As part of the UK Ministerial negotiating team, the Welsh Government helped secure the deal at the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council in Brussels which concluded in the early hours of this morning. 

The Welsh Government secured deals to: 

* avoid needless discards of sea bass and protect the interests of commercial and recreational fishers whilst keeping the stock on track to recovery
* increase or maintain quotas for skates/rays, plaice, haddock and megrim in the Celtic Sea  and for cod, haddock, plaice and sole in the Irish Sea while still meeting sustainability targets
* facilitate interim solutions to the challenges posed by zero\-catch advice for a number of species under the implementation of the Discard Ban in accordance with the Common Fisheries Policy.

The Minister said: 


> “I would like to thank the members of the Welsh Marine Fisheries Advisory Group who have helped identify the key issues around sea bass and other important stocks in Wales.  As a result, we were able to present a strong Welsh case to the Presidency and Commission, along with colleagues from the UK Government and other Devolved Administrations. 
> 
> “In line with our commitments to ensure our natural resources are sustainably managed, my priority was to safeguard fish stocks whilst securing a positive outcome for those coastal communities whose economies depend so much on the sea.  This year’s negotiations were more important than ever with the uncertainty Brexit presents.
> 
> “There is a need to fish at sustainable levels based on the best available scientific advice.  Finding the right balance in the negotiations was a challenge but we were successful in securing a deal which matches Wales’ priorities.
> 
> “I believe a strong and fair balance was struck between protecting the economic interests of small\-scale fishers and recreational anglers with the need to move stocks toward the position where they can be fished sustainably into the future.”

Fel rhan o dîm trafod Gweinidogion y DU, bu Llywodraeth Cymru yn helpu i sicrhau'r fargen yng Nghyngor Amaethyddiaeth a Physgodfeydd yr UE ym Mrwsel, ddaeth i ben yn ystod oriau mân bore heddiw. 

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi sicrhau bargen i: 

* Osgoi achosion di\-angen o gael gwared ar ddraenogiaid y môr a diogelu buddiannau pysgodfeydd masnachol a hamdden tra'n parhau i adfer y stoc.
* Cynyddu neu gynnal cwotâu ar gyfer morgathod, lledod coch, hadogiaid a lledod mair yn y Môr Celtaidd ac ar gyfer penfreision, hadogiaid, lledod coch a lledod chwithig ym Môr Iwerddon tra'n parhau i fodloni targedau cynaliadwyedd
* Hwyluso atebion dros dro i’r heriau sydd ynghlwm wrth gyngor i gael dalfa niwtral i nifer o rywogaethau yn sgil gweithredu’r Gwaharddiad ar Waredu, a hynny’n unol â’r Polisi Pysgodfeydd Cyffredin.

Meddai'r Gweinidog:  


> "Hoffwn ddiolch i aelodau'r Grŵp Cynghori ar Bysgodfeydd sydd wedi helpu i nodi'r prif broblemau sy'n gysylltiedig â draenogod y môr a stociau pwysig eraill yng Nghymru.  O ganlyniad, roedd modd inni gyflwyno achos cryf ar gyfer Cymru i'r Llywyddiaeth a'r Comisiwn, yn ogystal â chydweithwyr o Lywodraeth y DU a Gweinyddiaethau Datganoledig eraill. 
> 
> "Yn unol a'n rhwymedigaethau i sicrhau bod ein hadnoddau naturiol yn cael eu rheoli'n gynaliadwy, fy mlaenoriaeth oedd diogelu stociau pysgod tra'n sicrhau canlyniad positif i'r cymunedau arfordirol hynny y mae eu heconomïau'n dibynnu cymaint ar y môr.  Roedd trafodaethau eleni yn bwysicach nag erioed gydag ansicrwydd Brexit.
> 
> "Mae angen pysgota ar lefel gynaliadwy yn seiliedig ar y cyngor gwyddonol gorau sydd ar gael.  Roedd yn her i gael y cydbwysedd iawn yn y trafodaethau, ond llwyddwyd i sicrhau bargen sy'n cyd\-fynd â blaenoriaethau Cymru.
> 
> "Dwi'n credu bod cydbwysedd cadarn a theg wedi'i sicrhau rhwng diogelu buddiannau economaidd pysgodfeydd bychain a physgotwyr hamdden â'r angen i symud stociau tuag at sefyllfa ble y gellir eu pysgota yn gynaliadwy yn y dyfodol."
