English: I thank Rhianon Passmore for that question. She is right to say that Wales has a larger percentage of our exports to the European Union than any other part of the United Kingdom. In order to support our exporters in the months that lie ahead, the Welsh Government has contracted the services of a cohort of international trade advisers, who will be available to support exporters to navigate the new red tape, which the United Kingdom's negotiating position will effectively be introducing on our businesses. Many exporters, of course, will have already taken into account the fact they face a whole slew of new customs-related export documentation requirements, which obviously will load significant additional costs on to their businesses. But they won't yet have been able to quantify the question of tariffs or how the products that they export are taken into account, how components in those products are treated, how standards are recognised mutually across the Channel. So, all of those are very significant questions in the minds of many business that export, at this point in time, and, I just repeat, that we have 16 days to to before the end of the transition period. So, that's why it's so important to give, even at this late hour, the clarity that businesses need in Wales to support their prosperity and support the livelihoods that depend on them. I do think it's right to say the CBI and other business organisations are clear that a deal is in the best interests of the UK economy and the Welsh economy. Our most recent academic analyses of the long-term impact of a 'no deal' scenario on the Welsh and the UK-wide economy is of an economy that is about 8 per cent less than it would have been over a 10-year period. Now, that's at the same time that businesses are suffering the impacts of COVID and plainly will take a significant period of time to recover from that. We think it's unconscionable to add to the involuntary damage of COVID the voluntary damage of leaving the transition period without a deal.
Welsh: Diolch i Rhianon Passmore am y cwestiwn yna. Mae hi'n iawn i ddweud bod gan Gymru ganran fwy o allforion i'r Undeb Ewropeaidd nag unrhyw ran arall o'r Deyrnas Unedig. I gefnogi ein hallforwyr ni yn y misoedd sydd i ddod, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi contractio gwasanaethau carfan o gynghorwyr masnach rhyngwladol, a fydd ar gael i gefnogi allforwyr i lywio'r fiwrocratiaeth newydd, y bydd safbwynt negodi'r Deyrnas Unedig yn ei rhoi ar ein busnesau ni, i bob pwrpas. Fe fydd llawer o allforwyr, wrth gwrs, eisoes wedi ystyried y ffaith eu bod yn wynebu llu o ofynion dogfennau allforio newydd sy'n gysylltiedig â'r tollau, a fydd yn amlwg yn golygu llwyth o gostau ychwanegol sylweddol i'w busnesau. Ond ni fyddant hyd yn hyn wedi gallu meintioli mater y tariffau na sut y caiff y cynhyrchion y maent yn eu hallforio eu trin, sut y caiff cydrannau'r cynhyrchion hynny eu hystyried, sut y caiff safonau eu cydnabod dros y Sianel. Felly, mae pob un o'r rhain yn gwestiynau o bwys mawr ym meddyliau llawer o fusnesau sy'n allforio, ar hyn o bryd, ac rwy'n dweud eto mai 16 diwrnod sydd gennym ni ar ôl o'r cyfnod pontio. Felly, dyna pam mae mor bwysig, hyd yn oed ar yr unfed awr ar ddeg fel hyn, roi'r eglurder sydd ei angen ar fusnesau yng Nghymru i gefnogi eu ffyniant a chefnogi'r bobl sy'n dibynnu arnyn nhw am fywoliaeth. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn iawn dweud bod y CBI a sefydliadau busnes eraill yn eglur bod cytundeb yn fanteisiol i economi'r DU ac economi Cymru. Mae ein dadansoddiadau academaidd diweddaraf ni o effaith hirdymor senario 'heb gytundeb' ar economi Cymru a'r DU gyfan yn dangos economi sydd tua 8 y cant yn llai nag y byddai wedi bod dros gyfnod o 10 mlynedd. Nawr, mae hynny ar yr un pryd ag y mae busnesau yn dioddef yn sgil effeithiau COVID ac mae'n amlwg y bydd yn cymryd cyfnod sylweddol o amser i wella o hynny. Rydym ni o'r farn nad oes unrhyw reswm o fath yn y byd i ychwanegu at ddinistr diofyn COVID gyda dinistr gwirfoddol o adael y cyfnod pontio heb gytundeb.
