English: I will make some comments that are relevant to the whole of Wales, and then look at my constituency of Anglesey. We've all heard people discussing the importance of taking back control. What we're not clear about is what exactly we're talking about: what kind of control we're talking about, and what will the cost of that be. The risk that we face in Wales now is that we could lose control as a result of the UK Government's intent through the great repeal Bill, and we've heard some of my fellow Members discuss that already. For example, I'm very concerned about the agricultural industry in my constituency if the UK Government do what they've threatened to do in terms of European framework powers, taking them to themselves - temporarily at least - with no pledges in the longer term, rather than doing what is just, and constitutional, in my view, and is crucial for our rural economy and our rural communities, namely to ensure that the Welsh Parliament continues to have full responsibility on issues in this area, an area that is clearly fully devolved. But I will mention one other area where control will be lost as a result of the issuing of the article 50 letter: not losing control for constitutional reasons or legislative reasons, but because of the practical implications of the kind of Brexit that the UK Government seems intent on seeking. Anglesey is the main port for trade between the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Over three quarters of the trade on lorries between Europe and the Republic of Ireland passed through Welsh ports, and 79 per cent of that went through Holyhead port. Over 2 million people passed through the port: hundreds of thousands of cars and thousands of buses. I hope I'm painting a picture of just why the port of Holyhead is so important to Wales and so important to the island of Anglesey, where hundreds are directly employed in the port, and far more in businesses related to the success of the port. My concern is that the UK Government is voluntarily losing control of the prosperity of that port by deciding to give up its membership of the single market and the customs union. If, for obvious reasons - to save the peace process - we need to secure a soft border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, that wouldn't be the case between Wales and Ireland, and Holyhead/Dublin would be a hard border, quite possibly. There would be a major temptation to develop direct links from the Republic of Ireland to France - routes that currently exist at the moment, of course. Now, I am gravely concerned as to the impact of turning Holyhead from the swiftest and easiest route, and the most efficient route between Europe and Ireland, into one of the most difficult. In the White Paper drawn up jointly between Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government, we attempted to state what kind of control we would wish the UK Government to retain in terms of the relationship between Britain and Europe in the future. Playing a part in the single market is close to the top of that list, if not on top of the list. I don't want to leave the European Union - I never would. But as that is the direction of travel, we do have to seek mitigation measures, and the single market is crucial to that, and we must continue to put pressure on for that. To conclude, I will turn to the continuation Bill, which is the subject of our amendment. The First Minister said that he thought that a continuation Bill should be a last resort in terms of securing the constitutional future of Wales, and ensuring that the Parliament of Wales express in legislation our expectations that leaving the European Union wouldn't undermine our ability to take action on behalf of the people of Wales. He added that we would have to wait for the great repeal Bill first. I will say this: surely now is the opportunity and the time for us to take action, because we can't wait to see if the UK Government is going to act in a way that reflects the needs of the people of Wales, because the signs currently aren't there that the UK Government will do that.
Welsh: Mi wnaf rai sylwadau perthnasol i Gymru gyfan, ac yn arbennig, felly, fy etholaeth i yn Ynys Môn. Rydym ni i gyd wedi clywed pobl yn sôn am bwysigrwydd cymryd rheolaeth yn ôl. Beth nad ydym yn eglur amdano fo, wrth gwrs, yw beth yn union rydym yn sôn amdano fo: pa fath o reolaeth, nac ychwaith beth fydd y gost o gymryd y rheolaeth yna. Y peryg rydym yn ei wynebu yng Nghymru bellach yw y gallem ni fod yn colli rheolaeth yn sgil bwriad Llywodraeth Prydain drwy'r 'great repeal Bill'. Rydym ni wedi clywed rhai o fy nghyd-Aelodau i yn sôn am hynny. Er enghraifft, rwy'n bryderus iawn dros y diwydiant amaeth yn fy etholaeth i os yw Llywodraeth Prydain yn gwneud yr hyn y maen nhw'n bygwth ei wneud, maen ymddangos, o ran cadw hawliau fframweithiau Ewropeaidd iddyn nhw eu hunain, dros dro o leiaf, efo dim addewidion yn yr hirdymor, yn hytrach na gwneud yr hyn sydd yn gyfiawn, yn gyfansoddiadol, rwy'n credu, ac yn allweddol ar gyfer ein economi wledig, a chymdeithas wledig, sef i sicrhau bod Senedd Cymru yn parhau i fod â chyfrifoldeb llawn am faterion yn y maes yma, maes sydd yn gwbl glir yn faes datganoledig. Ond mi soniaf, os caf, am fater arall o golli rheolaeth a ddaw yn sgil llythyr erthygl 50: nid colli rheolaeth am resymau cyfansoddiadol, nid am resymau deddfwriaethol, ond drwy oblygiadau ymarferol y math o ymadawiad o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd mae Llywodraeth Prydain, maen ymddangos, yn benderfynol o chwilio amdano fo. Ynys Môn ydy'r prif borth ar gyfer masnach rhwng y Deyrnas Unedig a Gweriniaeth Iwerddon. Drwy borthladdoedd Cymru mae dros tri chwarter y masnach ar lorïau rhwng Gweriniaeth Iwerddon ac Ewrop yn pasio. Mi wnaeth 79 y cant o'r rheini basio drwy borthladd Caergybi. Mi basiodd dros 2 filiwn o bobl drwy'r porthladd: cannoedd o filoedd o geir, a miloedd o fysys. Rwy'n gobeithio fy mod yn creu darlun o pam bod porthladd Caergybi mor bwysig i Gymru a mor bwysig i Ynys Môn, lle mae cannoedd, wrth gwrs, yn cael eu cyflogi'n uniongyrchol yn y porthladd, a llawer mwy mewn busnesau sy'n gysylltiedig â llwyddiant y porthladd. Fy mhryder i ydy bod Llywodraeth Prydain yn gwirfoddoli i golli rheolaeth dros ffyniant y porthladd hwnnw, drwy benderfynu, maen ymddangos, ildio'i haelodaeth o'r farchnad sengl, ac, o bosib, yr undeb tollau. Os oes rhaid, am resymau amlwg iawn - achub y broses heddwch - sicrhau ffin feddal rhwng Gweriniaeth Iwerddon a Gogledd Iwerddon, fyddai hynny ddim yn wir rhwng Cymru ac Iwerddon. Mi fyddai Caergybi/Dulyn yn ffin galed, bosib iawn. Mi fyddai yna demtasiwn mawr, rwy'n siŵr, i ddatblygu teithiau uniongyrchol o Weriniaeth Iwerddon i Ffrainc - teithiau sy'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd, wrth gwrs. Rwy'n ofni yn wirioneddol beth fyddai effaith troi Caergybi o'r llwybr cyflymaf, y llwybr hawsaf, y llwybr mwyaf effeithiol rhwng Ewrop ac Iwerddon, i un o'r llwybrau anoddaf. Mi geisiom ni yn y Papur Gwyn, a gafodd ei lunio ar y cyd rhwng Plaid Cymru a Llywodraeth Cymru, ddweud pa reolaeth fyddem ni'n dymuno i Lywodraeth Prydain ei chadw, os liciwch chi, ar y berthynas rhwng Prydain ac Ewrop yn y dyfodol. Mae chwarae rhan yn y farchnad sengl yn agos at frig y rhestr honno, os nad ar y brig. Nid wyf i ishio gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd - ni fyddaf i byth. Ond gan mai dyna'r cyfeiriad rydym ni'n mynd iddo fo, rydym ni'n gorfod chwilio am fesurau lliniaru, ac mae'r farchnad sengl yn gwbl allweddol i hynny. Mae angen parhau i bwyso am hynny. I gloi, mi wnaf i droi at y Bil parhad sy'n destun ein gwelliant ni. Mi ddywedodd y Prif Weinidog ei fod o'n credu mai 'last resort' ddylai Bil parhad fod er mwyn sicrhau dyfodol cyfansoddiadol Cymru a sicrhau ein bod ni yn Senedd Cymru yn datgan mewn deddfwriaeth ein disgwyliadau ni na fydd ymadael â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd yn tanseilio'n gallu i weithredu ar ran pobl Cymru. Mi ychwanegodd y byddai'n rhaid aros am y 'great repeal Bill' yn gyntaf. Mi ddywedaf i hyn: siawns mai rŵan ydy'r cyfle a'r amser inni weithredu, achos ni allwn ni ddim aros i weld os ydy Llywodraeth Prydain yn mynd i weithredu mewn ffordd sy'n adlewyrchu anghenion pobl Cymru, achos nid ydy'r arwyddion yno ar hyn o bryd bod Llywodraeth Prydain am wneud hynny.
