First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones and First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon today agreed to work together on amendments to the UK government’s EU Withdrawal Bill.


These changes will be designed to protect devolved powers and responsibilities and provide effective powers to ensure devolved law works on withdrawal from the EU.


The First Ministers also committed to coordinate advice to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly to ensure that both are fully informed of the risks posed by the UK government bill and the proposed changes.


Both governments have previously made clear that they could not recommend legislative consent is given to the UK government’s proposals as they impose unacceptable constraints on current devolved powers, and are impractical and unworkable in practice.


Following their meeting, the First Ministers said:



> “We are approaching the 20th anniversaries of the referendums that established the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. Those votes, and the development of devolution since 1998, provide the secure democratic basis for self\-government in Scotland and Wales.
> 
> 
> “Since the vote to leave the EU, the approach of the UK government to withdrawal has been a rejection of the principle of devolution, and the sharing of decision\-making across these islands, clearly chosen by the people of Scotland and Wales.
> 
> 
> “Most recently the UK government has published position papers which involve the vital interests of Scotland and Wales but which have been prepared without the involvement of the devolved administrations.
> 
> 
> “Most seriously, the UK government’s EU (Withdrawal) Bill is an unashamed move to centralise decision\-making power in Westminster, cutting directly across current devolved powers and responsibilities.
> 
> 
> “The Scottish and Welsh Governments have already made clear that they cannot recommend that the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly give their necessary legislative consent to the bill. We believe that the bill must not be allowed to progress in its current form.
> 
> 
> “To provide a constructive way forward, the Scottish and Welsh Governments are now working to agree potential amendments to the bill which would address our concerns. We are also coordinating our advice to the Parliament and Assembly to ensure they fully understand our concerns and our alternative proposals.
> 
> 
> “It will now be for the UK government to respond positively to our suggested amendments to move negotiations forward, and ensure there is a functioning legal system on withdrawal from the EU, and agreed UK structures, \- where these are required – that reflect the views and interests of all parts of the UK, and respect devolved powers and responsibilities.”

Heddiw, cytunodd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Carwyn Jones, a Phrif Weinidog yr Alban, Nicola Sturgeon, i gydweithio ar welliannau i Fil Ymadael â'r UE Llywodraeth y DU.

Bwriad y newidiadau hyn fydd amddiffyn pwerau a chyfrifoldebau sydd wedi'u datganoli a darparu pwerau effeithiol er mwyn sicrhau bod cyfraith ddatganoledig yn gweithio wrth ymadael â'r UE.

Ymrwymodd  y ddau Brif Weinidog hefyd i gydlynu cyngor i'r Senedd a'r Cynulliad er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn cael yr holl wybodaeth am y risgiau sy’n codi yn sgil Bil Llywodraeth y DU a'r newidiadau arfaethedig.

Mae'r ddwy lywodraeth wedi nodi'n glir o’r blaen na allant argymell y dylid rhoi cydsyniad deddfwriaethol  i gynigion Llywodraeth y DU gan eu bod yn gosod cyfyngiadau annerbyniol ar y pwerau datganoledig presennol, a chan eu bod hefyd yn anymarferol ac  yn amhosibl eu gweithredu.

Yn dilyn eu cyfarfod, dywedodd y ddau Brif Weinidog:


> "Rydyn ni'n agosáu at ugain mlynedd ers y ddau refferendwm a fu'n sail i sefydlu Senedd yr Alban a Chynulliad Cymru. Mae'r pleidleisiau hynny, a'r gwaith o ddatblygu datganoli ers 1998, yn darparu sylfaen ddemocrataidd ddiogel i hunanlywodraeth yng Nghymru a'r Alban.
> 
> “Ers y bleidlais i ymadael â'r UE, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi mynd i'r afael â'r broses ymadael drwy wrthod egwyddor datganoli a’r egwyddor o rannu’r broses benderfynu ar draws y gwledydd hyn – sef dewis clir pobl Cymru a'r Alban.
> 
> "Yn fwyaf diweddar, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi cyhoeddi papurau safbwynt sy'n ymwneud â buddiannau hanfodol Cymru a'r Alban ond sydd wedi'u paratoi heb i’r gweinyddiaethau datganoledig gael cyfle i gyfrannu atynt.
> 
> "Yn fwyaf difrifol, mae Bil yr Undeb Ewropeaidd (Ymadael) Llywodraeth y DU yn ymgais haerllug i ganoli'r pwerau penderfynu yn San Steffan, gan fynd yn hollol groes i’r pwerau a'r cyfrifoldebau datganoledig presennol.
> 
> "Mae Llywodraethau Cymru a'r Alban eisoes wedi dweud yn glir na allan nhw argymell i Senedd yr Alban a'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol roi'r cydsyniad deddfwriaethol angenrheidiol i'r Bil. Rydym o’r farn na ddylid caniatáu i’r Bil fynd rhagddo yn ei ffurf bresennol.
> 
> "Er mwyn darparu ffordd adeiladol ymlaen, mae Llywodraethau Cymru a'r Alban bellach yn gweithio i gytuno ar welliannau posibl i'r Bil a fyddai'n mynd i'r afael â'n pryderon. Rydyn ni hefyd yn cydlynu ein cyngor i'r Senedd a'r Cynulliad er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn deall ein pryderon yn llawn, ynghyd â'n cynigion eraill.
> 
> “Er mwyn symud y trafodaethau ymlaen, bydd angen i Lywodraeth y DU yn awr ymateb yn gadarnhaol i'n gwelliannau arfaethedig, a sicrhau bod system gyfreithiol weithredol yn barod ar gyfer ein hymadawiad â'r UE.  Bydd angen sicrhau hefyd fod cytundeb ar strwythurau ar gyfer y DU – lle bo’u hangen – a’r rheini’n adlewyrchu safbwyntiau a buddiannau pob rhan o’r DU ac yn parchu pwerau a chyfrifoldebau sydd wedi’u datganoli.”
