English: May I welcome the tone of the Minister's statement today? The principles contained within it are robust, and I certainly couldn't argue with them, but I also have to say that I had hoped to hear specific proposals in this statement in terms of how the Government is going to tackle the issues and the challenges set out by the Minister. Unfortunately, we're still in a position where we are discussing some high-level ideas, without actually discussing what are the specific proposals put forward by the Government. So, may I turn to some of these now, and ask a number of questions, if I may, of the Minister on these issues? For example, the Government held a very broad consultation on the management of the natural resources of Wales last year. It was a contentious consultation in certain areas, and most of those proposals now sit with the Minister, I believe. There were 56 proposals in this consultation. To date, we haven't seen the summary report of the consultation that was promised in the new year, but certainly I haven't seen anything that's been presented to the Assembly. Of the 56 proposals, there's no mention today which proposals the Government intends to proceed with, so I'd like to hear from the Minister which proposals she intends to take action on. Fundamental to the challenge that the Minister has set out today on biodiversity, for example, and on the quality of the environment, are the area statements by NRW. When will we see these area statements, and when will we know what will happen at a very localised level in order to tackle some of these issues? The Minister has mentioned forestry, and David Melding also made mention of this. I think it's true to say that we've only reached 10 per cent of the current target that we have, so what exactly does the Government propose in order to hasten this process so that we can move far more swiftly with the planting of trees, particularly commercial forestry? I accept that we have a different landscape and a different environment to Scotland, but there is room to develop commercial forestry in Wales. For example, is there anything further that the Minister can tell us about enabling NRW to retain some of the funds raised through the leasing of land for renewable energy in order to redirect that funding directly to the planting of trees and also the commercial planting of trees as well? The challenges of the national parks have already been mentioned. Although I do recognise that there is some additional funding available, the core funding for the national parks, particularly the areas of outstanding natural beauty, is very small and has been reduced over recent years. So, are they sufficiently funded to respond to the challenges set out in this statement? And may I ask whether NRW is sufficiently funded and in a sufficiently robust governance position to tackle some of these challenges too? I accept that there is to be a statement in a few weeks' time on air quality, but it is true to say that we do need very swift action by the Government in this area. I and Plaid Cymru are now of the view that we need no less than a clean air Act in order to tackle this issue, and I look forward to hearing what the Minister will have to say. I accept that it's not contained within today's statement, but I hope that we will see that very soon.
Welsh: A gaf i groesawu naws y datganiad gan y Gweinidog heddiw? Mae'r egwyddorion sydd yn y datganiad yn rai digon cadarn. Nid oes modd imi, yn sicr, ddadlau yn eu cylch nhw, ond mae'n rhaid i minnau ddweud hefyd roeddwn i'n gobeithio am gynigion penodol yn y datganiad yma ynglŷn â sut mae'r Llywodraeth yn mynd i fynd i'r afael â'r cwestiynau a'r heriau sydd wedi cael eu gosod gan y Gweinidog. Rydym ni'n dal, yn anffodus, mewn sefyllfa lle'r ydym ni'n trafod rhai syniadau eithaf lefel uchel, ond heb drafod beth yw'r cynigion penodol sydd gan y Llywodraeth. Felly, a gaf i droi at rai o'r rhain nawr a gofyn nifer o gwestiynau, os caf i, i'r Gweinidog ar y materion hyn? Er enghraifft, fe gynhaliodd y Llywodraeth ymgynghoriad eang iawn ar reolaeth adnoddau naturiol Cymru llynedd. Roedd e'n ymgynghoriad dadleuol mewn cylchoedd. Mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r cynigion hynny bellach yn gorwedd gyda'r Gweinidog, rydw i'n meddwl. Roedd yna 56 cynnig yn yr ymgynghoriad yma. Hyd yma, nid ydym ni wedi gweld yr adroddiad cryno ar yr ymgynghoriad a addawyd yn y flwyddyn newydd, ond nid ydw i'n sicr ddim wedi gweld bod unrhyw beth wedi cael ei gyflwyno i'r Cynulliad. O'r 56 cynnig, nid oes sôn heddiw am ba rai y mae'r Llywodraeth yn bwriadu mynd yn eu blaen, felly hoffwn i wybod gan y Gweinidog pa rai y mae hi'n bwriadu gweithredu arnyn nhw. Yn sylfaenol i'r her y mae'r Gweinidog wedi ei osod allan inni heddiw ynglŷn â bioamrywiaeth, er enghraifft, ynglŷn ag ansawdd yr amgylchedd, yw datganiadau ardal gan Gyfoeth Naturiol Cymru. Pryd byddwn ni'n gweld y datganiadau ardal yma a phryd, felly, byddwn ni'n gwybod beth sy'n mynd i ddigwydd ar lefel lleol iawn i fynd i'r afael â hyn? Mae'r Gweinidog wedi trafod coedwigoedd, a David Melding hefyd. Mae'n wir i ddweud, rydw i'n meddwl, ein bod ni ond wedi cyrraedd 10 y cant o'r targed presennol sydd gyda ni, felly, beth yn union sydd gan y Llywodraeth i'w gynnig i gyflymu'r broses yna sut gymaint fel ein bod ni'n gallu mynd yn llawer mwy eang gyda phlannu coedwigoedd, ac yn enwedig coedwigoedd masnachol? Rydw i'n derbyn y pwynt bod gyda ni dirwedd wahanol ac amgylchedd gwahanol i'r Alban, ond mae yna le i ddatblygu coedwigoedd masnachol yng Nghymru. Er enghraifft, a oes unrhyw beth pellach mae'r Gweinidog yn gallu dweud wrthym ni ynglŷn â galluogi Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i gadw rhan o'r arian sydd yn cael ei godi drwy lesio tir ar gyfer ynni adnewyddol er mwyn dargyfeirio'r arian yna yn uniongyrchol at blannu coed a phlannu coed masnachol yn ogystal? Mae heriadau'r parciau cenedlaethol eisoes wedi cael eu crybwyll, ond rydw i, er yn cydnabod bod rhywfaint o arian ychwanegol - mae'r cyllido sylfaenol ar gyfer y parciau cenedlaethol, ac yn enwedig ardaloedd harddwch eithriadol, yn dila iawn ac wedi crebachu dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Felly, a ydyn nhw wedi eu cyllido yn ddigon i ymateb i'r her sydd yn y datganiad? Ac a gaf i ofyn: a ydy Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi ei gyllido digon ac mewn siâp llywodraethu digon da i fynd i'r afael â rhai o'r heriadau yma hefyd? Rwy'n derbyn bod yna ddatganiad mewn wythnosau ynglŷn ag ansawdd awyr, ond mae'n wir i ddweud bod angen gweithredu cyflym iawn gan y Llywodraeth ar y mater yma. Rydw i a Phlaid Cymru o'r farn bellach bod angen dim llai na Deddf awyr glân er mwyn mynd i'r afael â hyn, ac rydw i'n edrych ymlaen at glywed beth sydd gan y Gweinidog i'w ddweud. Rwy'n derbyn nad yw e yn adroddiad heddiw, ond gobeithio y daw e yn fuan iawn.
