English: Minister, could I agree with your assessment of the value of the funding that has come from the EU over the years? I don't agree every time with the way in which that money has been spent, but that funding has definitely brought benefit and there was potential, of course, to continue with that. I do agree also that there are several principles that are vital as we move forward - first of all, that we have to ensure that not a penny is lost, and it's not just the shared prosperity fund that we're talking about here. We've already heard mention about Erasmus today and that is a separate pot. Well, we have to ensure that that comes as well. So, No. 1 - not a penny less. And, secondly, this principle that we have to respect the devolution settlement. We haven't yet heard what we need to hear from the UK Government. Yes, there are a number of warm words that have emanated and promising signs from the new Secretary of State for Wales. But as we are now within a year of losing that EU funding, warm words are not enough. They weren't enough a year ago, but by now I do agree with the Minister that we should be in a much stronger place, and we will support the Government as you move towards having the kind of assurance that you're asking for. There's not much in this statement today beyond those statements, that is I agree with them. You're talking about the announcements that will be made in the next few months about thinking about different ways of targeting funding on a regional basis. So, just two questions suddenly on that. What kind of targets do you want to put in place to ensure that that funding does bring results? That is, we as a part, have supported having growth targets and prosperity targets on a regional basis for many years and we would wish to see that kind of target driving Welsh Government policy. And, secondly, how flexible are you willing to be as a Government in terms of what kind of regions we're talking about? For example, I was talking to a member of the leadership team in Gwynedd Council a few days ago who was talking about the benefit that could come to Gwynedd through working regionally across north Wales in some contexts; in working with Ceredigion and Powys when it comes to issues relating to south Gwynedd; and then working across west Wales, on the map that we've come to know as Arfor, in other contexts. So, how flexible are you willing to be in terms of the regions that you're going to create, if the creation of regions is the intention?
Welsh: Weinidog, gaf i gytuno â'ch asesiad chi o werth yr arian sydd wedi dod gan yr Undeb Ewropeaidd dros y blynyddoedd? Dydw i ddim yn cytuno bob tro efo sut mae'r arian hwnnw wedi cael ei wario, ond mae'r arian hwnnw wedi dod â budd heb os, ac mi oedd yna botensial, wrth gwrs, i barhau ag o. Dwi'n cytuno hefyd fod yna sawl egwyddor sy'n gwbl greiddiol wrth inni symud ymlaen - yn gyntaf, bod yn rhaid sicrhau nad oes yr un geiniog yn cael ei cholli, ac nid dim ond drwy'r gronfa shared prosperity rydyn ni'n sôn amdani yn y fan hyn. Rydyn ni wedi clywed crybwyll yn barod heddiw ynglŷn ag Erasmus - sôn bod hwnnw'n bot ar wahân. Bydd eisiau sicrhau bod hwnnw'n dod hefyd. Felly, un - dim ceiniog yn llai. Ac, yn ail - yr egwyddor yma fod yn rhaid parchu'r setliad datganoli. Dydyn ni ddim hyd yma wedi clywed yr hyn rydyn ni ei angen gan Lywodraeth Prydain. Oes, mae yna nifer o eiriau cynnes wedi dod ag arwyddion addawol, o bosib, gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol newydd dros Gymru, ond â ninnau rŵan o fewn blwyddyn at golli'r arian Ewropeaidd, dydy geiriau cynnes ddim yn ddigon da. Doedden nhw ddim yn ddigon da flwyddyn yn ôl, ond erbyn hyn rydw i'n cytuno â'r Gweinidog y dylen ni fod mewn lle llawer cryfach, ac mi gefnogwn ni'r Llywodraeth wrth i chi symud ymlaen tuag at gael y math o sicrwydd rydych chi'n gofyn amdano fo. Does yna ddim llawer iawn yn y datganiad yma heddiw y tu hwnt i'r datganiadau, hynny yw dwi'n cytuno â nhw. Sôn ydych chi am y cyhoeddiadau sydd yn mynd i gael eu gwneud yn y misoedd i ddod ynglŷn â meddwl am ffordd wahanol o dargedu arian yn rhanbarthol. Felly, jest dau gwestiwn yn sydyn ar hynny. Pa fath o dargedau ydych chi'n bwriadu eu rhoi mewn lle i sicrhau bod yr arian yna yn dod â chanlyniadau? Hynny ydy, rydyn ni fel plaid wedi cefnogi cael targedau twf a ffyniant rhanbarthol ers blynyddoedd ac mi fyddwn ni'n dymuno gweld y math yna o dargedau yn gyrru polisi Llywodraeth. Ac, yn ail, pa mor hyblyg ydych chi'n barod i fod fel Llywodraeth ynglŷn â pha fath o ranbarthau yr ydym ni'n sôn amdanyn nhw? Er enghraifft, roeddwn i'n siarad ag aelod o dîm arwain Cyngor Gwynedd ychydig ddyddiau yn ôl a oedd yn sôn am y lles all ddod i Wynedd drwy weithio'n rhanbarthol ar draws gogledd Cymru mewn rhai cyd-destunau; mewn gweithio efo Ceredigion a Phowys pan mae'n dod at faterion yn ymwneud â de Gwynedd; ac wedyn gweithio ar draws gorllewin Cymru, ar hyd y map rydyn ni wedi dod i'w nabod fel Arfor, mewn cyd-destunau eraill. Felly, pa mor hyblyg ydych chi'n barod i fod o ran y rhanbarthau yr ydych yn bwriadu eu creu, os mai creu rhanbarthau ydy'r bwriad?
