Yn dilyn fy Natganiad Ysgrifenedig ar 13 Ionawr ynghylch Cynllun y Taliad Sylfaenol (BPS), rydym bellach wedi prosesu dros 90% o’r rhandaliadau BPS ar gyfer ein busnesau fferm.  Rwy’n rhagweld y bydd pawb, heblaw’r achosion mwyaf cymhleth, wedi’u talu erbyn diwedd y mis hwn.  Caiff y rhandaliad olaf (oddeutu 20%) ei dalu ym mis Ebrill yn unol â’n targed.

Os na fydd busnes fferm cymwys wedi cael ei randaliad BPS erbyn diwedd y mis, byddwn yn anfon llythyr ato ddechrau mis Ebrill i esbonio pam nad ydyw wedi cael ei dalu gan gynnwys manylion unrhyw broblemau sydd angen eu datrys.  Gallai’r rhesymau am hyn gynnwys achosion â thir dros y ffin gyda thir comin neu archwiliadau yn Lloegr neu Grant Profiant hwyr.  Pan fyddwn wedi’u prosesu, bydd achosion ôl\-Mawrth yn cael eu talu fel un taliad llawn. 

Mae’n dda gen i gyhoeddi bod Ffurflen Cais Sengl (SAF) 2016 a ffurflen trosglwyddo a lesio hawliau ar gael bellach ar RPW Ar\-lein.  Rydym wedi gwella mwy hyd yn oed ar y gwasanaeth ar\-lein fel ei bod hi’n haws ac yn gynt i fusnesau fferm allu hawlio taliad.  Mae system ddilysu fewnol ynddo sy’n rhoi rhybudd i ffermwyr sy’n gwneud gwallau wrth lenwi’r SAF ynghyd â’r gallu i gael at fapiau caeau gyda theclyn i newid y mapiau hyn sy’n gysylltiedig â’r data caeau ar y cais.  Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer cyflwyno’r SAF yw 16 Mai 2016\.  Eleni, dim ond ar\-lein y mae’r SAF ar gael.  Os oes gan fusnes fferm gwestiwn neu os oes angen help arno, dylai ffonio’r Ganolfan Gyswllt i Gwsmeriaid \- 0300 062 5004\.  Os nad yw’r ffermwr yn gallu cysylltu â’r gwasanaeth ar\-lein, gallan nhw drefnu i gael cymorth i lenwi’r SAF gan un o Swyddfeydd Rhanbarthol Llywodraeth Cymru.  Ffoniwch y Ganolfan Gyswllt i Gwsmeriaid erbyn 15 Mawrth er mwyn cael bod yn siŵr o gyfarfod. 

Mae’n dda gen i gyhoeddi hefyd fy mod wedi gofyn i’r RPW gynnig darpariaeth opsiynol newydd a gyflwynwyd gan y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd ar gyfer eleni, sef cynnal archwiliadau cychwynnol i helpu busnesau fferm i osgoi cosbau am orddatgan trwy chwilio am anghysonderau rhwng yr hawliad a’r wybodaeth ar ein mapiau.  Bydd yr RPW yn ysgrifennu at ffermwyr sydd ag anghysonderau erbyn 13 Mehefin 2016 a bydd gan fusnesau fferm tan 21 Mehefin 2016 i ymateb os ydyn nhw am newid eu hawliad. 

Rydym wrthi’n delio ag apeliadau yn erbyn penderfyniadau i leihau arwynebeddau yn SAF 2015, er, ar hyn o bryd, mae RPW yn rhoi blaenoriaeth i brosesu rhandaliadau.  Ein nod yw delio â mwyafrif yr apeliadau a ddaeth i law cyn diwedd mis Chwefror erbyn diwedd y mis hwn (31 Mawrth) a’r gweddill erbyn diwedd cyfnod hawlio SAF 2016\. 

Unwaith eto, hoffwn ddiolch i bawb, gan gynnwys Undeb Ffermwyr Cymru, Undeb Cenedlaethol Amaethwyr Cymru, Cymdeithas Tir a Busnesau Cefn Gwlad, asiantwyr ac eraill sydd wedi gweithio â ni i ddatblygu’r BPS a’r gwasanaethau ar\-lein ac i’w rhoi ar waith.

Following my Written Statement of 13 January concerning the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), we have now processed more than 90% of BPS part payments to our farm businesses.  I expect all but the most complex claims to be paid by the end of this month.  The final instalments (of approximately 20%) will be made in April in line with our published target.


If an eligible farm business has not received their BPS part payment by the end of this month, they will receive a personalised letter in early April explaining why they have not been paid, and detailing any outstanding issues.  Reasons could include: cross border cases with commons or inspections in England, and outstanding Grant of Probate.  Once processing is complete these post\-March cases will receive a single full payment.


I am pleased to announce the 2016 Single Application Form (SAF), and transfer and lease of entitlements facility, are now available on RPW Online. The online service has again been improved to make it easier and quicker for farm businesses to make their claims.  It has the benefit of built \-in validation checks during the completion of the SAF with warnings and failure messages given as appropriate as entries are made, as well as access to farm maps, and the ability to make changes to the map which links to the field data in the application.  The deadline to submit a SAF is 16 May 2016\.  This year the SAF is available online only.  If farm businesses have any queries or need help they should contact the Customer Contact Centre (Tel: 0300 062 5004\).  Farmers who are unable to access online services independently can arrange a digital assistance meeting at Welsh Government regional office to complete their SAF.  These meetings can be arranged by calling the Customer Contact Centre. This should be done by 15 March to guarantee an appointment.


I am pleased to announce that I have asked RPW to implement a new optional provision, introduced by the European Commission for this year, whereby they will carry out preliminary checks to help farm businesses avoid over declaration penalties, where differences have been found between their claim and our mapping.  RPW will write to farmers with mismatches by 13 June 2016 and farm businesses will have until 21 June 2016 to respond if they wish to alter their claim.  


Where we have received appeals against area deductions of SAF 2015 these are progressing, although RPW are prioritising the processing of part\-payments in the first instance.  We aim to complete the majority of appeals we have received by the end of February by the end of this month (31st March) and the rest within the SAF 2016 submission period.  


I would like to take this opportunity to once more thank everyone, including the Farmers Union of Wales, National Farmers Union Cymru, Country Land and Business Association Cymru, agents and others, who have worked with us to develop and implement BPS and the online service.
