I am very pleased to inform Members that EIDCymru, the new electronic sheep movement reporting system for Wales, was successfully launched on schedule on Monday 18 January.


EIDCymru represents a significant investment of £2\.2m by the Welsh Government to provide the farming industry in Wales with a modern and robust movement reporting and traceability system for sheep.


This investment provides another safeguard against the scale and significant cost of diseases of the type we faced in 2001 with the foot and mouth disease outbreak. EIDCymru also enables keepers to report sheep and goat movements efficiently and will contribute significantly to the further development of modern and professional agricultural businesses, delivering on the important objectives sought from the Strategic Framework for Agriculture in Wales.


I have taken a strategic, step by step approach to the implementation of the system in Wales. Changes to the tagging options to identify lambs intended for slaughter were announced back in 2014 to allow farmers adequate time to prepare and make use of existing stocks of the non\-electronic slaughter tags. The change harmonises the operation of the slaughter lamb derogation arrangements in place across Great Britain, and underpins e\-reporting and improved compliance. Since November 2015, EIDCymru has been available to high throughput establishments to ensure the best possible outcome from day one. I fully recognise the importance of cross border trade and I have ensured that our system will transfer and accept data with similar systems now operating in England and Scotland.


It is essential that EIDCymru provides a platform that is accessible and easy to use by farmers whilst also meeting European regulations. I am therefore grateful to the farmers who have contributed to the development of the system and to the Livestock Identification Advisory Group which has worked closely with my officials. Their positive engagement and innovative suggestions will continue to be used to improve the system as we introduce further functions such as the electronic flock register, agent access and links to existing on farm management software systems to transfer data directly into EIDCymru.


Sheep keepers are using the electronic system to report movements of their animals, but some will continue to use the paper movement licence. Practical support is being provided by EIDCymru in conjunction with the Farming Connect programme which includes clear guidance, local evening meetings and demonstration days where farmers will be able to access the new system and receive hands\-on training. My officials will also continue to work closely with stakeholders to ensure that they support farmers to maximise the opportunities presented from this move to further on\-line services.


EIDCymru is now live and, with the assistance of the agricultural industry in Wales, support from the EIDCymru service and Farming Connect, I am keen to see the numbers of farmers using the electronic system grow quickly.


The wider benefits of an electronic system in terms of on farm efficiencies, improved links within the industry and the wider support for Welsh Lamb are there to be developed and maximised. This is precisely what is needed if we are to realise our shared vision and ambition of a modern, professional, sustainable and profitable agriculture industry in Wales.

Rwy’n falch iawn o hysbysu yr Aelodau bod EIDCymru, y system newydd i gofnodi symudiadau defaid yng Nghymru wedi ei lansio yn ôl yr amserlen ddydd Llun 18 Ionawr.

 Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi buddsoddi’n sylweddol yn EIDCymru gyda £2\.2 miliwn i sicrhau bod gan y diwydiant ffermio yng Nghymru system gofnodi symudiadau ac olrhain defaid fodern a dibynadwy.

 Mae’r buddsoddiad hwn yn ffordd arall o ddiogelu yn erbyn clefydau ar raddfa mor fawr a difrifol ac a gawsom yn 2011, gyda’r achosion o glwy’r traed a’r genau. Mae EIDCymru hefyd yn galluogi ceidwaid i gofnodi symudiadau defaid a geifr yn effeithiol a bydd yn parhau i gyfrannu’n sylweddol at ddatblygiad pellach busnesau amaethyddol modern a phroffesiynol, gan gyflawni yr amcanion pwysig o Fframwaith Strategol Amaethyddiaeth yng Nghymru.

 Rwyf wedi rhoi y system ar waith yng Nghymru mewn dull strategol, gam wrth gam.  Cafodd y newidiadau i’r opsiynau tagio i adnabod ŵyn sy’n cael eu lladd eu cyhoeddi yn ôl yn 2014, i ganiatáu amser digonol i ffermwyr baratoi a defnyddio eu stociau o dagiau lladd nad oedd yn electronig.  Mae’r newid yn cysoni’r trefniadau i lacio’r rheolau lladd sydd wedi’u sefydlu ledled Prydain, yn sail i’r system e\-gofnodi, ac yn sicrhau mwy o gydymffurfio.  Ers mis Tachwedd 2015, bu EIDCymru ar gael i sefydliadau, i sicrhau y canlyniad gorau posib o’r cychwyn cyntaf. Rwy’n cydnabod pwysigrwydd masnachu traws\-ffiniol ac wedi sicrhau y bydd ein system yn trosglwyddo a derbyn data systemau tebyg sy’n cael eu defnyddio nawr yn Lloegr a’r Alban.

 Mae’n hollbwysig bod EIDCymru yn cynnig platfform sy’n hygyrch ac yn hawdd i ffermwyr ei defnyddio, a hefyd yn bodloni rheoliadau Ewropeaidd. Rwyf felly’n ddiolchgar i’r ffermwyr sydd wedi cyfrannu at ddatblygiad y system ac i’r Grŵp Cynghori ar Adnabod Da Byw, sydd wedi gweithio’n agos â’m swyddogion. Bydd eu cysylltiad positif a’u hawgrymiadau arloesol yn parhau i gael eu defnyddio i wella’r system wrth inni gyflwyno swyddogaethau pellach fel y cofrestr diadellau electronig, mynediad i asiantaethau a chysylltiadau â systemau meddalwedd rheoli ffermydd sy’n bodoli eisoes, er mwyn trosglwyddo data yn uniongyrchol ar EIDCymru.

 Mae ceidwaid defaid yn defnyddio’r system electronig i gofnodi symudiadau eu hanifeiliaid, ond bydd rhai yn parhau i ddefnyddio trwydded symud bapur.  Mae cymorth ymarferol yn cael ei ddarparu gan EIDCymru gyda’r rhaglen Cyswllt Ffermio sy’n cynnwys canllawiau clir, cyfarfodydd lleol gyda’r nos a diwrnodau arddangos ble y bydd modd i ffermwyr gael mynediad i’r system newydd a derbyn hyfforddiant ymarferol. Bydd fy swyddogion hefyd yn parhau i gydweithio’n agos â rhanddeiliaid i sicrhau eu bod yn helpu ffermwyr i wneud y gorau o’r cyfleoedd sy’n codi o’r newid hwn i ragor o wasanaethau ar\-lein.

 Mae EIDCymru yn fyw bellach, a gyda chymorth y diwydiant amaethyddol yng Nghymru, cymorth gan wasanaeth EIDCymru a Chyswllt Ffermio, rwy’n awyddus i weld nifer y ffermwyr sy’n defnyddio’r system electronig yn cynyddu’n gyflym.

 Mae manteision ehangach system electronig o ran rhedeg ffermydd yn effeithiol, gwell cysylltiadau o fewn y diwydiant a chymorth ehangach i Gig Oen Cymru yno i’w datblygu ac i fanteisio arnynt.  Dyma’n union sydd ei angen os ydym i wireddu ein gweledigaeth ar y cyd o ddiwydiant modern, proffesiynol, cynaliadwy a phroffidiol yma yng Nghymru.
