Nodaf y cyhoeddiad a wnaed gan Lywodraeth y DU ar 16 Rhagfyr eu bod wedi dod â negodiadau i ben ar gyfer cytundeb masnach rydd (FTA) y DU\-Awstralia.


Gallai’r FTA ag Awstralia ddod â manteision posibl i Gymru. Cyfanswm gwerth y fasnach nwyddau rhwng Awstralia a Chymru yn y flwyddyn a ddaeth i ben ym mis Mehefin 2021 oedd £186\.6miliwn. Awstralia oedd ein 20fed marchnad fwyaf o ran allforio nwyddau a’n 42ain marchnad fwyaf o ran mewnforio nwyddau. Mae’r data diweddaraf ar fasnach gwasanaethau  ar gyfer 2019 yn amcangyfrif mai gwerth y gwasanaethau a allforiwyd i Awstralia oedd tua £181miliwn, tra mai gwerth y gwasanaethau a fewnforiwyd o Awstralia oedd tua £53miliwn.


Er bod manteision efallai yn y cytundeb i Gymru, yn enwedig ym maes gwasanaethau a symudedd, roeddwn i’n glir iawn yn ystod y negodiadau bod yn rhaid i unrhyw gytundeb masnach beidio â rhoi Cymru dan anfantais nac amharu ar y safonau uchel sydd mor bwysig i ni yma yng Nghymru. Mae hyn yn arbennig o bwysig ar gyfer ein sector amaethyddiaeth sy’n cydymffurfio â’r rheoliadau ym maes amgylchedd a llesiant anifeiliaid ac mae gennym bryderon sylweddol o hyd ynghylch y cynnydd o ran mynediad i’r farchnad sy’n rhan o’r cytundeb hwn, yr effaith y gall hyn ei chael ar ein cynhyrchwyr a’r cynsail y gall ei osod ar gyfer cytundebau yn y dyfodol. Rydw i’n siomedig nad yw’n ymddangos fod fy sylwadau ar yr elfen hon o’r cytundeb wedi’u hystyried. Gwnes i a’m swyddogion bwysleisio’r pwynt hwn yn ddigon clir i Lywodraeth y DU yn ystod y trafodaethau.


Nawr bod holl fanylion y cytundeb terfynol ar gael, bydd fy swyddogion yn craffu ar fanylion y cytundeb a byddwn yn cyhoeddi asesiad sy’n canolbwyntio ar Gymru unwaith y caiff y gwaith dadansoddi hwn ei gyflawni. Byddwn hefyd yn ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid yng Nghymru i ddeall eu safbwyntiau ar effaith y cytundeb.

I note the announcement made by the UK Government on 16 December that they have concluded negotiations for a UK\-Australia free trade agreement (FTA).


The FTA with Australia could bring potential benefits to Wales. The value of goods trade between Australia and Wales in the year ending June 2021 amounted to £186\.6m, with Australia being our 20th largest goods export market and 42nd largest goods import market.  Latest services trade data for 2019 estimate our services exports to Australia were valued at around £181m, whilst imports of services from Australia were valued at around £53m. 


Whilst there may be benefits in the deal for Wales, particularly in the area of services and mobility, I was clear during the negotiations that any trade deal must not disadvantage Welsh producers or compromise the high quality standards that are so important to us in Wales. This is particularly important for our agriculture sector who adhere to high environmental and animal welfare regulations and we continue to have significant concerns around the increased market access included in this agreement, the impact this may have on our producers and the precedent it may set for future deals.  I am disappointed that my views on this element of the deal appear to have not been taken on board. My officials and I made this point very clear to UK Government during negotiations.


Now that the full details of the finalised agreement are available, my officials will be scrutinising the details of the deal and we will publish a Wales focused assessment once this analysis work is complete.  We will also engage with stakeholders in Wales to understand their thoughts on the impact of the deal.
