English: I thank the Member for the question. I did extend it, as you say, to 30 September, following representations from the farming unions and other environmental organisations. And, certainly, over the summer recess, when I've been attending the agricultural shows and doing visits in both agriculture and environmental settings, it was very clear, particularly over the summer as well, that the document was a large one, and they felt that to make sure they gave views that would be considered, they needed the extension. So, I did extend it to 30 September. I don't think I'm in a position really to extend it any further, and one of the reasons - and you mentioned Brexit - is probably Brexit. I think it's really important we get as many views as possible in around regulatory changes, around what legislation we might need, and I need to be ready to go at probably very short notice. We don't have the luxury of time, so, no, I don't think I can extend it.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn. Fe'i hymestynnais, fel y dywedwch, hyd at 30 Medi, yn dilyn sylwadau gan yr undebau amaeth a sefydliadau amgylcheddol eraill. Ac yn sicr, yn ystod toriad yr haf, pan fûm yn mynychu'r sioeau amaethyddol, ac wrth ymweld â lleoliadau amaethyddol ac amgylcheddol, roedd yn glir iawn, yn enwedig dros yr haf hefyd, fod y ddogfen yn un fawr, a'u bod yn teimlo y byddai angen yr estyniad arnynt er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn rhoi sylwadau a fyddai'n cael eu hystyried. Felly, fe'i hymestynnais hyd at 30 Medi. Ni chredaf fy mod mewn sefyllfa, mewn gwirionedd, i'w ymestyn ymhellach, ac un o'r rhesymau am hynny - ac fe sonioch am Brexit - yw Brexit, yn ôl pob tebyg. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn ein bod yn cael cymaint o safbwyntiau â phosibl mewn perthynas â newidiadau rheoleiddiol, mewn perthynas â pha ddeddfwriaeth y gallai fod ei hangen arnom, ac mae angen i mi fod yn barod i gychwyn ar fyr rybudd yn ôl pob tebyg. Nid oes gennym lawer o amser, felly, na, ni chredaf y gallaf ei ymestyn.
English: I'm sorry to hear that, but I understand the reasons that the Cabinet Secretary has given. And I know she can't be drawn on the substance of matters that are subject to this consultation, but there is a question of general principle that I think it would be useful to explore here. One of my constituents has written to me to say, in effect, that what we're trying to do here is to reconcile conflicting interests, both of which are legitimate very often. And he asked the question: how does one resolve local situations where one important outdoor activity unavoidably interferes with either the environment or with another important activity, even when both are being conducted in a responsible way. This has arisen, in this particular instance, in the context of access to open water and rivers and the conflict that might exist between canoeists and anglers. What he points out is, I think, a very valid point that, instead of having one overarching right that applies everywhere without any exceptions, we need to have some kind of local decision making that respects the specific circumstances of individual instances. He says, quite reasonably, that there are places where 100 canoeists splashing and screaming at each other all day wouldn't affect angling, but there are other places where the passage of a single canoe, which is discreet, disrupts angling for some time. Therefore, we need to have local decision making so that these individual circumstances can be taken into account.
Welsh: Mae'n flin gennyf glywed hynny, ond rwy'n deall y rhesymau a roddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. A gwn na ellir ei pherswadio i siarad ynglŷn â sylwedd y materion sy'n ddarostyngedig i'r ymgynghoriad hwn, ond credaf fod mater o egwyddor gyffredinol y byddai'n ddefnyddiol ei archwilio yma. Ysgrifennodd un o fy etholwyr ataf i ddweud mai'r hyn yr ydym yn ceisio'i wneud yma, i bob pwrpas, yw dod â buddiannau sy'n gwrthdaro at ei gilydd, pan fo'r ddwy ochr yn gyfiawn yn aml iawn. A gofynnodd y cwestiwn: sut y mae datrys sefyllfaoedd lleol lle na ellir osgoi'r ffaith fod un gweithgaredd awyr agored pwysig yn ymyrryd â'r amgylchedd, neu â gweithgaredd pwysig arall, hyd yn oed pan fo'r ddau'n cael eu cynnal mewn modd cyfrifol. Mae hyn wedi codi, yn yr achos penodol hwn, yng nghyd-destun mynediad at ddŵr agored ac afonydd, a'r gwrthdaro a allai fodoli rhwng canŵ-wyr a physgotwyr. Rwy'n credu bod yr hyn y mae'n ei nodi yn bwynt dilys iawn, ac yn hytrach na chael un hawl gyffredinol sy'n gymwys ym mhobman heb unrhyw eithriadau, mae angen inni gael rhyw fath o broses leol o wneud penderfyniadau sy'n parchu amgylchiadau penodol achosion unigol. Mae'n dweud, yn eithaf rhesymol, fod yna fannau i'w cael lle na fyddai 100 o ganŵ-wyr yn sblasio ac yn sgrechian ar ei gilydd drwy'r dydd yn effeithio ar enweirio, ond bod mannau eraill lle bydd un canŵ di-stŵr yn pasio heibio yn amharu ar enweirio am beth amser. Felly, mae angen i ni sicrhau bod penderfyniadau'n cael eu gwneud ar lefel leol fel bod modd ystyried yr amgylchiadau unigol hyn.
English: Absolutely, and that's something that I think we've been holding workshops on over the summer period and that's certainly something that's been raised with me. We need to collectively identify the best approach forward. So, we can certainly look at that when we have the consultation responses in and they're being assessed.
Welsh: Yn hollol, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth y credaf inni gynnal gweithdai yn ei gylch dros yr haf, ac mae'n sicr yn rhywbeth a fynegwyd wrthyf. Mae angen inni weithio gyda'n gilydd i nodi'r dull gorau o weithredu yn y dyfodol. Felly, gallwn ystyried hynny, yn sicr, pan fydd ymatebion yr ymgynghoriad wedi dod i law ac yn cael eu hasesu.
English: Another important feature of this also respects the rights of landowners and farmers. Obviously, it's in the interests of those who want to see the countryside prosper that we have access as widely as possible, and the more people who get to understand the ways of the countryside, the better it is for all those who live and work in rural communities. But extending the right to, for example, cycle on footpaths, in the same way as currently happens on bridleways, offers new challenges about the riparian land, and similarly the right to camp in open spaces as well, and how one gets there in the first place. So, I hope that the Cabinet Secretary will try to balance the interests here very carefully indeed because farming is under pressure in many ways.
Welsh: Nodwedd bwysig arall o hyn hefyd yw parchu hawliau tirfeddianwyr a ffermwyr. Yn amlwg, mae o fudd i'r rheini sy'n awyddus i weld cefn gwlad yn ffynnu ein bod yn sicrhau cymaint o fynediad â phosibl, a pho fwyaf o bobl sy'n deall cefn gwlad, gorau oll i bawb sy'n byw ac yn gweithio mewn cymunedau gwledig. Ond mae ymestyn yr hawl, er enghraifft, i feicio ar lwybrau troed, fel sy'n digwydd ar lwybrau ceffylau ar hyn o bryd, yn arwain at heriau newydd mewn perthynas â thir ar lannau afonydd, ac yn yr un modd, yr hawl i wersylla mewn mannau agored hefyd, a sut y mae rhywun yn cyrraedd yno yn y lle cyntaf. Felly, gobeithiaf y bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn ceisio cydbwyso'r buddiannau hyn yn ofalus iawn, gan fod ffermio o dan bwysau mewn sawl ffordd.
English: I think that the pertinent word there is 'balance'. You're absolutely right. You mentioned canoeists and anglers, and you mentioned cycling being allowed on bridlepaths. I have to say that, in some of the discussions I've had over the summer, they want to see a multi-use for these paths: they want to see footpaths, cyclists and horse-riding all on the same path; others don't want to. So, I think you're right: it is about a balance. I've had representations around camping. You're quite right: some farmers - I went to a farm up in the Snowdonia national park over the summer, where one farmer said, 'There are 500,000 people visiting this park per year; I want to see as many people as I can on here'. Other famers don't feel that way inclined. It's absolutely about getting the balance right. So, certainly when the consultation closes on 30 September, we'll be able to review the thousands, I think, of responses - I know it's well up in the thousands now - that we will receive.
Welsh: Credaf mai'r gair perthnasol yn hynny o beth yw 'cydbwyso'. Rydych yn llygad eich lle. Fe sonioch chi am ganŵ-wyr a physgotwyr, ac fe sonioch chi am ganiatáu beicio ar lwybrau ceffylau. Mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud eu bod yn awyddus, yn rhai o'r trafodaethau a gefais dros yr haf, i weld aml-ddefnydd ar y llwybrau hyn: maent yn awyddus i weld llwybrau troed, beicwyr a marchogaeth ar yr un llwybr; nid yw eraill yn dymuno gweld hynny. Felly, credaf eich bod yn iawn: mae'n ymwneud â chydbwysedd. Rwyf wedi derbyn sylwadau ynglŷn â gwersylla. Rydych yn llygad eich lle: mae rhai ffermwyr - ymwelais â fferm i fyny ym mharc cenedlaethol Eryri dros yr haf, lle dywedodd un ffermwr, 'Mae 500,000 o bobl yn ymweld â'r parc hwn bob blwyddyn; rwy'n awyddus i weld cymaint o bobl ag y gallaf yma'. Nid yw ffermwyr eraill yn teimlo'r un fath. Mae'n ymwneud yn gyfan gwbl â sicrhau'r cydbwysedd hwnnw. Felly, yn sicr, pan ddaw'r ymgynghoriad i ben ar 30 Medi, gallwn adolygu'r miloedd, rwy'n credu, o ymatebion - gwn fod y ffigur wedi hen gyrraedd y miloedd bellach - a ddaw i law.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. I hope the Cabinet Secretary did get a little break over the summer and, if she did, that she had some time on a beach. If she did, then she would have noticed the plastic that we have on our beaches these days. I think she had the chance, as I did, to meet the eXXpedition female sailing crew, who were sailing around the UK over the summer - or around Britain actually, not the UK, as sailing around the UK is quite difficult - sailing around Britain over the summer. They came to Cardiff and were highlighting plastic in our seas as well. If she did meet them, she will know that they were strongly in support of a deposit-return scheme. She'll also know that the Scottish Government announced in August that they were interested in a deposit-return scheme for Scotland, and Zero Waste Scotland, for example, estimates that, in the Scottish circumstances, just on litter clearance alone, a deposit-return scheme could save between £3 million and £6 million. So, does the Cabinet Secretary now agree with me that it's time to introduce, at the very least, a pilot deposit-return scheme here in Wales?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rwy'n gobeithio bod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi cael gwyliau bach dros yr haf, ac os gwnaeth, ei bod wedi cael peth amser ar draeth. Os gwnaeth, byddai wedi sylwi ar y plastig sydd gennym ar ein traethau y dyddiau hyn. Credaf ei bod wedi cael cyfle, fel y cefais innau, i gyfarfod â chriw hwylio benywaidd eXXpedition, a fu'n hwylio o amgylch y DU dros yr haf - neu o amgylch Prydain mewn gwirionedd, nid y DU, gan fod hwylio o amgylch y DU yn eithaf anodd - hwylio o amgylch Prydain dros yr haf. Daethant i Gaerdydd ac roeddent yn tynnu sylw at blastig yn ein moroedd hefyd. Os cyfarfu â hwy, fe fydd yn gwybod eu bod yn gryf o blaid cynllun dychwelyd blaendal. Fe fydd hi hefyd yn gwybod bod Llywodraeth yr Alban wedi cyhoeddi ym mis Awst fod diddordeb ganddynt mewn cynllun dychwelyd blaendal ar gyfer yr Alban, ac mae Zero Waste Scotland, er enghraifft, yn amcangyfrif, yn achos yr Alban, mewn perthynas â chlirio sbwriel yn unig, y gallai cynllun dychwelyd blaendal arbed rhwng £3 miliwn a £6 miliwn. Felly, a yw Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cytuno â mi bellach ei bod yn bryd cyflwyno cynllun peilot, fan lleiaf, ar gyfer dychwelyd blaendal yma yng Nghymru?
English: Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to meet the crew. I forget what happened - I think I was in another part of Wales, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet them, but I was aware that Simon had met them. I'm sure that Simon Thomas is also aware that I spent the day with Roseanna Cunningham, the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform from Scotland. She came down to Cardiff, mainly to see about our recycling, to see what she could learn from us. We did have a discussion around the DRS. I've commissioned a study around a package or suite of things that I think we can do to reduce waste in packaging. I'm very keen, as you know, to get our recycling rates up. We're now third in the world. I want to be first in the world. So, it was very helpful to hear what Scotland are doing and, as I say, I've commissioned this study, and once that's been reported to me, we can decide on which aspects of it we do.
Welsh: Yn anffodus, ni chefais gyfle i gyfarfod â'r criw. Nid wyf yn cofio beth ddigwyddodd - credaf fy mod mewn rhan arall o Gymru ar y pryd, felly ni chefais gyfle i gyfarfod â hwy, ond roeddwn yn ymwybodol fod Simon wedi cyfarfod â hwy. Rwy'n siŵr fod Simon Thomas hefyd yn ymwybodol fy mod wedi treulio diwrnod gyda Roseanna Cunningham, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd, Newid Hinsawdd a Diwygio'r Tir o'r Alban. Daeth i lawr i Gaerdydd, yn bennaf i weld ynglŷn â'n hailgylchu, i weld beth y gallai ei ddysgu gennym. Cawsom drafodaeth ynglŷn â'r cynllun dychwelyd blaendal. Rwyf wedi comisiynu astudiaeth o becyn neu gyfres o bethau y credaf y gallwn eu gwneud i leihau gwastraff pecynnu. Rwy'n awyddus iawn, fel y gwyddoch, i gynyddu ein cyfraddau ailgylchu. Rydym yn drydydd drwy'r byd bellach. Rwy'n awyddus i fod yn gyntaf drwy'r byd. Felly, roedd yn ddefnyddiol iawn clywed beth y mae'r Alban yn ei wneud, ac fel y dywedais, rwyf wedi comisiynu'r astudiaeth hon, ac wedi i mi dderbyn yr adroddiad, gallwn benderfynu pa agweddau arni y byddwn yn eu rhoi ar waith.
English: 'Yes' is the short answer. I think I'm meeting the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government next week, but I'm not quite sure if that's on the agenda. But certainly, it is something that we have started to discuss. I'm very committed to reducing marine litter, and you may be aware that stakeholders have formed a marine litter task and finish group to tackle the issue of marine litter in Wales. I met with the group in Saundersfoot over the summer recess. Saundersfoot have got a brilliant scheme where they have - I forget what you call them - sort of A boards, where people can go along, take out a pair of gloves, take out a bag and can go and get litter off our beaches et cetera, which I thought was brilliant. So, I think there's lots of good practice out there. It's just about sharing it. I'll be very interested to see what the task and finish group recommendations are.
Welsh: 'Ydy' yw'r ateb cryno. Credaf fy mod yn cyfarfod ag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol yr wythnos nesaf, ond nid wyf yn siŵr a yw hynny ar yr agenda. Ond yn sicr, mae'n rhywbeth rydym wedi dechrau ei drafod. Rwy'n ymrwymedig iawn i leihau sbwriel morol, ac efallai eich bod yn ymwybodol fod rhanddeiliaid wedi ffurfio grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen ar sbwriel morol i fynd i'r afael â sbwriel morol yng Nghymru. Cyfarfûm â'r grŵp yn Saundersfoot yn ystod toriad yr haf. Mae gan Saundersfoot gynllun gwych lle mae ganddynt - ni allaf gofio beth rydych yn eu galw - rhyw fath o fyrddau 'A', lle y gall pobl fynd yno, gwisgo pâr o fenig, gafael mewn bag a mynd ati i gael gwared ar sbwriel oddi ar ein traethau ac yn y blaen, ac roeddwn yn meddwl fod hynny'n wych. Felly, credaf fod llawer o arferion da ar waith. Mae angen ei rannu, dyna i gyd. Bydd gennyf ddiddordeb mawr mewn gweld beth yw argymhellion y grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen.
English: I thank the Minister for that. I'll certainly continue to urge her and the Welsh Government to introduce a deposit return scheme here in Wales. But to turn to another item of unfinished business over the summer, she'll remember coming before the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee on 20 July. She was asked there around the community energy and non-domestic rates effect on hydro schemes in particular. In her reply to the committee on 7 September, she says that hydropower schemes have been disproportionately affected by the non-domestic rates revaluation. So, I'm pleased that she accepts that. She also says that she is now working and committed to finding a solution on the impact of non-domestic rates revaluation. The suggestion is that somehow the solution is to wait for a revaluation and a re-working of non-domestic rates that might happen in 2018 rather than deal with the problem that her own Government's policies have given rise to now. Can she please give a commitment that the difficulty with hydropower schemes, which she now acknowledges, will be solved quicker than that, and that she will work with haste and speed with the Cabinet Secretary for finance to ensure that they're not unreasonably penalised by changing business rates?
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am hynny. Yn sicr, byddaf yn parhau i'w hannog hi a Llywodraeth Cymru i gyflwyno cynllun dychwelyd blaendal yma yng Nghymru. Ond i droi at eitem arall o fusnes anorffenedig dros yr haf, fe fydd yn cofio iddi fod gerbron y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig ar 20 Gorffennaf. Gofynnwyd iddi yno ynglŷn ag effaith ardrethi annomestig ac ynni cymunedol ar gynlluniau ynni dŵr yn arbennig. Yn ei hymateb i'r pwyllgor ar 7 Medi, dywed fod y cynlluniau ynni dŵr wedi cael eu heffeithio'n anghymesur o ganlyniad i ailbrisio'r ardrethi annomestig. Felly, rwy'n falch ei bod yn derbyn hynny. Dywed hefyd ei bod bellach yn gweithio ac wedi ymrwymo i ddod o hyd i ateb mewn perthynas ag effaith ailbrisio ardrethi annomestig. Yr awgrym, rywsut, yw mai'r ateb yw aros i ardrethi annomestig gael eu hailbrisio a'u hailweithio, a allai ddigwydd yn 2018, yn hytrach nag ymdrin yn awr â'r broblem a achoswyd gan bolisïau ei Llywodraeth ei hun. A all roi ymrwymiad y bydd yr anhawster gyda chynlluniau ynni dŵr, y mae bellach yn ei gydnabod, yn cael ei ddatrys yn gynt na hynny, ac y bydd yn gweithio'n gyflym ac ar fyrder gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros gyllid i sicrhau nad ydynt yn cael eu cosbi'n anghymesur o ganlyniad i newid yn yr ardrethi busnes?
English: I can't remember if I met with the British Hydropower Association before I came to committee or after, but it was certainly around that time. Again, I have shared correspondence with the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government, as has the association itself. So, I think, if I could, I will write to the Member with an update.
Welsh: Ni allaf gofio a gefais y cyfarfod â Chymdeithas Ynni Dŵr Prydain cyn neu ar ôl i mi fod gerbron y pwyllgor, ond roedd yn sicr o gwmpas yr amser hwnnw. Unwaith eto, rwyf wedi rhannu gohebiaeth gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol, fel y mae'r gymdeithas ei hun wedi'i wneud. Felly, os caf, fe ysgrifennaf at yr Aelod gyda'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf.
English: Conservatives' spokesperson, Paul Davies.
Welsh: Llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr, Paul Davies.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, over the summer, the third annual implementation plan was published under the Wales animal health and welfare framework, and in your foreword, you state that the year ahead promises to be a challenging one, and I think that's something that we can all certainly agree on. Now, that report highlighted that there is now scope to consider the option of banning the use of wild animals in circuses. Can you tell us why the Welsh Government has not already introduced a ban here in Wales?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, dros yr haf, cyhoeddwyd y trydydd cynllun gweithredu blynyddol o dan fframwaith iechyd a lles anifeiliaid Cymru, ac yn eich rhagair, fe ddywedwch y bydd y flwyddyn sydd i ddod yn un heriol, a chredaf fod hynny'n rhywbeth y gall pob un ohonom gytuno yn ei gylch, yn bendant. Nawr, tynnodd yr adroddiad hwnnw sylw at y ffaith fod lle bellach i ystyried yr opsiwn o wahardd defnyddio anifeiliaid gwyllt mewn syrcasau. A allwch ddweud wrthym pam nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi cyflwyno gwaharddiad yma yng Nghymru?
English: We don't have any circuses licensed in Wales. I have had at least two meetings with Lord Gardiner, the Minister with responsibility in the UK Government. We decided that we would work very closely with them around the possibility of having a joint ban. I last met with Lord Gardiner out in Brussels at an agricultural council, and I am due to have an update, I think, next month.
Welsh: Nid oes gennym syrcasau wedi'u trwyddedu yng Nghymru. Rwyf wedi cael o leiaf ddau gyfarfod gyda'r Arglwydd Gardiner, y Gweinidog sydd â chyfrifoldeb dros hyn yn Llywodraeth y DU. Penderfynasom y byddem yn gweithio'n agos iawn gyda hwy ar y posibilrwydd o gael gwaharddiad ar y cyd. Cyfarfûm â'r Arglwydd Gardiner ddiwethaf allan ym Mrwsel mewn cyngor amaeth, a chredaf fy mod i gael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf fis nesaf.
English: Well, I think it's a real shame that, whilst Wales is advocating a 'let's wait for Westminster' approach, the Scottish Government, for example, have got on with the job and already introduced a Bill, which is working its way through their legislative process. Now, another priority highlighted in the implementation plan is in relation to welfare of animals at the time of slaughter. Following on from the UK Government's announcement on CCTV installed in all English slaughterhouses, can you tell us what the Welsh Government is doing to ensure that a high standard of welfare for animals is kept in Wales, including at the point of slaughter, and will you now commit to seeing CCTV installed at all slaughterhouses here in Wales?
Welsh: Wel, tra bo Cymru yn argymell dull 'gadewch i ni aros am San Steffan' o weithredu, credaf ei bod yn drueni o'r mwyaf fod Llywodraeth yr Alban, er enghraifft, wedi bwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith ac eisoes wedi cyflwyno Bil, sydd wrthi'n mynd drwy eu proses ddeddfwriaethol. Nawr, mae blaenoriaeth arall a amlygwyd yn y cynllun gweithredu yn ymwneud â lles anifeiliaid ar adeg eu lladd. Yn dilyn cyhoeddiad Llywodraeth y DU ynglŷn â gosod teledu cylch cyfyng ym mhob lladd-dy yn Lloegr, a allwch ddweud wrthym beth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i sicrhau y cedwir safon uchel o les anifeiliaid yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys ar adeg eu lladd, ac a wnewch chi ymrwymo yn awr i weld teledu cylch cyfyng yn cael ei osod ym mhob lladd-dy yma yng Nghymru?
