English: I thank my colleague, Llyr Gruffydd, for bringing forward this motion to annul the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021. And this, of course, follows on the Welsh Conservative debate from last week, where, it's fair to say, the vote was very close indeed. Now, Minister, I've asked you, we've debated, we've discussed, both in the Chamber and in committee. We've asked you to do exactly what Llyr Gruffydd has said - either to annul, or certainly come to some other conclusions, and please do not penalise our farmers in this way. Now, as you stated to me in the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee last month, what you have to understand is many, many farmers don't pollute. So, how then do you think that those many, many farmers now feel, knowing that you are: one, punishing them with regulations that are not proportionate; two, offering as little as 3.6 per cent of the funding needed to cover the upfront capital costs; three, pushing them towards a situation in which they could be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction, or on conviction, on indictment to a fine? Why have you chosen not to respond to recommendations by the Wales Land Management Forum sub-group on agricultural pollution, including 4.4, which specifically calls for exploring the most effective means to deliver nutrient management, planning at scale and pace, and 4.11, which calls for a review into funding? Implementing the 30-year-old European Union nitrates directive, despite Brexit, is unnecessary and totally out of order. Evidence from Natural Resources Wales shows that the area of land should be 8 per cent, not 100 per cent. The WLMF sub-group promised to work on identifying existing products that may assist with pollution reduction, such as weed wipers, precision feed management, scrubbers, smart rinsing systems, absorption systems, slurry separators in field troughs, riparian fencing, and reed beds - all reasonable measures that could be taken instead. You could be backing the blue flag farmer-led partnership approach, and responding to the draft water framework and water standard, shared with you in March 2020. According to the explanatory memorandum, there is potential for a negative impact on mental well-being for our farmers. They are facing desperation for the long-term viability of their businesses, their family homes, and our food supply. Mental health concerns in the sector are rocketing, so why are you introducing the regulations despite the mental health warning in your own explanatory memorandum? Glanbia Cheese has highlighted serious concerns about the impact of the regulations on the security of milk supply in Wales. NFU Cymru's lawyers have written setting out their concerns about the lawfulness of this decision. We should all today, Members, be voting for annulment, as the regulations are set to damage our Welsh farms and the well-being of communities. I cannot be the only Senedd Member to have received hundreds and hundreds of desperate e-mails from our farming community. I would ask on this occasion to listen to them, all of your constituents, listen to them. Minister, I say to you, as I said last week: it takes a big person to say, 'Do you know what? I got this wrong.' Indeed, you have got it wrong -
Welsh: Diolch i fy nghyd-Aelod, Llyr Gruffydd, am gyflwyno'r cynnig hwn i ddirymu Rheoliadau Adnoddau Dŵr (Rheoli Llygredd Amaethyddol) (Cymru) 2021. Ac mae hyn, wrth gwrs, yn dilyn dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yr wythnos diwethaf, ac mae'n deg dweud bod y bleidlais yn y ddadl honno'n agos iawn wir. Nawr, Weinidog, rwyf wedi gofyn i chi, rydym wedi dadlau, rydym wedi trafod, yn y Siambr ac yn y pwyllgor. Rydym wedi gofyn i chi wneud yn union yr hyn y mae Llyr Gruffydd wedi'i ddweud - naill ai dirymu, neu i ddod i gasgliadau eraill yn sicr, a pheidio â chosbi ein ffermwyr fel hyn. Nawr, fel y dywedoch chi wrthyf yn y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig fis diwethaf, yr hyn y mae'n rhaid ichi ei ddeall yw bod llawer iawn o ffermwyr nad ydynt yn llygru. Felly, sut rydych yn credu y mae'r nifer fawr o ffermwyr hynny bellach yn teimlo, gan wybod eich bod: un, yn eu cosbi gyda rheoliadau nad ydynt yn gymesur; dau, yn cynnig cyn lleied â 3.6 y cant o'r arian sydd ei angen i dalu'r costau cyfalaf ymlaen llaw; tri, yn eu gwthio i sefyllfa lle gallent fod yn euog o drosedd ac yn agored ar euogfarn ddiannod, neu ar gollfarn, ar dditiad i ddirwy? Pam eich bod wedi dewis peidio ag ymateb i argymhellion is-grŵp Fforwm Rheoli Tir Cymru ar lygredd amaethyddol, gan gynnwys 4.4, sy'n galw'n benodol am archwilio'r dulliau mwyaf effeithiol o reoli maethynnau, cynllunio ar raddfa fawr a chyflymder, a 4.11, sy'n galw am adolygiad o gyllid? Mae gweithredu cyfarwyddeb nitradau 30 mlwydd oed yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, er gwaethaf Brexit, yn ddiangen ac yn gwbl annerbyniol. Dengys tystiolaeth gan Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru y dylai arwynebedd y tir fod yn 8 y cant, nid 100 y cant. Addawodd is-grŵp Fforwm Rheoli Tir Cymru weithio ar nodi cynhyrchion sy'n bodoli eisoes a allai helpu i leihau llygredd, megis weed wipers, rheoli porthiant manwl, sgwrwyr, systemau rinsio clyfar, systemau amsugno, gwahanyddion slyri mewn cafnau caeau, ffensys glannau afon a gwelyau cyrs - pob mesur rhesymol y gellid ei gymryd yn lle hynny. Gallech fod yn cefnogi dull y faner las, sef dull partneriaeth o dan arweiniad ffermwyr, ac ymateb i'r fframwaith dŵr drafft a'r safon dŵr, a rannwyd gyda chi ym mis Mawrth 2020. Yn ôl y memorandwm esboniadol, mae potensial am effaith negyddol ar les meddyliol ein ffermwyr. Maent yn wynebu anobaith ynghylch hyfywedd hirdymor eu busnesau, eu cartrefi teuluol, a'n cyflenwad bwyd. Mae pryderon iechyd meddwl yn y sector yn cynyddu'n gyflym, felly pam rydych yn cyflwyno'r rheoliadau er gwaethaf y rhybudd iechyd meddwl yn eich memorandwm esboniadol eich hun? Mae Caws Glanbia wedi tynnu sylw at bryderon difrifol am effaith y rheoliadau ar ddiogelwch y cyflenwad llaeth yng Nghymru. Mae cyfreithwyr Undeb Cenedlaethol Amaethwyr Cymru wedi nodi eu pryderon ynghylch cyfreithlondeb y penderfyniad hwn. Dylai pawb ohonom bleidleisio o blaid dirymu heddiw, Aelodau, gan fod y rheoliadau'n debygol o niweidio ffermydd Cymru a llesiant cymunedau. Does bosibl mai fi yw'r unig Aelod o'r Senedd sydd wedi cael cannoedd a channoedd o negeseuon e-bost gofidus oddi wrth ein cymuned ffermio. Hoffwn ofyn ichi wrando arnynt hwy y tro hwn, pob un o'ch etholwyr, gwrandewch arnynt. Weinidog, rwy'n dweud wrthych, fel y dywedais yr wythnos diwethaf: mae'n cymryd person mawr i ddweud, 'Wyddoch chi beth? Roeddwn i'n anghywir ynglŷn â hyn.' Yn wir, rydych chi yn anghywir -
