Wrth siarad cyn y sesiwn cwestiynau llafar yn y Senedd, dywedodd bod rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU warantu pob ceiniog o gyllid sy’n dod oddi wrth yr UE ar hyn o bryd.  
  
Ychwanegodd bod Cronfeydd Strwythurol yr UE yn chwarae rhan hanfodol yn cefnogi twf a swyddi ar draws Cymru ac y bydd unrhyw arian sy’n cael ei golli yn cael effaith ar bobl, busnesau a chymunedau.

Dywedodd Mark Drakeford:    
 
> “Mae Cymru’n elwa’n ariannol o’r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Mae’r miliynau o bunnoedd o arian Ewropeaidd sy’n dod i Gymru’n helpu pobl i gael gwaith a hyfforddiant; yn cefnogi busnesau; yn ysgogi arloesi ac yn helpu i adfywio cymunedau. Rhaid i Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig warantu na fydd Cymru ar ei cholled wrth adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.”

   
Ers 2007, mae prosiectau’r UE wedi creu 11,900 o fentrau a thua 37,000 (gros) o swyddi; wedi helpu 72,700 o bobl i gael gwaith; ac wedi helpu dros 229,000 o bobl i ennill cymwysterau a 56,000 o bobl i fynd i addysg bellach.   
Dan y gwerth £1\.8bn o raglenni presennol sy’n cael cymorth yr UE, mae dros £700m o Gronfeydd Strwythurol yr UE eisoes wedi’u hymrwymo, 40% o gyfanswm y dyraniad ar gyfer 2014\-20\.    
Dywedodd Mark Drakeford:     
 
> “Bydd toriadau i’r cyllid yn cael effaith wirioneddol ar ein cyllidebau a’n strategaethau ar gyfer swyddi a thwf. Mae Prif Weinidog Cymru wedi ysgrifennu at Brif Weinidog y Deyrnas Unedig ar yr union fater hwn. Tra bod trefniadau Brexit yn cael eu gwneud ar gyfer y tymor hir, byddwn yn parhau i gyflawni rhaglenni presennol yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yng Nghymru, gan fuddsoddi mewn prosiectau i sicrhau cysondeb i ddinasyddion, cymunedau, ffermwyr a busnesau.”

   
Er mwyn gadael yr UE, rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU roi rhybudd dan Erthygl 50 o Gytundeb Lisbon, sy’n rhoi hyd at ddwy flynedd i drafod telerau’r ymadawiad.   
Ychwanegodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet:  
> “Ein blaenoriaeth nawr yw cael eglurhad gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig am natur, amseriad a chanlyniad y trafodaethau ynghylch ymadael, a sut y bydd yn gwneud yn iawn am golli’r arian Ewropeaidd sylweddol y mae Cymru yn ei dderbyn ar hyn o bryd, yn arbennig ar gyfer y rhannau mwyaf anghenus o Gymru.  “Rhaid i Gymru fod yn rhan o’r trafodaethau hyn er mwyn i ni gael y fargen orau bosib. Mae hyn yn cynnwys yr angen i Lywodraeth y DU ddiwygio’r hen fformiwla Barnett ar frys er mwyn sicrhau system ariannu decach i Gymru, gan ystyried yr anghenion sy’n codi wrth adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.”

Speaking ahead of oral questions in the Senedd, he said the UK government must guarantee every penny of funding which the EU currently provides.

He added that EU Structural Funds play a vital role in supporting growth and jobs across Wales and any loss of funds will have a impact on people, businesses and communities.

Mark Drakeford said:


> “Wales is a net beneficiary from the European Union. The millions of pounds Wales receives from the EU help people into work and training; support businesses; drive innovation and help to regenerate communities. The UK Government must guarantee that Wales will not lose out from an EU withdrawal.”

Since 2007, EU projects have created 11,900 enterprises and some 37,000 (gross) jobs; helped 72,700 people into work; helped more than 229,000 people gain qualifications and 56,000 people into further learning since 2007\.

Under the current £1\.8bn EU\-supported programmes, more than £700m of EU Structural Funds have already been committed, 40% of the total allocation for the 2014\-20 period.

Mark Drakeford said:


> “Funding cuts will have a real impact on our budgets and strategies for growth and jobs. The First Minister has written to the UK Prime Minister about this very issue. While arrangements for a Brexit are being made for the longer term, we will continue to deliver existing EU programmes in Wales, investing in projects to ensure continuity for citizens, communities, farmers and businesses.”

As part of an EU exit, the UK government must give notification under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which would give up to 2 years to negotiate its withdrawal.

The Cabinet Secretary added:


> “It is a priority for us to seek clarification from the UK government about the nature, timing and outcome of negotiations for a UK exit and how significant EU funds for Wales will be replaced, particularly for those parts of Wales which need these the most.
> 
> “Wales must be involved in the negotiations so we get the best deal for Wales. This includes the need for urgent reform of the out\-dated Barnett formula by the UK Government to ensure a fairer funding system for Wales, taking into account needs arising from EU withdrawal.”
