English: Can I thank David Rees for his questions and for his ongoing support for the steel industry in Wales? I should point out that, in terms of discussions that are taking place at the European Commission, this is, of course, a confidential negotiation between the European Commission and the joint venture partners, so it wouldn't be the place of Government to get involved in discussions with the European Commission. Our role has always been to create the right environment in which steel-making operations in Wales can be competitive and have a strong, bright future. In terms of the question on whether Trostre would go on sourcing its steel from Port Talbot, of course, this will be a key concern of discussions that are going to take place between ourselves and Tata in the weeks to come. I am seeking discussions with the heads of Tata India's business, including, of course, with Bimlendra Jha, who's now returned to India, but with whom we still enjoy a very constructive relationship. The joint venture is a 50:50 relationship between ThyssenKrupp and Tata Steel, and so we expect any pain to be shared equally in terms of any sale of assets. But I must stress again that the sale of Trostre would have to be conducted on the basis of it being a viable business in a competitive market, and I believe that that was stressed in the e-mail from Joe Gallagher to the workforce of Trostre just yesterday evening - that is absolutely correct. Now, in terms of other steelworks in Wales, David Rees mentioned the Cogent Orb Electrical Steels business in Newport, and we are continuing to work very closely with Tata on that particular facility, of course. We have also helped in the successful sale of other concerns by Tata. For example, we helped to secure a future for its Afon Tinplate site. Now, on that occasion, we were able to ensure that there was a successful outcome and that all 43 members of staff were able to continue in their employment at the Swansea site, which now operates as part of the Tinmasters brand. Of course there will be anxiety at Trostre right now, but I am confident that with this Welsh Government continuing to focus relentlessly on creating the right environment in which steel facilities can succeed in Wales, those people employed at Trostre can enjoy a long-term future in the sector.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i David Rees am ei gwestiwn ac am ei gefnogaeth barhaus i'r diwydiant dur yng Nghymru? O ran y trafodaethau sy'n digwydd yn y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd, dylwn nodi mai negodi cyfrinachol rhwng y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd a phartneriaid y gyd-fenter yw hyn wrth gwrs, felly nid lle'r Llywodraeth fyddai cymryd rhan mewn trafodaethau gyda'r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd. Ein rôl ni bob amser yw creu'r amgylchedd cywir lle gall gweithfeydd dur yng Nghymru fod yn gystadleuol a chael dyfodol disglair, cryf. O ran y cwestiwn ynglŷn ag a fyddai Trostre'n parhau i gael ei ddur o Bort Talbot wrth gwrs, bydd hwn yn fater allweddol yn y trafodaethau sy'n mynd i ddigwydd rhyngom a Tata yn yr wythnosau i ddod. Rwy'n gofyn am drafodaethau gyda phenaethiaid busnes Tata yn India, gan gynnwys, wrth gwrs, gyda Bimlendra Jha, sydd bellach wedi dychwelyd i'r India, ond mae gennym berthynas adeiladol iawn ag ef o hyd. Mae'r gyd-fenter yn berthynas 50:50 rhwng ThyssenKrupp a Tata Steel, ac felly rydym yn disgwyl y caiff unrhyw boen ei rhannu'n gyfartal o ran unrhyw asedau a werthir. Ond rhaid i mi bwysleisio unwaith eto y byddai'n rhaid i werthu Trostre ddigwydd ar y sail ei fod yn fusnes hyfyw mewn marchnad gystadleuol, a chredaf fod hynny wedi'i bwysleisio mewn e-bost gan Joe Gallagher at weithlu Trostre neithiwr - mae hynny'n hollol gywir. Nawr, o ran gweithfeydd dur eraill yng Nghymru, soniodd David Rees am fusnes Cogent Orb Electrical Steels yng Nghasnewydd, ac rydym yn parhau i weithio'n agos iawn gyda Tata mewn perthynas â'r gwaith hwnnw wrth gwrs. Rydym hefyd wedi helpu i gyfrannu at lwyddiant gwerthiannau eraill gan Tata. Er enghraifft, fe wnaethom helpu i sicrhau dyfodol i'w safle Afon Tinplate. Nawr, ar yr achlysur hwnnw, gallasom sicrhau canlyniad llwyddiannus a gallodd pob un o'i 43 aelod o staff barhau yn eu gwaith ar y safle yn Abertawe, sydd bellach yn gweithredu fel rhan o frand Tinmasters. Wrth gwrs bydd pryder yn Nhrostre ar hyn o bryd, ond gyda Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i ganolbwyntio'n ddigyfaddawd ar greu'r amgylchedd iawn i weithfeydd dur allu llwyddo yng Nghymru, rwy'n hyderus y gall y bobl a gyflogir yn Nhrostre fwynhau dyfodol hirdymor yn y sector.
