English: I'm pleased to contribute to this debate today as a member of the Finance Committee, and to reiterate the views of our new Chair, who actually covered the issues in our report very fully and comprehensively, so I don't need to add much to that. It was clearly an area of enormous importance that we were looking at during our reporting stage. The issue of how we replace EU funding post the UK's exit from the European Union is something that will affect us all, affect all sectors of the economy. It's an unprecedented situation, and I think we recognised that in the sessions that we had with the Welsh Government. This has not been done before, so you can't expect the Welsh Government to be able to plan everything meticulously ahead, although from the discussions that we did have with officials in the Welsh Government, I think that a lot of good work has been done in a difficult situation. There is no right way to proceed, so key is recommendation 1, which says that we need the best possible funding deal to ensure that Wales is not a penny worse off post Brexit. We particularly phrased it as 'not a penny worse off', because, let's face it, if we could get some additional money in addition to what we've had - I know that it might be seen as pie in the sky, but if we could get some additional money then that avenue should not be closed down. But the very standard-case scenario that we would want to see would be us getting a pound-for-pound replacement from the new funding arrangements that we get at the moment from Brussels. The Conservative manifesto for the 2017 general election committed my party to establishing a UK-wide shared prosperity fund, which the Chair has mentioned, that would avoid some of the costs and the bureaucracy associated with the current funds. And whilst I think we all recognise how much Wales has benefited from structural funds and how much our agricultural industry has benefited from payments from the CAP, I think that all of us would say that it hasn't been a perfect situation and that there have been some administration costs. There are different ways of doing things that this is an opportunity for us to do; we don't have to follow everything as it's been done by Brussels hitherto. I appreciate that we haven't seen to many details of this fund, and I'm sure the Cabinet Secretary will make comments on this in his remarks later, but I think it is important that we hit the ground running when that shared prosperity fund is up and running. So, aside from some of the issues about not knowing exactly what the details will be, it's important that the Welsh Government puts in place mechanisms so that as soon as the details of that fund do become clear, we can hit the ground running and get on with using that money as it should be used.

Welsh: Rwy'n falch o gyfrannu at y ddadl hon heddiw fel aelod o'r Pwyllgor Cyllid, ac o ategu safbwyntiau ein Cadeirydd newydd, sydd wedi cynnwys y materion yn ein hadroddiad yn llawn ac yn gynhwysfawr iawn mewn gwirionedd, felly nid oes angen imi ychwanegu llawer at hynny. Roedd yr hyn yr edrychem arno yn hystod ein cyfnod adrodd yn amlwg yn faes aruthrol o bwysig. Mae sut y down o hyd i gyllid yn lle ffrydiau cyllido'r UE wedi i'r DU adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yn rhywbeth a fydd yn effeithio ar bawb ohonom, yn effeithio ar bob sector o'r economi. Mae'n sefyllfa ddigynsail, a chredaf fod pawb ohonom wedi cydnabod hynny yn y sesiynau a gawsom gyda Llywodraeth Cymru. Nid yw hyn wedi'i wneud o'r blaen, felly ni allwch ddisgwyl i Lywodraeth Cymru allu cynllunio popeth yn berffaith ymlaen llaw, er fy mod yn credu, o'r trafodaethau a gawsom gyda swyddogion yn Llywodraeth Cymru, fod llawer o waith da wedi'i wneud mewn sefyllfa anodd. Nid oes un ffordd gywir o symud ymlaen, felly mae argymhelliad 1 yn allweddol, drwy ddweud bod angen inni gael y cytundeb cyllido gorau posibl er mwyn sicrhau nad yw Cymru geiniog ar ei cholled ar ôl Brexit. Rydym wedi defnyddio'r geiriad penodol 'geiniog ar ei cholled', oherwydd, a dweud y gwir, pe gallem gael rhywfaint o arian ychwanegol yn ogystal â'r hyn rydym wedi'i gael - gwn y gallai hyn gael ei weld fel breuddwyd gwrach, ond pe gallem gael rhywfaint o arian ychwanegol yna ni ddylem gau'r drws ar hynny. Ond hoffem weld senario sy'n cynnig fan lleiaf yr un faint o gyllid bunt am bunt o'r trefniadau cyllid newydd ag a gawn ar hyn o bryd o Frwsel. Ymrwymodd maniffesto'r Ceidwadwyr ar gyfer etholiad cyffredinol 2017 fy mhlaid i sefydlu cronfa ffyniant gyffredin, y cyfeiriodd y Cadeirydd ati, a fyddai'n osgoi rhai o'r costau a'r fiwrocratiaeth sydd ynghlwm wrth y ffrydiau cyllido presennol. Ac er y credaf fod pawb ohonom yn cydnabod faint y mae Cymru wedi elwa o'r cronfeydd strwythurol a faint y mae ein diwydiant amaethyddol wedi elwa o daliadau'r PAC, credaf y byddai pob un ohonom yn dweud nad yw wedi bod yn sefyllfa berffaith a bod rhai costau gweinyddol ynghlwm wrthi. Mae yna ffyrdd gwahanol o wneud pethau a dyma gyfle inni eu gwneud; nid oes raid inni ddilyn popeth fel y cafodd ei wneud gan Frwsel hyd yn hyn. Rwy'n sylweddoli nad ydym wedi gweld llawer iawn o fanylion am y gronfa hon, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn tynnu sylw at hynny yn ei sylwadau yn nes ymlaen, ond credaf ei bod hi'n bwysig i ni fod yn barod erbyn yr adeg y bydd y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin wedi'i sefydlu ac yn weithredol. Felly, ar wahân i rai materion sy'n codi o'r ffaith nad ydym yn gwybod yn union beth fydd y manylion, mae'n bwysig fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi mecanweithiau ar waith fel y gallwn fod yn barod cyn gynted ag y daw manylion y gronfa honno'n glir, ac y gallwn fwrw ati i ddefnyddio'r arian hwnnw fel y dylai gael ei ddefnyddio. David.
