Yn sgil diwygiadau’r Undeb Ewropeaidd i’r Polisi Amaethyddol Cyffredin (PAC), bydd fframwaith rheoliadol Trawsgydymffurfio yn newid ar 1 Ionawr 2015\.  Manteisiodd Llywodraeth Cymru ar y cyfle hwn i edrych ar effeithiolrwydd y trefniadau Trawsgydymffurfio yng Nghymru i ddatblygu cynigion ar gyfer polisi fyddai’n bodloni ei hymrwymiadau Ewropeaidd ac yn ystyried yr un pryd anghenion ein diwydiant ac amodau amgylcheddol unigryw Cymru. Rhwng 23 Mai a 18 Gorffennaf 2014, cynhaliodd Llywodraeth Cymru ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar y cynigion a gododd o’r adolygiad hwnnw.

 Hoffwn ddiolch i bawb am roi o’u hamser i ystyried y cynigion ac ymateb iddynt. Daeth 44 o ymatebion i law, oddi wrth undebau ffermio, cyrff amgylcheddol, cwmnïau dŵr a ffermwyr unigol.  Roedd pob ymateb yn gyfraniad gwerthfawr at helpu Llywodraeth Cymru i lunio’i pholisi ar Drawsgydymffurfio.  Roedd yr ymateb i fwyafrif llethol y cynigion yn y ddogfen ymgynghori yn bositif. Mynegwyd cefnogaeth gref i ddiogelu priddoedd, gwella ansawdd dŵr a lles anifeiliaid ac amddiffyn Henebion sy’n rhan mor annatod o’n tirwedd hanesyddol.

 Fe welwyd, wrth gwrs, wahaniaethau barn mewn rhai meysydd. Fy nod i wrth benderfynu ar y gofynion Trawsgydymffurfio newydd fu ceisio cydbwysedd rhwng mesurau diogelu’r amgylchedd a buddiannau ffermio ymarferol tra’n bod yn wyliadwrus o’n oblygiadau i’r UE. Rwy’n credu bod ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i’r ymgynghoriad yn adlewyrchu hynny. Mae’r ymateb hwnnw’n cynnwys dadansoddiad o’r ymatebion a chyfeiriad gyffredinol ein polisi ar Drawsgydymffurfio. Cafodd y ddogfen honno, ynghyd â’r ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad, ei chyhoeddi heddiw a chewch ei gweld ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.

 Mae’r gofynion Trawsgydymffurfio newydd a fydd yn cael eu gweithredu yng Nghymru o fis Ionawr 2015 wedi cael eu datblygu yn unol ag egwyddorion agenda ‘Hwyluso’r Drefn’ fel ymateb i adborth rhanddeiliaid.

 Trawsgydymffurfio fydd sylfaen Cynllun y Taliad Sylfaenol a’r sylfaen hefyd ar gyfer cyflawni amcanion y Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig nesaf.  Mae’n hollbwysig felly bod gennym drefn sy’n effeithiol ac ymarferol ac sy’n cefnogi meysydd allweddol fel lles anifeiliaid, safonau bwyd a’r amgylchedd a diogelu dŵr a phridd yng Nghymru.  Amcan y trefniadau newydd fydd sicrhau bod ffermwyr yn parhau i gynhyrchu bwyd o’r ansawdd uchaf tra’n diogelu adnoddau gwerthfawr a thirwedd naturiol drawiadol Cymru.

Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform throughout the European Union has led to changes in the Cross Compliance regulatory framework from 1 January 2015\. The Welsh Government took this opportunity to review the effectiveness of the current Cross Compliance arrangements in Wales in order to develop policy proposals that comply with European obligations and, at the same time, take into consideration the needs of our industry and Wales’ unique environmental conditions. From 23 May to 18 July 2014, the Welsh Government conducted a public consultation exercise on the proposals that resulted from the review.


I would like to thank all those who took the time to consider the consultation proposals and to respond to them. 44 responses were received from farming unions, environmental bodies, water companies and individual farmers, and all of them provided a valuable contribution that will help shape Welsh Government policy on Cross Compliance going forward. The response was positive to the vast majority of proposals outlined in the consultation document. The responses revealed strong support for protecting soils, improving water quality and animal welfare and providing protection to Scheduled Ancient Monuments which form an integral part of our historic landscape.


There were, of course, differences of opinion in some areas. My objective has been to balance environmental protection measures and practical farming interests when finalising the new Cross Compliance requirements whilst being mindful of our EU obligations. I believe that this aim is reflected in the Welsh Government response to the consultation exercise which contains the analysis of the responses and overall policy direction on Cross Compliance. This document, together with the consultation responses, was published today and can be accessed at the Welsh Government’s web pages.


The new Cross Compliance requirements that will be implemented in Wales from January 2015 have been developed in line with the principles of the Working Smarter agenda in response to stakeholder feedback.


Cross Compliance will underpin both the Basic Payment Scheme and the delivery of objectives under the next Rural Development Programme and it is imperative that we have a regime that is effective, workable and supports key areas of delivery such as animal welfare, environmental and food standards and the protection of water and soil in Wales. The new arrangements will aim to ensure that farmers continue to generate high quality food whilst protecting Wales’ valued resources and spectacular natural landscape.
