I represented the Welsh Government at a meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee (EU Negotiations) on Friday 28 June in Manchester. The meeting focused on Negotiations, the Intergovernmental Relations Review and Common Frameworks. The communique issued following the meeting and can be found at: 


Joint Ministerial Committee (EU negotiations) communique 28 June 2019


During the discussion on negotiations, I reiterated the Welsh Government’s position in terms of our call for a further referendum (during which we would campaign for remain) to avoid a disastrous no\-deal scenario. I noted that although preparations were being made for that no\-deal scenario despite that not being UK government policy, no preparations were being made for a referendum, which is also not UK government policy. I urged the UK government to make those preparations. 


I also called for a process to manage intergovernmental negotiations around international treaties such as those securing reciprocal voting rights in local government elections which had recently been concluded with Spain, Portugal and Luxembourg. 


And I emphasised that for all international negotiations affecting devolved matters, the UK government needed to commit to not normally proceeding with a UK negotiating position without the agreement of the other governments of the UK.


Following discussion of progress on the Intergovernmental Relations Review, the UK government yesterday published the draft principles for relations alongside the commitment I had pressed for to design a system for dispute resolution which works for all parts of the UK and includes an independent element. The documents are available at: 


Draft principles for intergovernmental relations


Update on common frameworks and intergovernmental relations:Written statement \- HCWS1687


I welcome publication of the principles. They are the product of the workstream led by Welsh Government officials. However, I am disappointed with the overall progress of the Intergovernmental Relations Review to date. I have written, jointly with the Cabinet Secretary for Government Business and Constitutional Relations at the Scottish Government, to the UK government to set out the next steps we expect to be taken on the Review.


We also discussed at the meeting the good progress that had been made on Common Frameworks. Further information has been published about this and can be found here:


An update on progress in Common Frameworks


I highlighted the need for a clear publication and engagement plan as this work continues, and I will keep Members fully informed.

Ddydd Gwener 28 Mehefin, cynrychiolais Lywodraeth Cymru yng nghyfarfod Cydbwyllgor y Gweinidogion ar Negodiadau'r UE ym Manceinion. Roedd y cyfarfod yn canolbwyntio ar Negodiadau, yr Adolygiad Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol a Fframweithiau Cyffredin. Gallwch weld yr ohebiaeth a gyhoeddwyd yn dilyn y cyfarfod yma:

Yn ystod y trafodaethau am y negodiadau, dywedais unwaith eto beth yw safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru o ran galw am refferendwm arall (byddem yn ymgyrchu i aros) er mwyn osgoi'r sefyllfa echrydus o ymadael heb gytundeb. Nodais, er bod paratoadau yn cael eu gwneud ar gyfer ymadael heb gytundeb, er gwaetha'r ffaith nad hynny yw polisi Llywodraeth y DU, nid oedd unrhyw baratoadau'n cael eu gwneud ar gyfer cynnal refferendwm, nad yw ychwaith yn bolisi Llywodraeth y DU. Galwais ar Lywodraeth y DU i wneud y paratoadau hynny. 


Galwais hefyd am broses i reoli negodiadau rhynglywodraethol ynghylch cytuniadau rhyngwladol megis y rheini i ddiogelu hawliau pleidleisio cilyddol mewn etholiadau llywodraeth leol a wnaed yn ddiweddar gyda Sbaen, Portiwgal a Lwcsembwrg. 


Mewn perthynas â'r holl negodiadau rhyngwladol sy'n effeithio ar faterion datganoledig, pwysleisiais bod angen i Lywodraeth y DU ymrwymo i beidio â bwrw ymlaen fel arfer â safbwynt negodi'r DU, heb gytundeb llywodraethau eraill y DU. 


Yn dilyn trafodaeth ar gynnydd yr Adolygiad Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol, ddoe fe gyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU yr egwyddorion drafft ar gyfer cysylltiadau ochr yn ochr â'r ymrwymiad y pwysais arnynt amdano i lunio system ar gyfer datrys anghydfodau sy'n gweithio i bob rhan o'r DU ac sy'n cynnwys elfen annibynnol. Mae'r dogfennau ar gael yn:

https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written\-questions\-answers\-statements/written\-statement/Commons/2019\-07\-03/HCWS1687/


Rwy'n croesawu'r ffaith bod yr egwyddorion wedi'u cyhoeddi. Dyma gynnyrch y ffrwd waith a arweiniwyd gan swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n siomedig gyda chynnydd cyffredinol yr Adolygiad Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol hyd yma. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu ar y cyd ag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Fusnes y Llywodraeth a Chysylltiadau Cyfansoddiadol yn Llywodraeth yr Alban, at Lywodraeth y DU i amlinellu'r camau nesaf y disgwyliwn y caiff eu cymryd o ran yr Adolygiad.


Yn y cyfarfod, trafodwyd hefyd y cynnydd da sydd wedi'i wneud o ran y Fframweithiau Cyffredin. Gallwch weld rhagor o wybodaeth am hyn yma: http://qna.files.parliament.uk/ws\-attachments/1136451/original/Frameworks%20Products%20Update%20\.pdf.


Pwysleisiais bod angen cynllun clir ar gyfer cyhoeddiadau ac ymgysylltu wrth i'r gwaith hwn fynd yn ei flaen, a byddaf yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i Aelodau yn llawn.
