English: Any other issues to raise? Okay, that brings us to the end of item 2.
Welsh: Unrhyw fater arall? Dyna ni. Dyna ddiwedd eitem 2.
English: We move on to item 3, and a motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of this meeting so that we can discuss written evidence. Everyone content? Everyone is content and agreed. So, we'll go into private session.
Welsh: Felly, fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen i eitem 3, a chynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (vi) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod hwn er mwyn inni ymdrin â thystiolaeth ysgrifenedig. Pawb yn hapus? Pawb yn gytûn. Diolch yn fawr. Felly, fe awn ni i mewn i breifat.
English: I call the Members to order.
Welsh: Galwaf yr Aelodau i drefn.
English: Before I call the first item on the agenda, I wish to inform the Assembly that I have received a letter from four Members notifying me of their wish to form a group in accordance with Standing Order 1.3. I am considering this issue, in accordance with my duty under the Standing Orders, and I will notify the Assembly of my conclusion in due course. Point of order, Alun Davies.
Welsh: Cyn i mi alw'r eitem gyntaf ar yr agenda, dwi'n dymuno hysbysu'r Cynulliad fy mod i wedi derbyn llythyr gan bedwar o Aelodau yn fy hysbysu o'u dymuniad i ffurfio grŵp yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 1.3. Rwy'n ystyried y mater, yn unol â fy nyletswydd o dan y Rheolau Sefydlog, ac fe fyddaf i'n hysbysu'r Cynulliad ar fy nghasgliadau yn y man. Pwynt o drefn, Alun Davies.
English: Further to that statement, which I appreciate, Presiding Officer, I would also like to ask you to consider these matters under Standing Order 1.4, where you are given a level of discretion. There are Members on all sides of this Chamber who are deeply disturbed at the undermining of our democracy by events today. These chancers did not stand for election under any party label they are using today. They are using this in order to access public resources and public money without standing for election or seeking the consent of anybody in any constituency or region in any part of Wales. None of them have had their names on a ballot paper. It undermines the democracy we were celebrating only last week. Members on all sides of the Chamber have very deep reservations and concerns over this matter, of which I know you are aware, Presiding Officer, and I hope that you will be able to use some discretion available to you to consider these matters over a period of time that will allow Members to consider their own thoughts and their own responses to this announcement.
Welsh: Yn ychwanegol at y datganiad hwnnw, datganiad rwy'n ei werthfawrogi, Lywydd, hoffwn ofyn ichi hefyd ystyried y materion hyn o dan Reol Sefydlog 1.4, lle rhoddir lefel o ddisgresiwn ichi. Mae Aelodau ar bob ochr i'r Siambr hon yn pryderu'n arw fod digwyddiadau heddiw yn tanseilio ein democratiaeth. Ni wnaeth y mentrwyr hyn sefyll etholiad o dan unrhyw label plaid y maent yn ei ddefnyddio heddiw. Maent yn defnyddio hyn er mwyn cael gafael ar adnoddau cyhoeddus ac arian cyhoeddus heb sefyll etholiad na cheisio caniatâd unrhyw un mewn unrhyw etholaeth neu ranbarth mewn unrhyw ran o Gymru. Nid oes enw yr un ohonynt wedi bod ar bapur pleidleisio. Mae'n tanseilio'r ddemocratiaeth y buom yn ei dathlu yr wythnos diwethaf. Mae gan Aelodau ar bob ochr i'r Siambr amheuon a phryderon difrifol iawn ynghylch y mater hwn, a gwn eich bod yn ymwybodol ohonynt, Lywydd, a gobeithiaf y gallwch ddefnyddio rhywfaint o'r disgresiwn sydd ar gael i chi i ystyried y materion hyn dros gyfnod o amser a fydd yn caniatáu i'r Aelodau ystyried eu meddyliau eu hunain a'u hymatebion eu hunain i'r cyhoeddiad hwn.
English: I'm grateful to the Member for his advice at all times, and I can assure the Member and other Members that I am most aware of every element of the Standing Orders that will advise and guide me in coming to conclusions on these issues. Also before the first item of business this afternoon, I wish to inform the Assembly that the Renting homes (Fees, etc.) (Wales) Bill, in accordance with Standing Order 26.75, was given Royal Assent today.
Welsh: Dwi'n ddiolchgar i'r Aelod am ei gyngor ar bob achlysur, a gallaf sicrhau'r Aelod ac Aelodau eraill y byddaf i'n ymwybodol iawn o bob elfen o'r Rheolau Sefydlog sydd yn mynd i roi cyngor i mi ac arweiniad i mi wrth ddod i gasgliadau ar y materion yma. Hefyd cyn yr eitem gyntaf o fusnes y prynhawn yma, dwi angen hysbysu'r Cynulliad fod y Bil Rhentu Cartrefi (Ffioedd, etc.) (Cymru), yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 26.75, wedi cael Cydsyniad Brenhinol heddiw.
English: This now brings us to the questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, and the first question is from Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Sydd nawr yn dod â ni at y cwestiynau i Weindiog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Janet Finch-Saunders
English: Thank you. Volatility is a feature of the farming sector, and businesses need to be resilient to deal with price and cost fluctuations. Welsh Government continues to support and equip farming businesses with tools to improve their understanding and control their cost of production.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae anwadalrwydd yn nodwedd o'r sector ffermio, ac mae angen i fusnesau fod yn wydn er mwyn ymdopi ag amrywiadau prisiau a chostau. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i gefnogi ac arfogi busnesau fferm i wella eu dealltwriaeth a rheoli eu costau cynhyrchu.
English: Thank you. The recently published forecasts of farm incomes in Wales provides very worrying information about the sector. It reports that the average farm business income for the combined all-farm types is expected to decrease by 15 per cent to £29,500 per farm from the previous year. The situation is even more serious for dairy farmers, who are forecasted - sorry, I need my specs - a 23 per cent fall, and lowland cattle and sheep farmers, who are expected to have an average income of just £17,000. As John Davies, National Farmers Union Cymru president stated, the forecasts show the volatility all farm types in Wales are subjected to and reinforce the need for future agricultural policy in Wales to include a central volatility stability component. Will you consider introducing an agricultural volatility grant that farmers can turn to for support when market changes render continued business operation and food production financially perilous? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae'r rhagolygon a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar o incwm ffermydd yng Nghymru yn darparu gwybodaeth sy'n peri cryn bryder ynghylch y sector. Mae'n dweud y bydd disgwyl i incwm cyfartalog busnesau fferm o bob math yn gyfunol ostwng 15 y cant i £29,500 y fferm o gymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol. Mae'r sefyllfa hyd yn oed yn fwy difrifol i ffermwyr llaeth, gan y rhagwelir - mae'n ddrwg gennyf, rwyf angen fy sbectol - y byddant yn wynebu gostyngiad o 23 y cant, a ffermwyr gwartheg a defaid yr iseldir, y disgwylir y bydd eu hincwm cyfartalog yn £17,000 yn unig. Fel y dywedodd John Davies, llywydd Undeb Cenedlaethol Amaethwyr Cymru, mae'r rhagolygon yn dangos yr anwadalrwydd sy'n wynebu pob math o fferm yng Nghymru ac yn atgyfnerthu'r angen i bolisi amaethyddol yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol gynnwys elfen ganolog o sefydlogrwydd rhag anwadalrwydd. A wnewch chi ystyried cyflwyno grant anwadalrwydd amaethyddol y gall ffermwyr droi ato am gymorth pan fydd newidiadau yn y farchnad yn golygu bod parhau i weithredu busnesau a chynhyrchu bwyd yn beryglus yn ariannol? Diolch.
English: Thank you. I'm obviously very aware of the information that was published. I think there's been a call - . Since we went out to consultation on 'Brexit and our land' last year - the first consultation - there's certainly been a call to have a component for volatility. I think it also shows that the basic payment scheme hasn't provided that cushion that farmers want to see. Members will be aware that I'm doing an oral statement very soon around the first consultation from 'Brexit and our land', and I have committed to go into a second consultation ahead of the Royal Welsh Show. So, obviously, these are things that can all be considered in that consultation.
Welsh: Diolch. Yn amlwg, rwy'n ymwybodol iawn o'r wybodaeth a gyhoeddwyd. Credaf fod galwad wedi bod - . Ers inni gynnal ymgynghoriad ar 'Brexit a'n tir' y llynedd - yr ymgynghoriad cyntaf - yn sicr, cafwyd galwad i gael elfen ar gyfer anwadalrwydd. Credaf fod hyn hefyd yn dangos nad yw cynllun y taliad sylfaenol wedi darparu'r glustog honno yr hoffai ffermwyr ei gweld. Bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol y byddaf yn gwneud datganiad llafar yn fuan iawn ynglŷn â'r ymgynghoriad cyntaf ar 'Brexit a'n tir', ac rwyf wedi ymrwymo i gychwyn ail ymgynghoriad cyn Sioe Frenhinol Cymru. Felly, yn amlwg, mae'r rhain oll yn bethau y gellir eu hystyried yn yr ymgynghoriad hwnnw.
English: Thank you. Llywydd, I understand that you've given your permission for questions 2 and 3 to be grouped.
Welsh: Diolch. Lywydd, deallaf eich bod wedi rhoi caniatâd i gwestiynau 2 a 3 gael eu grwpio.
English: Yes, I had, but the Member asking question 3 is not in the Chamber. So, the grouping cannot therefore be grouped. So, answer the question as question 2.
Welsh: Do, roeddwn wedi gwneud hynny, ond nid yw'r Aelod sy'n gofyn cwestiwn 3 yn y Siambr. Felly, ni ellir grwpio'r grŵp. Felly, atebwch y cwestiwn fel cwestiwn 2.
English: Thank you. I hadn't noticed the Member wasn't present, sorry. I'm gravely concerned about the global loss of biodiversity. The legislation we have introduced requires all public bodies, including Welsh Ministers, to proactively maintain and enhance biodiversity through the decisions they make. We also provide financial and practical support to community groups to take action in their local area.
Welsh: Diolch. Nid oeddwn wedi sylwi nad oedd yr Aelod yn bresennol, mae'n ddrwg gennyf. Rwy'n bryderus iawn ynglŷn â cholli bioamrywiaeth yn fyd-eang. Mae'r ddeddfwriaeth a gyflwynwyd gennym yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i bob corff cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys Gweinidogion Cymru, fynd ati'n rhagweithiol i gynnal a gwella bioamrywiaeth drwy'r penderfyniadau a wnânt. Rydym hefyd yn darparu cymorth ariannol ac ymarferol i grwpiau cymunedol allu rhoi camau ar waith yn eu hardal leol.
English: I thank you for that answer. Minister, the inter-governmental science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services report ranked five direct drivers of change in nature with the largest global impacts being change in land and sea use, direct exploitation of organisms, climate change, pollution, including slurry, pesticides and herbicides, and invasive species. The impacts of these human activities on biodiversity have been catastrophic, particularly in recent years. However, despite that, the report does go on to be quite positive and it does say that it's not too late to make a difference, but only if action is taken at every single level, from local to global. And through that transformative change, nature can still recover. I know that you've outlined some of the changes that are being made, and you know that I repeatedly call for action on slurry and other usage. So, what immediate action is the Welsh Government planning now to at least halt and then also reverse the damage that is being done?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb. Weinidog, nododd y platfform polisi gwyddoniaeth rhynglywodraethol ar fioamrywiaeth a gwasanaethau ecosystemau bum ffactor uniongyrchol sy'n sbarduno newid mewn natur, gyda'r effeithiau byd-eang mwyaf yn cynnwys newid o ran defnydd tir a môr, ecsbloetio organebau yn uniongyrchol, newid yn yr hinsawdd, llygredd, gan gynnwys slyri, plaladdwyr a chwynladdwyr, a rhywogaethau goresgynnol. Mae effeithiau'r gweithgareddau dynol hyn ar fioamrywiaeth wedi bod yn drychinebus, yn enwedig yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Fodd bynnag, er gwaethaf hynny, mae'r adroddiad yn mynd yn ei flaen i fod yn eithaf cadarnhaol, a dywed nad yw'n rhy hwyr i wneud gwahaniaeth, ond dim ond os gweithredir camau ar bob lefel, o'r lefel leol i lefel fyd-eang. A thrwy'r newid trawsnewidiol hwnnw, fe all natur wella. Gwn eich bod wedi amlinellu rhai o'r newidiadau sy'n cael eu gwneud, a gwyddoch fy mod yn galw dro ar ôl tro am weithredu ar slyri a phethau eraill. Felly, pa gamau brys y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cynllunio yn awr o leiaf i atal ac yna i wrthdroi'r difrod a wneir?
English: Thank you. Certainly, the report that was published last week is deeply worrying, but, like you, I was very pleased that the global assessment did recognise that it's not too late to reverse a trend, but it does require that transformative change to which you referred. I do think that we're ahead of the game in recognising that biodiversity underpins our economic and our social well-being, and it's, I think, as big a challenge as climate change. We've got our world-leading and groundbreaking legislation and our policy to manage our natural resources sustainably. We've got our natural resources policy, which sets out our priorities to enable us to reverse decline. I want to achieve more resilient ecosystems, and we'll do that through the policy. We've also got our nature recovery action plan, and I've asked for a refresh of that. That's currently under way, and that's going to report back before the end of the year. I absolutely hear what you say about slurry and agricultural pollution, and you'll be aware of the regulations that I'm bringing in next January. I'm still working very closely with stakeholders on the voluntary initiatives because I think it's better to have that twin approach.
Welsh: Diolch. Yn sicr, mae'r adroddiad a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf yn peri cryn bryder, ond fel chithau, roeddwn yn falch iawn fod yr asesiad byd-eang wedi cydnabod nad yw'n rhy hwyr i wrthdroi tuedd, ond mae angen y newid trawsnewidiol hwnnw y cyfeirioch chi ato er mwyn gwneud hynny. Credaf ein bod ar y blaen o ran cydnabod bod bioamrywiaeth yn sail i'n lles economaidd a chymdeithasol, a chredaf ei bod yn gymaint o her â'r newid yn yr hinsawdd. Mae gennym ein deddfwriaeth flaengar ac arloesol a'n polisi i reoli ein hadnoddau naturiol yn gynaliadwy. Mae gennym ein polisi adnoddau naturiol, sy'n nodi ein blaenoriaethau i'n galluogi i wrthdroi dirywiad. Rwyf am sicrhau ecosystemau mwy gwydn, a byddwn yn gwneud hynny drwy'r polisi. Mae gennym hefyd ein cynllun gweithredu ar adfer natur, ac rwyf wedi gofyn am ei adnewyddu. Mae'r gwaith hwnnw'n mynd rhagddo ar hyn o bryd, a bydd yn adrodd yn ôl cyn diwedd y flwyddyn. Yn sicr, rwy'n clywed yr hyn a ddywedwch am slyri a llygredd amaethyddol, ac fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r rheoliadau y byddaf yn eu cyflwyno fis Ionawr nesaf. Rwy'n dal i weithio'n agos iawn gyda rhanddeiliaid ar y mentrau gwirfoddol gan y credaf ei bod yn well cael yr ymagwedd ddeuol honno.
English: Minister, I'm sure everyone in the Chamber will agree that the UN report makes for very sober reading and highlights the urgency that is required in protecting our wildlife. The report identifies that one of the direct drivers of decline in species is pollution, which, of course, includes plastic pollution. Plastic pollution is a huge problem and, as the Atlantic puffin species champion, I am concerned about the impact marine plastic may have on the puffin population in Wales, particularly those on Skomer island. Puffins, whilst they are doing relatively well in Wales, are currently on the amber list of UK birds of conservation concern as they are vulnerable to adverse changes in the environment because their breeding population is concentrated on a small number of sites. As such, increases in marine plastic pollution puts pressure on puffins in both Wales and the wider environment. In the circumstances, what specific work is the Welsh Government doing to reduce the amount of waste that actually ends up in our ocean so that we help to clean up our seas to protect our marine wildlife for future generations?
Welsh: Weinidog, rwy'n siŵr y bydd pawb yn y Siambr yn cytuno bod adroddiad y Cenhedloedd Unedig yn sobreiddiol iawn ac yn nodi'r brys sydd ei angen i ddiogelu ein bywyd gwyllt. Mae'r adroddiad yn nodi bod llygredd yn un o'r ffactorau uniongyrchol sy'n sbarduno dirywiad rhywogaethau, ac mae'n cynnwys llygredd plastig wrth gwrs. Mae llygredd plastig yn broblem enfawr, ac fel hyrwyddwr rhywogaeth y pâl, rwy'n pryderu ynghylch yr effaith y gallai plastig morol ei chael ar boblogaeth y pâl yng Nghymru, yn enwedig ar ynys Sgomer. Er eu bod yn gwneud yn gymharol dda yng Nghymru, mae palod ar y rhestr ambr o adar sy'n destun pryder cadwraethol yn y DU gan eu bod yn agored i newidiadau andwyol yn yr amgylchedd am fod eu poblogaeth fridio wedi'i chrynhoi ar nifer fach o safleoedd. O'r herwydd, mae cynnydd mewn llygredd plastig morol yn rhoi pwysau ar balod yng Nghymru a'r amgylchedd ehangach. O dan yr amgylchiadau, pa waith penodol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i gyfyngu ar y gwastraff sy'n cyrraedd ein moroedd er mwyn inni allu helpu i'w glanhau a diogelu ein bywyd gwyllt morol ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol?
English: Thank you. I think I'm going to hear from a lot of Members about the species that they're champions for this afternoon, looking at the questions. I think the Member raises a very important point about marine pollution, and certainly there have been several campaigns that have highlighted that. I'm working very closely with my colleague the Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government around the waste agenda. There are several initiatives that we're bringing forward, but we do appreciate that we're going to have to do far more in regard to this. I think behavioural change is also very important, in the way that we did it with recycling, and that's something that we're looking at this year also.
Welsh: Diolch. Credaf y byddaf yn clywed gan sawl Aelod am y rhywogaethau y maent yn eu hyrwyddo y prynhawn yma, o edrych ar y cwestiynau. Credaf fod yr Aelod yn gofyn cwestiwn pwysig iawn am lygredd morol, ac yn sicr, mae sawl ymgyrch wedi tynnu sylw at hynny. Rwy'n gweithio'n agos iawn gyda fy nghyd-Aelod, y Dirprwy Weinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, ar yr agenda wastraff. Rydym yn rhoi nifer o fentrau ar waith, ond deallwn y bydd yn rhaid i ni wneud llawer mwy mewn perthynas â hyn. Credaf fod newid ymddygiad hefyd yn bwysig iawn, yn y ffordd y gwnaethom gydag ailgylchu, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth rydym yn edrych arno eleni hefyd.
English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Minister, I do understand the position you've taken on farm plastics and the disposal of farm plastics. It is a commercial decision, in the relationship between operators and farm businesses. But the regulations that surround farm plastics and the storage of farm plastics is obviously a Government regulation. Have you given any consideration to being a facilitator to try and overcome some of the blockages in the system at the moment, which obviously mean that there is a considerable amount of on-farm plastics now being stored, because the market, basically, has dried up on its disposal? As I said, I'm not looking to you to put financial solutions in place, but there is a role for Government in understanding the regulations that they impose on the industry and trying to be a facilitator to try and break the deadlock so that a solution can be found.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, rwy'n deall eich safbwynt ar blastigau fferm a chael gwared ar blastigau fferm. Mae'n benderfyniad masnachol, yn y berthynas rhwng gweithredwyr a busnesau fferm. Ond mae'r rheoliadau sy'n ymwneud â phlastigau fferm a storio plastigau fferm yn amlwg yn reoliadau'r Llywodraeth. A ydych wedi ystyried bod yn hwylusydd i geisio goresgyn rhai o'r rhwystrau yn y system ar hyn o bryd, sy'n amlwg yn golygu bod llawer iawn o blastigau ar ffermydd bellach yn cael eu storio, gan fod y farchnad ar gyfer cael gwared arnynt wedi diflannu, yn y bôn? Fel y dywedais, nid wyf yn disgwyl i chi roi atebion ariannol ar waith, ond mae rôl i'r Llywodraeth yn hyn o beth o ran deall y rheoliadau y maent yn eu gosod ar y diwydiant a cheisio bod yn hwylusydd er mwyn ceisio datrys y broblem fel bod modd dod o hyd i ateb.
