 Daw Julie Morgan yn lle’r cyn\-gadeirydd, Mick Antoniw AC, a benodwyd fel Cwnsler Cyffredinol Llywodraeth Cymru yn gynharach eleni.

 Bydd yn arwain y Pwyllgor o 28 o aelodau sy’n cynrychioli partneriaid a sectorau, gan gynnwys byd busnes, addysg, llywodraeth leol, diwydiannau’r tir a’r trydydd sector, ac sydd wedi’u penodi yn ôl haeddiant drwy benodiadau cyhoeddus.

 Wrth benodi Mrs Morgan, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones: 

 
> “Mae arian Ewropeaidd yn hanfodol i gefnogi’n polisïau ar gyfer swyddi a thwf cynaliadwy, ac fe fydd y Cadeirydd yn chwarae rhan bwysig yn sicrhau ein bod ni’n parhau i fanteisio i’r eithaf ar bob buddsoddiad Ewropeaidd sydd ar gael.
> 
>  “Rwy’ wedi gofyn am ymrwymiad cadarn na fydd Cymru’n colli ceiniog o’r arian Ewropeaidd rydyn ni’n ei gael ar hyn o bryd nes 2023 o ganlyniad i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Rydyn ni’n parhau i drafod gyda Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig ynghylch gwarantu cyllid ar gyfer prosiectau fydd yn cael eu cytuno ar ôl Datganiad yr Hydref eleni.
> 
>  “Ein blaenoriaeth ni yw sicrhau’r fargen orau i Gymru yn y trafodaethau sydd i ddod ar delerau ymadawiad y Deyrnas Unedig o’r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Mae hyn yn cynnwys diogelu’r holl gyllid sydd ar gael i Gymru ar hyn o bryd er mwyn i fusnesau, pobl a’r gymuned barhau i gael y gefnogaeth angenrheidiol.”

 Dywedodd Mrs Morgan:

 
> “Rwy’n falch iawn o gael fy mhenodi’n Gadeirydd Pwyllgor Monitro Rhaglenni Cymru. Mae’r cyllid Ewropeaidd sy’n cael ei roi i Gymru yno am reswm – cefnogi twf a swyddi – ac rydyn ni’n benderfynol o ddefnyddio’r cronfeydd Ewropeaidd yn llwyddiannus.   
>   
> “Bydd y Pwyllgor hefyd yn helpu i lunio strategaeth Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer sicrhau’r canlyniadau gorau posib wrth i ni baratoi i newid ein perthynas gydag Ewrop.”

The Wales Programme Monitoring Committee (PMC) is responsible for monitoring the effective delivery of the European Structural and Investment funds in Wales, which provide support to help people into work, drive business growth and innovation as well as assistance for rural communities.


Julie Morgan replaces former chair, Mick Antoniw AM, who was appointed as the Welsh Government’s Counsel General earlier this year.


She will now lead the PMC which comprises 28 members drawn on a representative basis from partners and sectors, including business, education, local government, land\-based industries and the third sector, and on merit through public appointments.  

  

The Committee is responsible for overseeing the delivery of the programmes for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), European Social Fund (ESF) and European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) programmes.

> “EU funds are vital to supporting our policies for sustainable jobs and growth and the Chair will play an important role in ensuring we continue to maximise the impact of EU investments available to us.
> 
> 
> “I have sought a cast iron commitment that Wales will not lose a penny of the EU money we currently receive up to 2023 as a result of withdrawal from the EU. We are in on\-going discussions with the UK Government about guaranteeing funds for projects agreed after this year’s Autumn Statement.
> 
> 
> “Our priority is to get the best deal for Wales in the forthcoming negotiations over the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. This includes safeguarding all the funding to which Wales has access so businesses, people and communities continue to receive the support they need.”
