English: Yes. We've set high targets for recycling in Wales, including plastic. All local authorities collect plastic for recycling, and businesses will be further encouraged to do so under the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 provisions, and in addition we are working with the industry to increase treatment capacity for plastics that are collected.
Welsh: Gwnaf. Rydym ni wedi ein gosod targedau uchel ar gyfer ailgylchu yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys plastig. Mae pob awdurdod lleol yn casglu plastig ar gyfer ei ailgylchu, a bydd busnesau yn cael eu hannog ymhellach i wneud hynny o dan ddarpariaethau Deddf yr Amgylchedd (Cymru) 2016, ac rydym ni hefyd yn gweithio gyda'r diwydiant i gynyddu capasiti triniaeth ar gyfer plastigau sy'n cael eu casglu.
English: You will be aware, First Minister, that, last week, China made an announcement that they'll no longer be importing plastic waste from the UK, and last year alone Wales exported over 4,000 tonnes. We know also that the amount of plastic produced and disposed of is growing every single year, and the majority of that is single-use plastic for wrapping up food. So, could we take this as an opportunity maybe, here in Wales, to do two things: one, to reduce the amount of single-use plastic in the very first place; and secondly, where that's not possible, that we can actually recycle our own plastic - and there are some very good examples of people doing that here in Wales - and grow those industries?
Welsh: Byddwch yn ymwybodol, Prif Weinidog, bod Tsieina, yr wythnos diwethaf, wedi gwneud cyhoeddiad na fyddant yn mewnforio gwastraff plastig o'r DU mwyach, ac allforiodd Cymru dros 4,000 o dunelli dim ond y llynedd. Gwyddom hefyd fod cyfanswm y plastig sy'n cael ei gynhyrchu a'i waredu yn tyfu bob un blwyddyn, ac mae'r rhan fwyaf o hwnnw'n blastig untro ar gyfer lapio bwyd. Felly, a allem ni fanteisio ar hwn fel cyfle efallai, yma yng Nghymru, i wneud dau beth: un, i leihau cyfanswm y bagiau plastig untro yn y lle cyntaf; ac yn ail, pan nad yw hynny'n bosibl, y gallwn ni ailgylchu plastig ein hunain - a cheir rhai enghreifftiau da iawn o bobl yn gwneud hynny yma yng Nghymru - a thyfu'r diwydiannau hynny?
English: Yes. There are two things to address here. Firstly, we've commissioned a study to assess the feasibility of an extended producer responsibility scheme for food and drink packaging, including disposable plastic. That will report in February. We're also considering a tax or levy on disposable plastic, but there are great opportunities here for Welsh businesses to look at how they can get involved in the plastics recycling industry. We are working, for example, with Jayplas to help it identify suitable sites to base plants in Wales, and Jayplas is the UK market leader in post-consumer recycling, including rigid plastics recycling.
Welsh: Gallwn. Mae dau beth i roi sylw iddyn nhw yma. Yn gyntaf, rydym ni wedi comisiynu astudiaeth i asesu ymarferoldeb cynllun cyfrifoldeb estynedig ar gynhyrchwyr dros ddeunydd pecynnu bwyd a diod, gan gynnwys plastig tafladwy. Byddwn yn cael adroddiad yr astudiaeth honno ym mis Chwefror. Rydym ni hefyd yn ystyried treth neu ardoll ar blastig tafladwy, ond ceir cyfleoedd gwych yma i fusnesau Cymru ystyried sut y gallant gymryd rhan yn y diwydiant ailgylchu plastigau. Rydym ni'n gweithio, er enghraifft, gyda Jayplas i'w helpu i nodi safleoedd addas i leoli gweithfeydd yng Nghymru, a Jayplas yw arweinydd marchnad y DU ym maes ailgylchu ôl-ddefnyddio, gan gynnwys ailgylchu plastigau anhyblyg.
English: I think there is universal agreement that China's decision will pose a big challenge to us with regard to recycling here in Wales, with regard to plastics. By commissioning a recycling technologies plant, which would turn end-of-life plastics into light oil, wax or low sulphur heavy fuel oil, we could create an ideal resource here for a wide range of industry applications, and this could, of course, be an opportunity for Wales. Would you agree that it's now time that we end the present system of burning plastics and sending our plastics to landfill, and to be the first country to treat its own plastic waste in a totally environmentally friendly way?
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod cytundeb cyffredinol y bydd penderfyniad Tsieina yn her fawr i ni o ran ailgylchu yma yng Nghymru, o ran plastigau. Trwy gomisiynu gwaith technolegau ailgylchu, a fyddai'n troi plastigau diwedd oes yn olew ysgafn, yn gwyr neu'n olew tanwydd trwm sylffwr isel, gallem greu adnodd delfrydol yma ar gyfer amrywiaeth eang o gymwysiadau diwydiant, a gallai hwn, wrth gwrs, fod yn gyfle i Gymru. A fyddech chi'n cytuno ei bod hi'n bryd nawr i ni roi terfyn ar y system bresennol o losgi plastigau ac anfon ein plastigau i safleoedd tirlenwi, ac i fod y wlad gyntaf i drin ei gwastraff plastig ei hun mewn ffordd gwbl ecogyfeillgar?
English: Yes, I do, and I think it's hugely important to work, as I mentioned earlier, with companies who have proven expertise in this area, to make sure that more plastic is recycled within Wales and more jobs created as a result, and, of course, to look to see how we can assist those new entrants to the market.
Welsh: Byddwn, mi fyddwn, ac mae'n hynod bwysig i weithio, fel y soniais yn gynharach, gyda chwmnïau sydd ag arbenigedd profedig yn y maes hwn, i wneud yn siŵr bod mwy o blastig yn cael ei ailgylchu yng Nghymru a mwy o swyddi yn cael eu creu o ganlyniad, ac, wrth gwrs, i edrych i weld sut y gallwn ni gynorthwyo'r newydd-ddyfodiaid hynny i'r farchnad.
English: Just as an example, the Llangattock litter group in Powys, in October last year, just in collecting litter in the village, found 266 coffee cups that had been thrown away. Now, you don't need a latte levy in Wales, because, as you said, there is a proposal for a levy on single-use plastics as one of the four possible new taxes that you're considering. When will we hear which tax you have decided upon, and may I encourage you, perhaps for the last time, to take advantage of the Plaid Cymru commitment, and that of some of your own backbenchers too, to ensure that the first tax is a levy on single-use plastics?
Welsh: Wel, jest fel enghraifft o faint y broblem, roedd grŵp sbwriel Llangatwg ym Mhowys wedi canfod ym mis Hydref y llynedd, wrth gasglu sbwriel jest yn ardal pentref Llangatwg, 266 o gwpanau coffi wedi'u taflu bant jest fel yna. Nid oes angen lefi latte yng Nghymru, achos mae gyda chi, fel rydych yn ei ddweud, gynllun posib ar gyfer lefi ar blastig un-defnydd fel un o'r pedair treth newydd rydych chi'n eu hystyried. Pryd, felly, cawn ni glywed pa dreth rydych chi wedi penderfynu arni, ac a gaf i eich annog chi, am y tro olaf efallai, i fanteisio ar ymrwymiad Plaid Cymru, a rhai o'ch meinciau cefn chi, rwy'n meddwl, i wneud yn siŵr mai'r dreth gyntaf yw lefi ar blastig un-defnydd?
English: Well, as I said, the first thing is to ensure that the report on manufacturers' responsibility with regard to food and drink packaging is published. The report will be published in February. Once it is published, that will assist us in making a decision on the way forward as regards any tax.
Welsh: Wel, fel y dywedais i, y peth cyntaf yw sicrhau bod yr adroddiad ynglŷn â chyfrifoldeb y cynhyrchwyr ynglŷn â phecynnau bwyd a diod yn cael ei gyhoeddi. Bydd hwnnw'n cael ei gyhoeddi ym mis Chwefror. Unwaith bydd hwnnw wedi cael ei gyhoeddi, bydd yn ein helpu ni i wneud penderfyniad ynglŷn â'r ffordd ymlaen gydag unrhyw dreth.
English: Our plans for economic development are set out in 'Prosperity for All' and the economic action plan. We continue to provide a wide range of support to businesses in Wales through Business Wales and the development bank, and we also provide infrastructure investment and actions that improve business conditions.
Welsh: Nodir ein cynlluniau ar gyfer datblygu economaidd yn 'Ffyniant i Bawb' a'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd. Rydym ni'n parhau i ddarparu amrywiaeth eang o gymorth i fusnesau yng Nghymru drwy Busnes Cymru a'r banc datblygu, ac rydym ni hefyd yn darparu buddsoddiad mewn seilwaith a chamau gweithredu sy'n gwella amodau busnes.
English: Thank you, First Minister. Happy new year. Yesterday was an historic day for Wales, with the nationalisation of the Severn bridges - something I'm sure you'll welcome - and a reduction in the tolls - a great gateway Wales project. However, this comes only a few weeks after the Welsh Government's call in, and refusal, of a planning application in Monmouth, in my constituency, for a hotel and spa development - another fantastic gateway Wales project. Now, the concern in the town about this decision has not diminished over the new year. The hotel was rejected on planning grounds due to technical advice note 15 considerations. Can your officials look again at either this decision, or, failing that, look again at the TAN 15 guidelines? Because it does seem to be that this has been overzealously applied, and I'm concerned that it is starting to stifle economic opportunities across Wales which otherwise would benefit the Welsh economy.
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Blwyddyn newydd dda. Roedd ddoe yn ddiwrnod hanesyddol i Gymru, wrth i bontydd Hafren gael eu gwladoli - rhywbeth yr wyf i'n siŵr y byddwch chi yn ei groesawu - a gostyngiad i'r tollau - prosiect gwych porth Cymru. Fodd bynnag, daw hyn dim ond ychydig wythnosau ar ôl i Lywodraeth Cymru alw i mewn, a gwrthod, cais cynllunio yn Nhrefynwy, yn fy etholaeth i, ar gyfer datblygiad gwesty a spa - prosiect porth Cymru ardderchog arall. Nawr, nid yw'r pryder yn y dref am y penderfyniad hwn wedi lleihau dros y flwyddyn newydd. Gwrthodwyd y gwesty ar sail cynllunio oherwydd ystyriaethau nodyn cyngor technegol 15. A all eich swyddogion edrych eto ar y penderfyniad hwn, neu, os nad yw hynny'n bosibl, edrych eto ar ganllawiau TAN 15? Oherwydd mae'n ymddangos bod hwn wedi cael ei gymhwyso'n rhy eiddgar, ac rwy'n bryderus ei fod yn dechrau llesteirio cyfleoedd economaidd ledled Cymru a fyddai o fudd i economi Cymru fel arall.
English: Well, TAN 15, the Minister tells me, is being looked at. I can't comment, of course, on an individual planning application. He mentions the Severn tolls, but let's not get too overexcited about this. Of course, I very much welcome the return of the Severn bridges to public ownership. But what the UK Government have actually done is to remove the VAT, which they cannot legally charge anyway, on the tolls because they're coming back into public ownership. So, yes, as far as the public are concerned, of course it's a reduction in the tolls, but let's not pretend this is some great concession by the UK Government, because they can't actually charge the 20 per cent in the first place. What would be far better is that they got rid of the tolls altogether.
Welsh: Wel, mae TAN 15, mae'r Gweinidog yn fy hysbysu, yn cael ei ystyried. Ni allaf wneud sylw, wrth gwrs, ar gais cynllunio unigol. Mae'n crybwyll tollau Hafren, ond gadewch i ni beidio â gorgynhyrfu'n ormodol am hyn. Wrth gwrs, rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y ffaith fod pontydd Hafren yn dychwelyd i berchnogaeth gyhoeddus. Ond yr hyn y mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi ei wneud mewn gwirionedd yw dileu'r TAW, na allant ei chodi'n gyfreithlon beth bynnag, ar y tollau gan eu bod nhw'n dod yn ôl i berchnogaeth gyhoeddus. Felly, ydy, cyn belled ag y mae'r cyhoedd yn y cwestiwn, mae'n ostyngiad i'r tollau wrth gwrs, ond gadewch i ni beidio ag esgus bod hwn yn rhyw gonsesiwn mawr gan Lywodraeth y DU, gan na allant godi'r 20 y cant yn y lle cyntaf mewn gwirionedd. Yr hyn a fyddai'n llawer gwell yw pe byddent yn cael gwared ar y tollau yn gyfan gwbl.
English: First Minister, can I welcome very much the Welsh Government's financial support for E-Cycle in my constituency, which is the former Remploy plant that the Welsh Government helped survive and transform into e-cycling, and in fact the further package of funding that enables it to continue to expand and to develop, creating not only business, but obviously jobs within the Valleys areas? I wonder, First Minister, whether you could actually comment on the company's potential for growth, the actual details of the support that is actually being given to that company, and particularly the fact that it is an ethical company, employing disabled workers, many of whom are from my constituency - it's based in my constituency. It's a real example of what the Welsh Government is doing to actually support this type of business, with real potential for expansion in the Valleys.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, a gaf i groesawu'n fawr iawn cymorth ariannol Llywodraeth Cymru i E-Cycle yn fy etholaeth i, sef hen ffatri Remploy a helpwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i oroesi a gweddnewid i e-feicio, ac yn wir y pecyn ychwanegol o gyllid sy'n ei alluogi i barhau i ehangu ac i ddatblygu, gan greu busnes yn ogystal â swyddi, yn amlwg, yn ardaloedd y Cymoedd? Tybed, Prif Weinidog, a allech chi wneud sylw ar botensial y cwmni i dyfu, union fanylion y cymorth sy'n cael ei roi i'r cwmni hwnnw, ac yn enwedig y ffaith ei fod yn gwmni moesegol, sy'n cyflogi gweithwyr anabl, y mae llawer ohonynt o fy etholaeth i - mae wedi ei leoli yn fy etholaeth i. Mae'n enghraifft wirioneddol o'r hyn y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud mewn gwirionedd i gefnogi'r math hwn o fusnes, sydd â photensial gwirioneddol i ehangu yn y Cymoedd.
English: Well, it's true to say, of course, that E-Cycle have been awarded support, and I'm pleased we are providing support to recycle. We will continue to assist the company in identifying new opportunities for business growth. Both the recently published economic action plan and the Valleys taskforce delivery plan recognise the impact of digital technology, and set out our proposals to futureproof the Welsh economy.
Welsh: Wel, mae'n wir i ddweud, wrth gwrs, y dyfarnwyd cymorth i E-Cycle, ac rwy'n falch ein bod ni'n darparu cymorth i ailgylchu. Byddwn yn parhau i gynorthwyo'r cwmni i nodi cyfleoedd newydd ar gyfer twf busnes. Mae'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar a chynllun cyflawni tasglu'r Cymoedd yn cydnabod effaith technoleg ddigidol, ac yn cyflwyno ein cynigion i ddiogelu economi Cymru ar gyfer y dyfodol.
English: Steffan Lewis. [Applause.]
Welsh: Steffan Lewis. [Cymeradwyaeth.]
English: I very much welcome yesterday's announcement by the Welsh Government to create a £50 million Brexit preparedness fund, something that will be essential for enterprise support in the south-east and across the country. And I very much hope that the Welsh Government has looked at the Irish models for support, as we face separation from the European Union and the great economic uncertainty that is bound to entail as Theresa May continues her Brexit shambles. What assurances can the First Minister give enterprises across the country, and particularly in the south-east, that this will be an accessible, straightforward fund that they will find simple to engage with, and that it will be targeted and that it can deliver on its very good intentions indeed?
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y cyhoeddiad ddoe gan Lywodraeth Cymru i greu cronfa parodrwydd ar gyfer Brexit o £50 miliwn, rhywbeth a fydd yn hanfodol ar gyfer cefnogi mentrau yn y de-ddwyrain a ledled y wlad. Ac rwy'n mawr obeithio bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi edrych ar fodelau Iwerddon ar gyfer cymorth, wrth i ni wynebu gwahaniad oddi wrth yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a'r ansicrwydd economaidd mawr sy'n sicr o ddeillio o hynny wrth i Theresa May barhau ei thraed moch Brexit. Pa sicrwydd all y Prif Weinidog eu roi i fentrau ledled y wlad, ac yn y de-ddwyrain yn arbennig, y bydd hon yn gronfa hygyrch, syml a fydd yn hawdd iddynt ymgysylltu â hi, ac y bydd yn cael ei thargedu ac y gall gyflawni ei bwriadau gwirioneddol dda?
English: Can I say what a pleasure it is to see the Member here? And he will hear from the reception that he has received the goodwill of this Chamber, and the friendship that he enjoys amongst many in this Chamber, across parties. In relation to his question, the announcement yesterday was an announcement that indicates to businesses, to universities and others that we are putting money aside in order to help them to deal with the consequences of Brexit. What we don't know, of course, is what Brexit will look like, and so much of the detail has yet to be looked at. But we will work with all those affected to put in place an effective and simple scheme, to ensure that the scheme provides the support that it's intended to provide.
Welsh: A gaf i ddweud pa mor braf yw gweld yr Aelod yma? A bydd yn clywed o'r croeso y mae wedi ei dderbyn ewyllys da y Siambr hon, a'r cyfeillgarwch y mae'n ei fwynhau ymhlith llawer yn y Siambr hon, ar draws y pleidiau. O ran ei gwestiwn, roedd y cyhoeddiad ddoe yn gyhoeddiad sy'n dangos i fusnesau, prifysgolion ac eraill ein bod ni'n rhoi arian o'r neilltu i'w helpu i ymdrin â chanlyniadau Brexit. Yr hyn nad ydym yn ei wybod, wrth gwrs, yw sut y bydd Brexit yn edrych, ac mae cymaint o'r manylion heb gael eu hystyried hyd yn hyn. Ond byddwn yn gweithio gyda phawb sy'n cael eu heffeithio ac yn rhoi cynllun syml ac effeithiol ar waith, i sicrhau bod y cynllun yn darparu'r cymorth y bwriedir iddo ei ddarparu.
English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Could I also extend a welcome to the new Member here today, and endorse the First Minister's comments about how welcome it is to see Steffan back in the Chamber here, and wish him well in the weeks and months ahead? And I'd also offer my congratulations to David Melding, who was recognised in the new year's honours list - a very worthy contribution to Welsh democracy that has been recognised by the new year's honours list that was put out this year. First Minister, we've all seen the pressures that have hit the Welsh NHS over the last couple of weeks, especially those specific winter pressures. Were they predictable and were they preventable?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. A gaf innau hefyd groesawu'r Aelod newydd yma heddiw, ac ategu sylwadau'r Prif Weinidog ynghylch pa mor braf yw gweld Steffan yn ôl yn y Siambr hon, a dymuno'n dda iddo yn yr wythnosau a'r misoedd i ddod? Ac rwyf hefyd yn cynnig fy llongyfarchiadau i David Melding, a gydnabuwyd yn rhestr anrhydeddau'r flwyddyn newydd - cyfraniad teilwng iawn i ddemocratiaeth Cymru sydd wedi cael ei gydnabod gan y rhestr anrhydeddau'r flwyddyn newydd a gyhoeddwyd eleni. Prif Weinidog, rydym ni i gyd wedi gweld y pwysau sydd wedi taro GIG Cymru dros y pythefnos diwethaf, a'r pwysau gaeaf penodol hwnnw yn arbennig. A oedd modd eu rhagweld ac a oedd modd eu hatal?
English: Well, first of all, I pay tribute to all our staff in all settings - the GPs, the paramedics, hospitals and social care - for their remarkable efforts in responding to these pressures. The winter is always a very challenging period. There will always be times when demand places our services under great pressure, needing local escalation. There was rigorous preparation in place, but the NHS in Wales has been under considerable pressure consistent with that being reported in other parts of the UK. There was a professional response, more resources were made available and the situation is now stabilising.
Welsh: Wel, yn gyntaf oll, hoffwn dalu teyrnged i'n holl staff ym mhob lleoliad - y meddygon teulu, y parafeddygon, yr ysbytai a gofal cymdeithasol - am eu hymdrechion anhygoel wrth ymateb i'r pwysau hwn. Mae'r gaeaf yn gyfnod anodd iawn bob amser. Bydd adegau bob amser pan fo'r galw yn rhoi ein gwasanaethau o dan bwysau mawr, sy'n golygu bod angen dwysau lleol. Roedd paratoadau trylwyr wedi eu gwneud, ond mae'r NHS yng Nghymru wedi bod o dan gryn bwysau yn gyson â'r hyn sy'n cael ei adrodd mewn rhannau eraill o'r DU. Cafwyd ymateb proffesiynol, rhoddwyd mwy o adnoddau ar gael ac mae'r sefyllfa yn sefydlogi erbyn hyn.
English: Thank you, First Minister, for that answer. I do recognise that there are pressures across the whole of the United Kingdom as we've all seen in the news. My first question was were they predictable and were they preventable, some of the pressures unique to Wales, such as no GP out-of-hours service, as I'm led to believe, here in Cardiff over the festive period. There were chronic waiting times over and above what we've seen in other parts of the NHS in the United Kingdom. In Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, for example, less than 50 per cent of patients who presented at A&E were seen within the Government's own four-hour wait time, and we already knew that wait times were excessive here in Wales as opposed to other parts of the United Kingdom. You and I can have a political ding-dong about this and it won't really advance the argument that much further. What people want to hear is what solutions the Government will be putting into place to stop some of these unique events that have been happening in Wales - that are specific to Wales - such as no out-of-hours provision whatsoever here in the capital city of Cardiff and, above all, those really long waits in A&Es, across A&E departments in Wales, as I highlighted to you? What are you doing?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog, am yr ateb yna. Rwyf yn cydnabod bod pwysau ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig gyfan fel yr ydym ni i gyd wedi ei weld ar y newyddion. Fy nghwestiwn cyntaf oedd a oedd modd eu rhagweld ac a oedd modd eu hatal, rhai o'r pwysau hynny a oedd yn unigryw i Gymru, fel dim gwasanaeth meddyg teulu y tu allan i oriau, fel yr wyf yn cael fy arwain i gredu, yma yng Nghaerdydd dros gyfnod yr ŵyl. Roedd amseroedd aros cronig yn fwy na'r hyn a welsom mewn rhannau eraill o'r GIG yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, er enghraifft, gwelwyd llai na 50 y cant o gleifion a aeth i adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys o fewn amser aros y Llywodraeth ei hun o bedair awr, ac roeddem ni eisoes yn gwybod bod amseroedd aros yn ormodol yma yng Nghymru o'u cymharu â rhannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig. Gallwch chi a minnau gael dadl wleidyddol am hyn ac ni fydd wir yn datblygu fawr mwy ar y ddadl. Yr hyn y mae pobl eisiau ei glywed yw pa atebion y bydd y Llywodraeth yn eu rhoi ar waith i atal rhai o'r digwyddiadau unigryw hyn sydd wedi bod yn digwydd yng Nghymru - sydd yn benodol i Gymru - fel dim darpariaeth y tu allan i oriau o gwbl yma ym mhrifddinas Caerdydd ac, yn anad dim, y cyfnodau aros gwirioneddol hir hynny mewn adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys, adrannau damweiniau ac achosion brys yng Nghymru, fel yr amlygais i chi? Beth ydych chi'n ei wneud?
