Rwyf wedi rhoi caniatâd ffurfiol i Ysgrifennydd Gwladol yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig osod Rheoliadau REACH (Diwygio) 2023 yn Senedd y DU. Mae'r offeryn statudol hwn yn ymestyn y terfynau amser trosiannol ar gyfer cofrestru cemegau presennol gyda'r Awdurdod Gweithredol Iechyd a Diogelwch (HSE) gan fusnesau Prydain Fawr yn dilyn Gadael yr UE, o dair blynedd. Pwrpas yr estyniad hwn yw galluogi adolygu a diweddaru y rheolau ar gofrestru, er mwyn lleihau'r costau i fusnesau a darparu data mwy defnyddiol i reoleiddwyr Prydain. Mae'r terfynau amser ar gyfer gwirio coflenni cofrestru gan yr HSE hefyd yn cael eu hymestyn.


Gwneir y Rheoliadau hyn gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol, wrth arfer y pwerau a roddir gan adran 140 o Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd 2021, a pharagraff 1 o Atodlen 21 i Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd 2021\. Dim ond yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol all arfer y pwerau hyn o wneud rheoliadau i ddiwygio Rheoliadau REACH ac ni all Gweinidogion Cymru na'r Alban eu harfer ar wahân. Fodd bynnag, yn rhinwedd paragraff 3 o Atodlen 21 i Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd 2021 ac Erthygl 4 o Reoliad REACH, rhaid i'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ofyn am gydsyniad Gweinidogion Cymru os, ac i’r graddau, y bydd arfer y swyddogaeth gwneud rheoliadau o fewn cymhwysedd datganoledig (o fewn ystyr adran 58A(7\) ac (8\) o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006\).


Gellir gweld rhagor o wybodaeth am y newidiadau hyn a'r rhesymau drostynt yn y ddogfen canlyniadau ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar gov.uk.


Caiff y datganiad ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.







Translation:


 
I have given formal consent to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs laying the REACH (Amendment) Regulations 2023 in Parliament. This statutory instrument extends the transitional deadlines for the registration of existing chemicals with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) by GB businesses following EU Exit by three years. The purpose of this extension is to enable the rules on registration to be reviewed and updated, both to reduce the costs to businesses and to provide more useful data to GB regulators. The deadlines for the checking of registration dossiers by the HSE are also being extended.


These Regulations are made by the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 140 of, and paragraph 1 of Schedule 21 to, the Environment Act 2021\. These regulation\-making powers to amend the REACH Regulation can only be exercised by the Secretary of State and are not exercisable separately by the Welsh or Scottish Ministers. However, by virtue of paragraph 3 of Schedule 21 to the Environment Act 2021 and Article 4 of the REACH Regulation, the Secretary of State must seek the consent of the Welsh Ministers if, or to the extent that, the exercise of the regulation making function is within devolved competence (within the meaning of section 58A(7\) and (8\) of the Government of Wales Act 2006\).


Further information on these changes and the reasons for them may be found in the public consultation outcome document on gov.uk.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.
