Dechreuwyd gwneud taliadau arwynebedd Glastir ar 29 Ionawr 2018 ac rwyf yn falch o fedru rhoi gwybod i'r aelodau  bod y gwaith yn mynd yn dda iawn a'n bod wedi prosesu mwy na 77% o'r hawliadau a wnaed gan fusnesau fferm. Mae hwn yn gryn welliant o gymharu â maint y taliadau a wnaed ar y diwrnod cyntaf y llynedd.   
  
Hefyd, mae 88% o'r hawliadau am waith cyfalaf Glastir wedi cael eu prosesu hefyd. Mae Taliadau Gwledig Cymru yn parhau i annog ac atgoffa busnesau fferm i gyflwyno'u hawliadau am waith cyfalaf cyn gynted ag y bo modd. Mae cryn dipyn o hawliadau eto i ddod cyn y dyddiad cau ar 28 Chwefror, a hoffwn annog pob busnes fferm i sicrhau bod hawliadau'n cael eu cwblhau a'u cyflwyno cyn y dyddiadau cau. Ni fyddwn yn derbyn ceisiadau hwyr.  
  
Agorodd ffenestr daliadau Cynllun y Taliad Sylfaenol (BPS) ar 1 Rhagfyr a chafodd dros 91% o'r hawliadau eu talu ar y diwrnod cyntaf. Unwaith eto, mae Taliadau Gwledig Cymru wedi gwneud yn well na'r Asiantaeth Taliadau Gwledig (RPA) a'r gweinyddiaethau eraill, gan dalu canran uwch o hawliadau BPS ar ddiwrnod cyntaf y ffenestr daliadau.    
  
Yn ogystal â gwneud yn well ar daliadau arwynebedd Glastir, rydym yn dal i wneud yn dda wrth dalu BPS. Mae dros 97% o’r hawliadau wedi cael eu talu hyd yma. Mae dros £223 miliwn wedi cael eu talu i mewn i gyfrifon banc dros 15,000 o ffermwyr a busnesau yng Nghymru.  
  
Mae Taliadau Gwledig Cymru yn ceisio talu cynifer o hawliadau ag y bo modd yn ystod ffenestri taliadau'r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd. Wedi dweud hynny, yn unol â rheoliadau'r Comisiwn ar gyfer y cynllun, mae'n ofynnol i’r holl archwiliadau, gan gynnwys sicrhau bod y cofnodion ar gyfer eich tir yn gywir a diweddaru'n system fapio, gael eu cwblhau cyn i unrhyw daliadau gael eu rhyddhau.   
  
Yn yr un modd ag yn y blynyddoedd a fu, ni fydd pob busnes fferm wedi cael ei daliad Glastir a BPS ar ddiwrnod cyntaf y ffenestr daliadau. Mae fy swyddogion yn gweithio'n galed i brosesu canfyddiadau'r archwiliadau sydd eto i'w prosesu cyn gynted ag y bo modd ac rwyf yn disgwyl i'r holl hawliadau, ar wahân i'r rhai mwyaf cymhleth, gael eu talu o dan gynllun Glastir a chynllun BPS erbyn diwedd Ebrill 2018\.    
  
Bydd Ffurflen Cais Sengl (SAF) 2018 ar gael i'w llenwi ar RPW Ar\-lein o 5 Mawrth 2018 ymlaen a bydd yn rhaid ei chyflwyno erbyn 15 Mai 2018\.    
  
Os na fydd busnes fferm wedi cael canfyddiadau archwiliadau 2017 erbyn diwedd mis Chwefror, bydd Taliadau Gwledig Cymru yn ysgrifennu ato i esbonio sut y dylai fynd ati i lenwi Ffurflen y Cais Sengl (SAF) ar gyfer 2018\.  
  
Bydd Taliadau Gwledig Cymru yn cynnal gwiriadau cychwynnol eto eleni, i dynnu sylw at unrhyw gamgymeriadau posibl ac i roi cyfle i fusnesau fferm ddiwygio'u datganiad ac osgoi cosbau posibl.  
  
Hoffwn achub ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i bawb, gan gynnwys rhanddeiliaid yn y diwydiant, sydd wedi bod yn cydweithio â fy swyddogion ar y gwaith parhaus i ddatblygu RPW Ar\-lein, ac sydd wedi cyfrannu at y gwelliant wrth wneud taliadau Glastir a BPS ar gyfer 2017\.

Glastir area payments commenced on 29 January 2018 and I am pleased to update Members of the significant progress made to process more than 77% of claims to farm businesses.  This represents a significant improvement compared with last year’s day one payment performance.  

  

In addition, 88% of the Glastir capital works claims received have also been processed.  Rural Payments Wales (RPW) continue to encourage and remind farm businesses to submit their capital works claims as soon as possible. There are a significant amount of claims still expected by the deadline of 28 February and I urge all farm businesses to ensure claims are completed and submitted before the deadlines. Late claims cannot be accepted.  

  

The BPS payment window opened on 1 December and over 91% of claims were paid on the first day.  Rural Payments Wales has, once again, out performed the Rural Payments Agency and other administrations, paying a higher percentage of BPS claims on day one of the payment window.    

  

In parallel with the improved Glastir area payment performance, the BPS performance continues to progress with over 97% paid to date.  Over £223m has been paid into the bank accounts of over 15,000 Welsh farmers and businesses.  

  

RPW aims to pay as many claims as soon as possible during European Commission (EC) payment windows. However, EC regulations governing the scheme require inspections to be fully completed, which include the cross checking of land and updating of our mapping system, before any payment can be made.  

  

As with previous years, not all farm businesses will have received their Glastir and BPS payment on the first day of the payment window. My officials are working hard to process the remaining inspection findings as quickly as possible and I expect all but the most complex claims to be paid under both the Glastir and BPS schemes by the end of April 2018\.  

  

The Single Application Form (SAF) for 2018 will be available on RPW online from 5 March 2018 and must be submitted by 15 May 2018\.    

  

If a farm business does not receive its 2017 inspection findings by the end of February, RPW will write to them explaining how they should complete their SAF 2018\.  

  

RPW will be operating preliminary checks again this year, to highlight any potential errors and give farm business the opportunity to amend their declaration and avoid potential penalties.  

  

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, including industry stakeholders, who have worked in conjunction with my officials to continually develop RPW online, and contributed towards the improved 2017 Glastir and BPS payment performance.
