North-east Wales is of vital importance to the Welsh economy. I am working closely with the Minister for Economy and Transport to promote its many strengths as an excellent place to do business.

As this is a reserved matter the Welsh Government has not made a representation to the European Court of Human Rights. However, we are aware of the great concern in Wales around this issue and that is why I made the Turkish ambassador aware of this when I met him recently.

International trade is vital to Wales’s future prosperity. This has been recognised within the economic action plan and will also be reflected in the forthcoming international strategy.

Mae 107 corff yn cydymffurfio â safonau’r Gymraeg ac felly’n dod o dan ddyletswyddau i beidio â thrin y Gymraeg yn llai ffafriol na’r Saesneg. Bydd 18 corff iechyd yn ymuno â nhw ar 30 Mai. Mae’r comisiynydd a’r Llywodraeth hefyd yn gweithio gyda busnesau i’w hannog i drin y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg yn gyfartal. 

We actively promote Wales in Europe through the Welsh Government’s network of offices in Brussels, Paris, Dublin, Berlin and Dusseldorf. We recently hosted St David’s Day receptions in Paris, Brussels and Dublin aimed at building relationships and promoting Wales culturally, economically and politically.

The Welsh Government has long had a suite of support services designed to help Welsh companies to export their goods and services to all markets both inside and outside the EU. These will continue to be available after we leave the European Union.

We are working with a wide range of local and national partners to increase the number of Welsh speakers across the South Wales West region, in line with the vision set out in 'Cymraeg 2050'.

All of the recommendations in the report were accepted and will be delivered during the remainder of this Assembly term.
