own formula,
every 1% increase in public procurement spending will
create 2,000 full time equivalent (FTE) jobs. This means
our realistic and achievable 25% increase in Welsh
contracts going to domestically based companies
would create 50,000 new jobs.
Wales is home to many world-leading products,
whether it is in the food and drink sector, industrial
products, steel, electronics or a range of other sectors.
We must recognise, celebrate and promote these
brands and products both at home and abroad to
ensure Welsh businesses have the visibility they need
to compete in the competitive globalised marketplace.
Plaid Cymru will therefore also launch a Welsh
Government backed 'Buy Welsh' campaign which is
currently not possible under EU regulations with an
official 'Made in Wales' kitemark on all certified
products.

Plaid Cymru will ensure that Welsh public money is spent in Wales and that Welsh businesses are supported and
celebrated at home and abroad by:
Bringing forward new legislation to ensure 80% of first-tier Welsh public procurement expenditure within
Wales, in turn creating 50,000 new Welsh jobs.

Require that all businesses that receive Welsh Government funds must institute a Welsh supplier development
programme, with a commitment to support local companies wherever practically possible.

Launch a Welsh Government backed 'Buy Welsh' campaign with an official 'Made in Wales' kitemark on all
certified products.

5

A New Welsh Deal Guarantee the future of
funding for Wales
Plaid Cymru will fight to secure the money pledged to
Wales by the Leave campaign and Westminster. Wales
was promised the current levels of funding from
Europe by the UK Government, and extra money for
the NHS as a result of no longer paying into the EU.
Leaving the European Union, Single Market and
associated institutions means Wales will lose the 680
million a year it receives in funding as a result of EU
membership. During the Referendum, the Leave
campaign promised there would be an additional 350
million a week to be spent on the NHS following Brexit.
This amounts to 17.5 million a week for Wales, and
means Wales must receive 1.5 billion a year to ensure
it receives the money it was promised.
Despite the UK being a net contributor to the EU, Wales
is a net beneficiary, meaning Wales receives more
money than it pays in. This is through a combination of
European Structural Funds, the Common Agricultural
Policy and several other funds, supporting everything
from the arts to biodiversity.
The European Structural Fund was set up to implement
the EUs regional policy with the aim to reduce regional
disparities in income, wealth and opportunities. Being
one of the poorest nations in the EU, Wales receives
315 million a year to improve impoverished
communities. Evidence shows that this has resulted in
the creation of 36,970 jobs and 11,925
businesses across Wales. It has also helped 72,700
people into work, 56,055 into further education and
234,335 to gain new qualifications.
By leaving the EU, Welsh farms are set to lose European
grants that account for up to 80% of their income. The
200 million a year Common Agricultural Policy
provides payments to more than 16,000 Welsh farms.
Farming unions in Wales have warned that leaving the
European Union could signal the demise of their
industry, as many farmers will not be able to survive
without this level of funding. Plaid Cymru seeks to
6
General Election 17| Wales Beyond Brexit
ensure that this is replaced by the UK Government, so
that vibrant rural communities, built around farming,
can continue to be successful.
Welsh education and science has also received some
183.4 million in total between 2002 and 2013 and a
further 29 million from lifelong learning funds in 2007-
13. Bangor University has received almost 100 million
from the EU and has warned that they expect to lose
around half of their total research income if current EU
funding streams are not replaced.
At a time of unprecedented uncertainty Wales needs
an investment plan to sure up its economic
foundations. That is why alongside ensuring that the EU
money promised to Wales continues, Plaid Cymru is
calling for a Marshall Plan for the Welsh economy.
Under our plans, 1billion in UK Government funding
would be invested in Wales. Wales has suffered from
chronic underfunding by successive UK Governments
it is crucial now more than ever for Wales to get its fair
share. Our fair share of railway investment, research
council funding and innovation grants to stimulate and
safeguard Welsh economic growth.
Plaid Cymru believes the growth, prosperity and future
of Wales depends on upholding the levels of funding
currently received from the EU to sustain the farming
industry, our research institutions and our poorest
communities. The money promised to Wales during the
referendum amounted to 1.5billion a year Plaid
Cymru will not accept a penny less.
Plaid Cymru also believes that if Wales is going to
survive and thrive throughout Brexit and beyond, the
UK Government must show its commitment to Wales
through a 1billion investment programme in
infrastructure and innovation. Fundamentally, we
want to see a New Welsh Deal, that would see a total
investment package of 2.5billion for the Welsh
economy, boosting jobs, wages and growth.
 General Election 17| Wales Beyond Brexit
Plaid Cymru will fight to ensure that any Government delivers the Leave Campaigns promises of prosperity made
to the people of Wales by:
Wales is in danger of losing 680 million a year in EU funding. Plaid Cymru will fight to ensure that this
money is replaced by Westminster as was promised.

Wales deserves its fair share of the 350 million a week guaranteed during. Plaid Cymru will hold the
Government to account and ensure the Welsh NHS gets the 17.5 million a week it was promised.

To sure up the Welsh economy at this time of unprecedented uncertainty, the UK Government must invest
a further 1billion in Welsh infrastructure and innovation. Fundamentally, we want to see a New Welsh
Deal, with new funding arrangements worth 2.5billion to the Welsh economy.
