Dr. Christy Ann Petit:

I will elaborate on how the internal market in the UK has been impacted to some extent and how it could be conflicting with the devolution of competencies to some members of the UK. There is even a practical example. I am not up to date as to what is the state of the legislation and if it is adopted or not, but single-use plastic in Wales would be a devolved competence and is impacted by the UK Internal Market Act, which was adopted previously and which now is much more centralised. In a way, some of the principles of the internal market that used to exist within the EU Single Market transposed to the UK reality, and then came up against the constitutional aspects of the devolved competencies. I guess that this is very problematic, for now, to my knowledge.
