English: Thank you, Llywydd, am I'm very pleased to see you chairing this particular statement. May I start by telling the Cabinet Secretary that we're very pleased that she concluded her statement with the recognition of the detrimental impact that this disease has on farmers and the industry more generally? I very much hope that the Government will continue to acknowledge and recognise that, because this disease does cast a very long and dark shadow over large areas of Wales, including many of those areas that I represent as a regional Member for Mid and West Wales. Although many people will question aspects of today's statement, Plaid Cymru certainly wants to work with much of what's contained here in order to see that there's an approach to eradication of this disease that takes fully into account real animal welfare issues, and that is the herds as well as the badgers. This disease exists in those animals that we are involved in their husbandry, and is also in the wildlife reservoir, and we need to eradicate it from both of those sectors. And in that context, I welcome what the Cabinet Secretary has had to say this afternoon. I just have a few questions, because I think that most have already been asked and answered, but there are a few aspects that I would like a little more detail on. The Cabinet Secretary will be aware that there is a strong recommendation from the committee that she responded to this morning in terms of securing from the Westminster Government that the TB status of Wales isn't going to be any sort of barrier in trade negotiations with the rest of the European Union as we leave the union. The Cabinet Secretary has stated positively that she will do that, but, of course, with a new Government in place, I just wanted to ensure that that is done as a matter of urgency, and that these issues are raised with the Government negotiating trade on our behalf. I'd like to hear a little more about how the Cabinet Secretary intends to report back to us as an Assembly or to the committee responsible for this, namely the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee, particularly in relation to those new aspects in this report, and that is tackling the issue of badgers on specific farms where there are breakdowns that have been in existence over a long period of time, 18 months and more, and the Cabinet Secretary made reference to that in the statement. She's pledged already, in response to the committee, to return in a year's time, but I would like to see that becoming some sort of consistent report-back system, every six months or every year, so that we can monitor what is being done. And just in the context of tackling the badger population where there is a link between the existence of badgers on a farm and the recurrent transmission of that disease, who's going to establish that link? We can get people such as ecologists to go to farms and we can actually find where the badger population is in relation to the pasture and so on, but who's going to actually make that decision that there is that link? And then, of course, there are some of the outcomes that would emerge from that, including the culling of badgers, where appropriate. Can I just ask on risk-based trading? I think there was an element of sadness for the Cabinet Secretary that more of the industry hasn't grasped this opportunity to make more information known in markets and so on and so forth, and although she doesn't intend to make that compulsory at present, what steps will she take during the next year or two to put her risk-based trading system on firmer foundations in Wales, so that we can monitor whether that is making a difference in ensuring the eradication of the disease regionally, at least, in parts of Wales? And can I ask whether she intends to retain the cap? We have discussed the cap, and the impact on breeding particularly, but does she intend to keep the cap under review in case there are unexpected consequences emerging from that? The final question I have - . I genuinely welcome the fact that, in responding to the consultation, it appears to me that the Cabinet Secretary has shifted from a system, for example, that is six months for everyone in the intensive action area to a system that is more based on risk. But, in light of that, of course, you will have to be more certain of the risk level - you'll need to be aware which farms and which herds are truly at risk and which are in a different situation. That does raise a question on resourcing and staffing, and how that's going to be achieved, and I would like to hear a little more from the Cabinet Secretary as to how she can ensure that the risk standards are contained within the new plan.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd, ac rwy'n falch iawn gweld eich bod chi yn y gadair ar gyfer y datganiad arbennig hwn. A gaf i ddechrau drwy ddweud wrth yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet ein bod ni'n falch ei bod hi wedi bennu ei datganiad gyda chydnabyddiaeth o'r effaith andwyol mae'r clwyf yma'n cael ar ffermwyr ac ar y diwydiant yn gyffredinol? Rwy'n mawr obeithio y bydd y Llywodraeth yn dal i barhau i gydnabod hynny, achos mae'r clwyf yma yn taflu cysgod hir a thywyll dros ardaloedd eang o Gymru, gan gynnwys nifer o ardaloedd rwyf i'n eu cynrychioli fel Aelod rhanbarth y canolbarth a'r gorllewin. Rwy'n credu er y bydd nifer yn cwestiynu agweddau ar y datganiad heddiw, mae Plaid Cymru yn sicr yn mynd i yn mo'yn gweithio gyda'r graen sydd yma i lwyddo i weld bod yna ddynesiad at waredu'r clwyf yma sydd yn cymryd yn llwyr i ystyriaeth lles anifeiliaid go iawn, sef lles anifeiliaid y buchesi yn ogystal â moch daear. Mae'r clwyf yma i gael mewn anifeiliaid rydym ni yn edrych ar eu hôl ac anifeiliaid gwyllt, ac mae angen edrych i gael gwared ar y clwyf o'r ddau sector. Ac yn y cyd-destun yna, rwy'n croesawu beth sydd gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet i'w ddweud. Jest ychydig o gwestiynau sydd gen i, achos rwy'n meddwl bod y rhan fwyaf wedi cael eu holi ac wedi cael eu hateb eisoes, ond mae yna ambell i agwedd y byddwn i'n licio clywed ychydig mwy amdanyn nhw. Fe fydd yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yn gwybod bod argymhelliad cryf gan y pwyllgor y mae hi wedi ateb iddyn nhw'r bore yma parthed sicrhau gan Lywodraeth San Steffan fod statws TB Cymru ddim yn mynd i fod yn unrhyw fath o rwystr mewn trafodaethau masnachu gyda gweddill yr Undeb Ewropeaidd wrth inni ymadael â'r undeb. Mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi dweud yn gadarnhaol y bydd hi yn gwneud hynny, ond, wrth gwrs, gyda'r Llywodraeth newydd nawr, rwyf jest eisiau sicrhau bod hynny'n cael ei wneud fel mater o frys a bod y materion yma yn cael eu gwyntyllu gyda'r Llywodraeth sydd yn negodi masnach ar ein rhan ni. Hoffwn i glywed ychydig mwy am sut y bydd yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yn bwriadu adrodd nôl i ni fel Cynulliad neu i'r pwyllgor sy'n gyfrifol, y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gweledig, parthed yn arbennig yr agweddau newydd yn yr adroddiad yma, sef mynd i'r afael â moch daear ar ffermydd penodol lle mae yna dorri i lawr gyda'r haint wedi digwydd dros gyfnod hir, dros 18 mis a mwy, fel roedd yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yn cyfeirio. Mae hi wedi addo eisoes, wrth ymateb i'r pwyllgor, i ddod yn ôl mewn blwyddyn, ond fe fyddwn i'n licio gweld hynny'n dod yn rhyw fath o system adrodd nôl cyson, pob chwe mis neu bob blwyddyn, fel ein bod ni'n gallu monitro'r hyn sy'n cael ei wneud. A jest yn y cyd-destun o fynd i'r afael â moch daear lle mae yna gyswllt rhwng bodolaeth moch daear ar fferm a'r ffaith bod yr haint yn cael ei drosglwyddo dro ar ôl tro, pwy sy'n mynd i benderfynu bod y cyswllt yna'n bodoli? Mae modd mynd i fferm, mae modd cael ecolegwyr yna i gerdded y fferm, mae modd canfod lle mae'r moch daear a lle maen nhw mewn perthynas â'r borfa ac ati, ond pwy sydd yn y pen draw yn penderfynu, 'Ie, mae yna gyswllt fan hyn'? Pwy sy'n mynd i gymryd y penderfyniad yna? Ac wedyn, wrth gwrs, mae rhai o'r penderfyniadau sy'n deillio yn sgil hynny, gan gynnwys difa'r moch daear lle mae'n briodol. A gaf i jest ofyn am fasnachu ar sail risg? Rwy'n credu bod yna rhyw dinc o dristwch gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet nad yw mwy o'r diwydiant wedi cydio yn y cyfle yma i wneud mwy o wybodaeth yn hysbys mewn marchnadoedd ac ati, ac er nad yw hi'n bwriadu gwneud hynny yn orfodol ar hyn o bryd, pa gamau fydd hi'n cymryd yn ystod y flwyddyn neu ddwy nesaf i osod system masnachu ar sail risg ar seiliau mwy cadarn yng Nghymru, fel ein bod ni'n gallu monitro hefyd a ydy hynny'n gwneud gwahaniaeth wrth sicrhau bod y clwyf yn diflannu yn rhanbarthol, o leiaf, mewn rhannau o Gymru? Ac a gaf i ofyn a ydy hi'n bwriadu cadw'r cap? Rydym wedi trafod y cap a'r effaith ar fridio yn arbennig, ond a ydy hi'n bwriadu cadw'r cap o dan adolygiad, rhag ofn bod sgileffeithiau annisgwyl yn deillio o hynny? Y cwestiwn olaf sydd gen i - . Rwy'n croesawu yn gyffredinol y ffaith ei bod, wrth ymateb i'r ymgynghoriad, yn ymddangos i mi fod yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi symud o system, er enghraifft, sy'n chwe mis i bawb yn yr ardal ddwys ac ati i system sy'n fwy seiliedig ar risg. Ond, yn sgil hynny, wrth gwrs, bydd yn rhaid bod yn fwy sicr o'r risg - hynny yw, mae'n rhaid bod yn sicr pa ffermydd a pha fuchesi sydd wir o dan risg a pha rai sydd mewn sefyllfa wahanol. Mae hynny yn gofyn cwestiwn ynglŷn ag adnoddau a staff, a sut mae hynny'n cael ei wneud, a byddwn yn hoffi clywed bach yn fwy gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet o ran sut y bydd hi'n gallu gwneud yn siŵr bod y safonau gwarantu'r risg yma ynghlwm wrth y cynllun newydd.
