In accordance with the inter\-institutional relations agreement, I wish to notify you that a further meeting of the Inter\-Ministerial Group for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs was held on 16 May.


The meeting was attended by Edwin Poots MLA, Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Northern Ireland Executive (Chair), George Eustice MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UK Government; Victoria Prentis MP, Minister of State, Defra, UK Government; Mairi McAllan, Minister for Environment and Land Reform, Scottish Government; Lorna Slater MSP, Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy, and Biodiversity, Scottish Government.


At the meeting we revisited the Ukraine crisis and the impacts for the production costs of fertiliser, feed, and fuel.  We also discussed pet quarantine where I pressed the UK Government for assurances quarantine facility spaces would be available to all nations of the UK regardless of policy differences.


The UK Government (UKG) provided a paper outlining their latest position regarding preparations for border controls and confirmed no further import controls would be introduced in 2022\.  I outlined my concerns that once again checks were being delayed without prior consultation with the Devolved Governments, which has become a recurring pattern of behaviour on UKG’s part. I also noted the concerns of my Chief Veterinary Officer regarding the biosecurity implications of the delay, as well as the disappointment stakeholders have regarding the lack of a level playing field between importers and exporters, which places domestic producers at a competitive disadvantage.  


The UK Government outlined their future legislative programme and proposals emerging from the Queen’s speech which included a Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill; an Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill; a Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill and a Procurement Bill.


The Scottish Government concluded by presenting their framework for the future of agriculture policy in Scotland which focuses on land reform, nature restoration and sustainable farming initiatives. Scotland is pursuing a similar path to Wales with a system of base support and additional conditional payments based on the climate and biodiversity outcomes.


We agreed our next meeting would be held in person at the Royal Welsh Show on Wednesday 20 July, when I plan to outline future Welsh agricultural proposals.  


A communique regarding this meeting will be published on the UK Government website at

Yn unol â’r Cytundeb Cysylltiadau Rhyng\-sefydliadol, rwy’n eich hysbysu y cafodd cyfarfod arall y Grŵp Rhyngweinidogol – yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig ei gynnal ar 16 Mai.


Yn bresennol yn y cyfarfod roedd Edwin Poots ACD, Gweinidog Amaethyddiaeth, yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig, Gweithrediaeth Gogledd Iwerddon (Cadeirydd); George Eustice AS, yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig, Llywodraeth y DU; Victoria Prentis AS, Gweinidog Gwladol, DEFRA, Llywodraeth y DU; Mairi McAllan, Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd a Diwygio Tir, Llywodraeth yr Alban; Lorna Slater ASA, Gweinidog Sgiliau Gwyrdd, yr Economi Gylchol, a Bioamrywiaeth, Llywodraeth yr Alban.


Yn ystod y cyfarfod, gwnaethom ailystyried yr argyfwng yn Wcráin a’r effaith ar gostau cynhyrchu gwrteithiau, bwydydd anifeiliaid a thanwydd. Gwnaethom hefyd drafod trefniadau rhoi anifeiliaid anwes mewn cwarantin, a phwysais ar Lywodraeth Cymru i roi sicrwydd y byddai lleoedd ar gael mewn cyfleusterau cwarantin ar gyfer pob gwlad yn y DU ni waeth beth yw’r gwahaniaethau rhwng eu polisïau.


Darparodd Llywodraeth y DU bapur yn nodi ei safbwynt diweddaraf ynglŷn â pharatoadau ar gyfer rheoli ffiniau, a chadarnhaodd na châi rhagor o fesurau rheoli mewnforion eu cyflwyno yn ystod 2022\. Nodais fy mhryderon, unwaith eto, fod gwiriadau’n cael eu hoedi, a hynny heb ymgynghori â’r llywodraethau datganoledig ymlaen llaw – mae hwn yn ymddygiad sydd wedi datblygu’n batrwm braidd o ran Llywodraeth y DU. At hynny, nodais bryderon fy Mhrif Swyddog Milfeddygol ynghylch goblygiadau’r oedi i fioddiogelwch, yn ogystal â siom rhanddeiliaid oherwydd y diffyg tegwch rhwng mewnforwyr ac allforwyr, sy’n rhoi cynhyrchwyr domestig dan anfantais o ran cystadlu.  


Nododd Llywodraeth y DU ei rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol ar gyfer y dyfodol ynghyd â’i chynigion yn deillio o araith y Frenhines, a oedd yn cynnwys Bil Technoleg Enetig (Bridio Manwl); Bil Lles Anifeiliaid (Anifeiliaid a Gedwir); Bil Masnach (Awstralia a Seland Newydd) a Bil Caffael.


Daeth Llywodraeth yr Alban â’r cyfarfod i ben drwy gyflwyno’i fframwaith ar gyfer dyfodol polisïau ym maes amaethyddiaeth yn yr Alban, sy’n canolbwyntio ar fentrau diwygio tir, adfer natur a ffermio cynaliadwy. Mae’r Alban yn dilyn trywydd tebyg i Gymru, gyda system o gymorth sylfaenol a thaliadau amodol ychwanegol sy’n seiliedig ar ganlyniadau ar gyfer yr hinsawdd a bioamrywiaeth.


Gwnaethom gytuno y câi’r cyfarfod nesaf ei gynnal wyneb yn wyneb ddydd Mercher, 20 Gorffennaf, yn ystod Sioe Frenhinol Cymru, pan fwriadaf nodi cynigion amaethyddol Cymru i’r dyfodol.  


Caiff hysbysiad ynglŷn â’r cyfarfod hwn ei gyhoeddi ar wefan Llywodraeth y DU yn:
