Proposals to go ahead in Wales worry breweries, who say they'll be disadvantaged against big rivals.
Simon Buckley, of Evan Evans Brewery, based in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, said it would mean more bureaucracy if the Welsh government pressed ahead.Evan Evans Brewery says it would be instantly put at a disadvantage against larger companies
He also feared a "nightmare scenario" where somebody could arrive at his brewery and "demand that I refund them for, say, 1,000 bottles of which only 10 may be mine". However, according to Keep Wales Tidy's Jo Golley, the Welsh government is right to include glass as a clear message which will help the public understand and take part in the scheme.
She said "a reading of the UK Internal Markets Act will tell you that no one nation can interrupt the commerce of another. Well, it's England that's the outlier here and I think they need to understand that." The Welsh government has not indicated whether it pursues the legal route yet, but after Scotland decided to pause its plans after the UK government's intervention, Ms James said her plans had not changed.Legally, she can continue, according to Ms Sargeant. But she questioned the effectiveness of the scheme if it only applied in Wales.
