English: Well, of course, Mr Hamilton is right: we have profound disagreements between the position taken on the whole business of Europe and leaving the European Union, between the position taken by the Welsh Government and the position that his party - as he himself has regularly outlined it here on the floor of the Assembly. But, in the ecumenical spirit of his contribution this afternoon, let me make two or three points: first of all, I think it is a sobering conclusion that has to be drawn that the UK Government has struggled so much to carry out negotiations with its very closest neighbours here inside the United Kingdom at the point when it's about to embark on trying to conclude the most complex negotiations with 27 other European states. Successive UK Ministers tell us just how easy this is going to be, just what a breeze it's going to be, to get all the agreements that they say are necessary as we leave the European Union, yet they have failed to be able to come to an agreement on a matter where - and I definitely do agree with what Neil Hamilton said here - a dispute was unnecessary from the very beginning. The very first time David Davis, as the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, said at a JMC that there was to be an EU withdrawal Bill, I said, on behalf of the Welsh Government, that we agreed that it was important that that Bill was brought forward and we wanted that Bill to be a success, because the Bill is about an orderly transfer of law that we have relied upon as a result of our membership of the European Union into the law that we will need the other side of Brexit. And picking a quarrel with a group of people who were on your side in that endeavour has been mystifying to me when the UK Government has its hands full - so very full you might say overfull - with trying to navigate and negotiate all the other complexities of leaving the European Union. I think that in many ways that does explain the dilatory nature of their response. It's a Government overwhelmed by the task that it faces and it struggles to find the time and the energy and the effort that is needed to pursue matters, which, when they're not pursued, become really difficult problems that could have been resolved far more easily. I said here in the Chamber in the last week or two, Llywydd, that, at last week's meeting, David Lidington was to be the fifth chair of the JMC on European negotiations, in a body that has been going for less than 18 months. That just tells you something about how difficult it is to create a momentum in that forum, because the key individuals have been changing so rapidly. And that's why we didn't have a paper tabled that would've allowed for a proper discussion at a point in the process where that would've allowed that to happen. That's a step backwards from where we were in the autumn, where the JMC was conducted on a more orderly basis, where we had agendas, where we had papers, where we had minutes, where we had a room that we could be sure that we would meet in that didn't change as we were in the train between Cardiff and London. Last week's meeting - constructive as it was - represented a step backwards from the stability that we'd seen in the autumn. Nevertheless, we press ahead in the way that I've described. Our job is always to try and be as constructive as we can to find ways of coming to an agreement, of bridging positions that are not in the interests of either the United Kingdom or of Wales, and the Welsh Government's part in all of this is always to try to look for ways in which difficult situations - even ones that need never have happened - can in the end be successfully resolved.
Welsh: Wel, wrth gwrs, mae Mr Hamilton yn gywir: mae cryn anghydweld rhwng y safbwyntiau a fabwysiadwyd ynglŷn â'r holl fusnes o Ewrop a gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, rhwng safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru a sefyllfa ei blaid - y mae ef ei hun yn rheolaidd wedi ei amlinellu yma ar lawr y Cynulliad. Ond, yn ysbryd eciwmenaidd ei gyfraniad y prynhawn yma, gadewch imi wneud dau neu dri phwynt: yn gyntaf oll, credaf ei bod hi'n sefyllfa sobreiddiol bod Llywodraeth y DU wedi ei chael hi mor anodd i gynnal trafodaethau gyda'i chymdogion agosaf yma o fewn y Deyrnas Unedig a hithau ar fin cychwyn ceisio cwblhau'r negodiadau mwyaf cymhleth gyda 27 o wladwriaethau Ewropeaidd eraill. Mae Gweinidogion olynol y DU yn dweud wrthym pa mor hawdd y bydd hyn, pa mor ddidrafferth y bydd, i gael yr holl gytundebau y maen nhw'n dweud sy'n angenrheidiol wrth inni adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, ac eto nid ydyn nhw wedi gallu dod i gytundeb ar fater lle - ac rwy'n sicr yn cytuno'n â'r hyn a ddywedodd Neil Hamilton yma - lle nad oedd angen anghydfod o'r cychwyn cyntaf. Pan ddywedodd David Davis, yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol ar gyfer gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, am y tro cyntaf erioed mewn cyfarfod o'r Cyd-bwyllgor Gweinidogion, y byddai Bil ymadael â'r UE, dywedais, ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru, ein bod yn cytuno ei bod yn bwysig cyflwyno'r Bil a'n bod eisiau i'r Bil fod yn llwyddiant, oherwydd mae a wnelo'r Bil â throsglwyddiad trefnus o gyfraith yr ydym ni wedi dibynnu arni o ganlyniad i'n haelodaeth o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd i gyfraith y bydd ei hangen arnom ni ar ôl Brexit. Ac mae mynd ar ofyn ffrae gyda grŵp o bobl a oedd yn eich cefnogi yn y gwaith hwnnw wedi bod yn ddirgelwch i mi pan fo dwylo Llywodraeth y DU yn llawn - mor llawn y gallech chi ddweud eu bod yn orlawn - gyda'r gwaith o geisio llywio a negodi'r holl gymhlethdodau eraill o adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Rwy'n credu bod hynny ar lawer ystyr yn esbonio natur araf eu hymateb. Mae'n Llywodraeth sydd wedi ei llethu gan y dasg y mae'n ei hwynebu ac mae'n cael trafferth dod o hyd i'r amser a'r egni a'r ymdrech sydd eu hangen i roi sylw i faterion, sy'n troi, o'u hanwybyddu, yn broblemau gwirioneddol anodd y gellid bod wedi eu datrys yn llawer haws. Dywedais yma yn y Siambr yn ystod yr wythnos neu ddwy ddiwethaf, Llywydd, yng nghyfarfod yr wythnos diwethaf, mai David Lidington fyddai pumed Cadeirydd y Cydbwyllgor Gweinidogion ar negodiadau Ewropeaidd, mewn corff sydd wedi bodoli ers llai na 18 mis. Mae hynny'n dweud rhywbeth wrthych chi ynghylch pa mor anodd yw creu momentwm yn y fforwm hwnnw, oherwydd mae unigolion allweddol wedi bod yn newid mor aml. A dyna pam na chyflwynwyd papur a fyddai wedi caniatáu trafodaeth briodol ar adeg yn y broses lle byddai wedi caniatáu i hynny ddigwydd. Mae hynny'n gam yn ôl o'r sefyllfa yr oeddem ni ynddi yn yr hydref, pan gynhaliwyd y Cyd-bwyllgor Gweinidogion ar sail fwy trefnus, pan oedd gennym ni agendâu, pan oedd gennym ni bapurau, pan oedd gennym ni gofnodion, pan oedd gennym ni ystafell y gallem fod yn sicr y byddem yn cwrdd ynddi na fyddai'n newid pan oeddem ni ar y trên rhwng Caerdydd a Llundain. Roedd cyfarfod yr wythnos diwethaf - er ei fod yn adeiladol - yn gam yn ôl o'r sefydlogrwydd a welsom yn yr hydref. Serch hynny, rydym yn bwrw ymlaen yn y ffordd yr wyf i wedi ei ddisgrifio. Ein gwaith ni bob amser yw ceisio bod mor adeiladol ag y gallwn a dod o hyd i ffyrdd o ddod i gytundeb, pontio'r safbwyntiau nad ydyn nhw naill ai'n llesol i'r Deyrnas Unedig neu Gymru, a rhan Llywodraeth Cymru yn hyn i gyd bob amser yw ceisio chwilio am ffyrdd o ddatrys sefyllfaoedd anodd - hyd yn oed y rhai nad oedd angen iddyn nhw byth fodoli - yn y pen draw yn llwyddiannus.
