10/10/22 - Pollution rules delayed, International Trade.
Delays to the introduction of rules aimed to reduce agricultural pollution in Wales. Plus the impact on trade with the EU since Brexit.
New rules aimed at reducing agricultural pollution in rivers in Wales are being delayed by the Welsh Government for three months. The introduction of an all-Wales nitrate vulnerable zone is opposed by farming unions and opposition parties. Campaign group the Welsh Rivers Union, tell us the delay is disappointing, and hope this is not a sign the policy is being pushed into the long grass.
And as we begin a week looking at international trade we speak to the head of Copa-Cogeca, the strongest interest group representing European farmers, about how trade has been affected since the UK left the European Union.
