English: Firstly, I thank the Member for, I think, the very important points and very thoughtful points that he has made. Of course, he's absolutely correct about the points that are raised, actually, in the draft principles with regard to human rights. This code - although it has considerable similarities to the Crown Prosecution Service code, we did decide that because of the growth of responsibilities, and the growth of prosecution responsibilities in particular, we did need to have a Welsh code that actually reflected, I think, the nuances and some of the emphases particularly arising from Welsh legislation. So, as well as that particular point, there's the point that we made about the particular issues of impact on the environment, because many of our powers relate to things like the environment, food, agriculture and so on. But he's absolutely right also, of course, that those powers are extending into a whole range of other areas as well, and we need to ensure that not only is the code effective but that the way in which it is applied is robust. I think the point that the Member was beginning to get towards was the issue as to whether at some stage in the future there will need to be a Welsh prosecution service as opposed to the existing arrangements. That isn't something that is intended at the moment, but it is not off the radar - it's one of those things that, particularly in the current climate, as more powers come, as we increase legislation and as the Welsh criminal code effectively becomes more significant, we have to have considerable regard to. Of course, all of the points about the quality of evidence, the robustness of the evidence and the way in which we define the public interest, which is set out in detail in the guide, are, indeed, very important. I think the other point he's made is that there are other bodies, of course, within Wales. Local authorities, as he's mentioned, are traditionally prosecuting bodies - very similar powers in respect to the Health and Safety Executive in areas within their jurisdiction. Of course, although they have their own code, I think we would hope, over a period of time, that the reliance on the Welsh code will become the basis for that. But there is obviously a lot happening - a lot in flux. I think he mentioned also the issue of how we're going to assess the increase. I think what we've started doing is to look at the numbers of cases we've really had over the past number of years: how they're increasing and where they might increase, and what the challenges are for the enforcement officers and the issues there with the equipment they need, their own security and so on within certain circumstances - that's something that I was very aware of when I went to see some of the environmental protection officers in west Wales, where they raised issues of needing the body cameras and so on, which would be of considerable assistance and I understand are now being implemented. So, all of those are under review. It is something that I have been focusing my attention on, with the points in mind that the Member has made. It will be my intention in due course to make further statements on the record on the numbers of prosecutions, where they're taking place, so that there is the greatest possible transparency.
Welsh: Yn gyntaf, diolch i'r Aelod am y pwyntiau pwysig ac ystyriol iawn a wnaeth yn fy marn i. Wrth gwrs, mae'n hollol gywir am y pwyntiau sy'n codi, mewn gwirionedd, yn yr egwyddorion drafft mewn perthynas â hawliau dynol. Mae'r cod - er bod tebygrwydd sylweddol rhyngddo a chod Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron, oherwydd y cynnydd yn y cyfrifoldebau, a'r cynnydd yn y cyfrifoldebau erlyn yn arbennig, penderfynasom fod arnom angen cod Cymreig a oedd yn adlewyrchu naws a pheth o'r pwyslais arbennig, rwy'n meddwl, sy'n deillio o ddeddfwriaeth Gymreig mewn gwirionedd. Felly, yn ogystal â'r pwynt penodol hwnnw, mae'r pwynt a wnaethom am faterion penodol effaith ar yr amgylchedd, gan fod llawer o'n pwerau'n ymwneud â phethau fel yr amgylchedd, bwyd, amaethyddiaeth ac yn y blaen. Ond mae'n hollol gywir hefyd, wrth gwrs, fod y pwerau hynny'n ymestyn i ystod eang o feysydd eraill hefyd, ac mae angen inni sicrhau nid yn unig fod y cod yn effeithiol ond bod y ffordd y mae'n cael ei gymhwyso yn gadarn. Rwy'n meddwl mai'r pwynt yr oedd yr Aelod yn dechrau ei gyrraedd oedd y mater ynglŷn ag a fydd angen gwasanaeth erlyn Cymreig, rywbryd yn y dyfodol, yn hytrach na'r trefniadau presennol. Nid yw hynny'n fwriad ar hyn o bryd, ond nid oes sicrwydd llwyr na fydd yn digwydd - mae'n un o'r pethau sy'n rhaid i ni roi cryn sylw iddo, yn enwedig yn yr hinsawdd bresennol, wrth i fwy o bwerau ddod, wrth i ni gynyddu deddfwriaeth ac wrth i god troseddol Cymru i bob pwrpas ddod yn fwy arwyddocaol. Wrth gwrs, mae'r holl bwyntiau am ansawdd y dystiolaeth, cadernid y dystiolaeth a'r modd y diffiniwn les y cyhoedd, a nodir yn fanwl yn y canllawiau, yn bwysig iawn yn wir. Rwy'n meddwl mai'r pwynt arall a wnaeth yw bod yna gyrff eraill yng Nghymru wrth gwrs. Mae awdurdodau lleol, fel y crybwyllodd, yn gyrff erlyn yn draddodiadol - pwerau tebyg iawn mewn perthynas â'r Awdurdod Gweithredol Iechyd a Diogelwch yn ardaloedd eu hawdurdodaeth. Wrth gwrs, er bod ganddynt eu cod eu hunain, rwy'n meddwl y byddem yn gobeithio, dros gyfnod o amser, y bydd y ddibyniaeth ar god Cymru yn dod yn sail i hynny. Ond mae'n amlwg fod llawer yn digwydd - llawer yn y pair. Rwy'n credu ei fod hefyd wedi crybwyll y mater ynglŷn â sut rydym yn mynd i asesu'r cynnydd. Rwy'n credu mai'r hyn rydym wedi dechrau ei wneud yw edrych ar niferoedd yr achosion rydym wedi'u cael mewn gwirionedd dros y nifer o flynyddoedd diwethaf: sut y maent yn cynyddu a lle y gallent gynyddu, a beth yw'r heriau i'r swyddogion gorfodi a'r materion sy'n codi yn hynny o beth o ran yr offer sydd ei angen arnynt, eu diogelwch eu hunain ac yn y blaen mewn rhai amgylchiadau - mae hynny'n rhywbeth roeddwn yn ymwybodol iawn ohono pan euthum i weld rhai o swyddogion diogelu'r amgylchedd yng ngorllewin Cymru, lle roeddent yn sôn am bethau fel yr angen am gamerâu corff ac yn y blaen, a fyddai o gymorth sylweddol ac rwy'n deall bod hynny'n cael ei weithredu bellach. Felly, mae'r rhain oll yn cael eu hadolygu. Mae'n rhywbeth rwyf wedi bod yn canolbwyntio fy sylw arno, gan gadw'r pwyntiau a wnaeth yr Aelod mewn cof. Fy mwriad maes o law yw cofnodi datganiadau pellach ar nifer yr erlyniadau, lle maent yn digwydd, er mwyn sicrhau'r tryloywder mwyaf posibl.
