UK-Ukraine Free Trade & Strategic Partnership Agreement

The Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee was set up by the Senedd to look at policy and legislation, and to hold the Welsh Government to account on specific areas.

International trade is one of the areas included in the remit of the Committee.

On 23 February, the UK Government laid an exchange of letters between the UK and Ukraine agreeing amendments to their Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement (“the Agreement”). The letters are referred to as ‘Agreement No.1’.

On 16 March 2023, the Committee discussed the agreement and agreed to write to Welsh Government.
