Hoffwn ddiweddaru Aelodau’r Cynulliad am hynt taliadau PAC Cynllun y Taliad Sylfaenol (BPS).

Ar 31 Mawrth, roedd 95% o’r busnesau fferm cymwys yng Nghymru wedi derbyn rhandaliad. O’r busnesau fferm nad oedden nhw wedi cael eu rhandaliad, roedd eu mwyafrif llethol heb eu talu oherwydd trafferthion gweithredol mawr gyda’r Asiantaeth Taliadau Gwledig (RPA) yn Lloegr a’n bod o’r herwydd yn dal i ddisgwyl data am ffermydd sy’n rhychwantu’r ffin.  Mae fy swyddogion yn pwyso ar yr RPA am y manylion er mwyn i Lywodraeth Cymru allu talu’r busnesau fferm dan sylw. Byddwn yn ysgrifennu  wythnos yma at unrhyw fusnesau fferm nad oeddynt wedi derbyn eu rhandaliad erbyn diwedd mis Mawrth, gan nodi’r rhesymau am hyn. 

Rydym wedi bodloni terfyn amser y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd gan bennu gwerth hawliau BPS erbyn 1 Ebrill 2016\.  Rydym nawr yn gallu talu’r rhandaliadau olaf i’r busnesau fferm hynny sydd wedi derbyn eu rhandaliad BPS cyntaf a thalu’r taliad llawn i’r nifer fach nad ydyn nhw eto wedi cael unrhyw daliad.   
 

Mae’n dda gennyf allu dweud, erbyn diwedd wythnos hon (8 Ebrill), byddwn wedi talu eu rhandaliad BPS olaf i dros dri chwarter y busnesau fferm cymwys.  Bydd yr hawliadau sydd heb eu talu yn cael eu prosesu yn ystod mis Ebrill a bydd pob un, heblaw’r nifer fach iawn sydd â cheisiadau cymhleth, wedi’u talu’n llawn erbyn diwedd y mis. 

Ein perfformiad ni sydd orau yn holl wledydd Prydain. 

O ran llenwi Ffurflen Cais Sengl (SAF) 2016 y PAC, mae dros 3,500 o fusnesau fferm eisoes yn defnyddio RPW Ar\-lein.  Trwy wneud, maen nhw’n cael elwa ar archwiliadau mewnol y system (negeseuon gwybodaeth a negeseuon sy’n dangos gwallau sylfaenol) wrth lenwi’r SAF, yn cael gweld mapiau’r fferm, ac yn cael newid y map i fod yn gyson â’r adran data caeau yn y cais.  Mae 389 o ffermwyr wedi manteisio ar y sesiynau Cymorth Digidol sy’n cael eu cynnal gan swyddogion Taliadau Gwledig Cymru yn ein Swyddfeydd Rhanbarthol.  Mae’r ymateb cyntaf gan y rheini sydd wedi defnyddio SAF Ar\-lein a’r sesiynau cymorth wedi bod yn gadarnhaol iawn.  Gall ffermwyr drefnu sesiwn trwy ffonio’r Ganolfan Gyswllt i Gwsmeriaid ar 0300 062 5004\. Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer cyflwyno SAF 2016 yw 16 Mai.

I would like to update Assembly Members of the progress we have made with CAP Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments.


As of 31st March we had made substantial part\-payments to 95% of eligible farm businesses in Wales.  Of those farm businesses that have yet to receive a part\-payment, the vast majority are due to the Rural Payment Agency (RPA) in England experiencing considerable operational difficulties, which has meant we are still waiting for useable cross\-border data.  My officials continue to press RPA for the detailed information that will allow the Welsh Government to pay the relevant farm businesses affected. We will be writing this week to any farm businesses that had not received a part\-payment by the end of March, setting out the reasons for this.


We have met the European Commission’s 1st April 2016 deadline to establish total BPS entitlement values. We can now pay final instalments to those farm businesses that received a BPS part\-payment, and full payments to the small number yet to receive any payment.


I am pleased to report that by the end of this week (8th April), we will have paid over three\-quarters of eligible farm businesses their final, balance BPS payment.  We will continue to process the remaining claims throughout April, and all but a very small number of complex BPS cases will have been paid, in full, by the end of this month.


Our BPS performance remains GB leading.


In relation to CAP Single Application Form (SAF) 2016 applications, over 3,500 farm businesses are already making full use of RPW Online. In doing so, they benefit from built\-in validation checks during completion of the SAF (with error and information messages given where appropriate as entries are made), access to farm maps, and the ability to make changes to the map which links to the field data in the application.  389 farmers have taken advantage of Digital Assistance appointments with Rural Payments Wales officials in our Regional Offices.  Initial feedback from those who have made use of SAF Online or our Digital Assistance support has been very positive.  Farmers can make Digital Assistance appointments by telephoning the Customer Contact Centre on 0300 062 5004\. The deadline for SAF 2016 is 16th May.
