English: I thank Simon Thomas for his list of questions and for welcoming the significant progress that we've made. I think you raise a very important point about team Wales, brand Wales and ensuring that people understand where the food is coming from. Certainly, I'm having discussions around labelling. You'll be aware that, even in a product, you could have some imported ingredients also, so I think it is very important that labelling is very clear and that people understand what they did. I saw a really disturbing example at one of the summer fairs last year when a lady thought she'd bought bacon that was Welsh, but it actually wasn't. You know, it had the dragon, but underneath it said that part of it wasn't all from Wales, and she was incredibly annoyed about it and came up to me and told me of her annoyance. So, I think it is vital that we get it right. And maybe that's one of the opportunities that we can have coming out of Europe. You spoke about protected food names, and I mentioned in my opening remarks that the PFN family is growing rapidly. I've been very pleased that even the ones that were in the pipeline - the EU are treating them just as they would have done if we weren't exiting the EU, so I think it's very good. They're great selling points. Certainly producers that I've spoken to think it's an advantage and a very unique selling point. Again, I think it's very important that, after we exit the EU, we aim to work with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to ensure the EU honour any schemes that are in the pipeline to their completion. Also, companies and food producers who have PFN at the moment, I think they want to retain it. Certainly, there are examples of countries outside the EU having registered products, so I don't see that that's necessarily a barrier. So, I think there is a strong precedent to negotiate our continued part in the scheme, and those are discussions that are ongoing. You too mentioned about supermarkets ensuring that they continue to have Welsh produce. One big success, I think, has been Asda selling Welsh lamb. Again, they piloted it in a few supermarkets, but they are looking to increase that number, and I think that will be, obviously, very beneficial for Welsh lamb. BlasCymru certainly was very successful. I know a few people have said to me that they weren't happy that the True Taste awards went. I have to say that most of the companies that I talk to really like the UK Great Taste awards, but it's something that I'm very happy to consider going forward - having our own awards. You asked about Project Helix. That's delivered by the three food centres of excellence, as you know, the ZERO2FIVE food industry centre, which is based at Cardiff Met, the Food Centre Wales at Horeb in Ceredigion, and the Food Technology Centre, which is based at Coleg Menai up in Llangefni. What Helix's mission is is to stimulate that innovation and support new product development that benefits, obviously, all our food and drink companies, working together to meet their needs. So, that work is ongoing. It was launched at BlasCymru back in March and it had RDP funding of £21.2 million. What it's doing is it's working with companies that engage with over 400 food and drink businesses, and that figure is growing daily. I'd be very happy to write to the Member if he wants a specific example of what it's doing, but it is expected, over the lifetime of the scheme, to generate about £100 million for the Welsh economy and also safeguard thousands of jobs. You mentioned the funding that was announced by the First Minister - the EU transition fund to help out our businesses. At our Brexit round-table meeting yesterday in Aberystwyth, it was certainly welcomed. Many of our companies are very concerned about making sure that they're sustainable and, certainly, the £50 million - and I'm looking at the Cabinet Secretary for Finance - that's the initial funding, and we are hoping there'll be more. You ask if I've got enough funding. Obviously you've never got enough funding, have you? But I'm sure the Cabinet Secretary for Finance has heard my plea. But, certainly, I think that that funding will really help companies prepare for Brexit, and they are telling us that that's what they want. So, we'll wait to see, obviously, at the end, if we require some more. You asked about Hybu Cig Cymru, and I mentioned the extra funding that I announced for them. They're going to develop and deliver an enhanced export development programme for Welsh red meat. I think it's very important that we seek to increase sales. Export sales will obviously be a key component of that, and I mentioned that I told them to be as ambitious as possible in meeting that, and if they could exceed it, that would be, obviously, beneficial for everybody. I can't see a time when we won't be bringing forward school milk, and, certainly, the farmers are telling me that it's very important that we continue to do that. I haven't had specific discussions, but I will make sure that I put that on the agenda.
Welsh: Diolch i Simon Thomas am ei restr o gwestiynau ac am groesawu'r cynnydd sylweddol yr ydym ni wedi ei wneud. Credaf eich bod yn codi pwynt pwysig iawn ynghylch tîm Cymru, brand Cymru a sicrhau bod pobl yn deall o ble y daw'r bwyd. Yn sicr, rwyf yn cael trafodaethau ynglŷn â labelu. Byddwch yn ymwybodol, hyd yn oed mewn cynnyrch, y gallech chi gael rhai cynhwysion wedi eu mewnforio hefyd, felly mae'n bwysig iawn bod labelu yn glir iawn a bod pobl yn deall yr hyn a wnaethant. Gwelais enghraifft wirioneddol annymunol yn un o'r ffeiriau haf y llynedd pan gredai gwraig ei bod hi wedi prynu cig moch a oedd o Gymru, ond mewn gwirionedd doedd o ddim. Wyddoch chi, roedd y ddraig arno, ond oddi tano roedd o'n dweud nad oedd rhan ohono i gyd o Gymru, ac roedd hi'n hynod o flin am y peth ac fe ddaeth hi ataf i a dweud wrthyf i pa mor flin yr oedd hi. Felly, credaf ei bod hi'n hanfodol ein bod ni'n cael hyn yn iawn. Ac efallai mai dyna un o'r cyfleoedd a gawn ni wrth ymadael ag Ewrop. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am enwau bwyd wedi'u hamddiffyn, a soniais yn fy sylwadau agoriadol fod y teulu PFN yn tyfu'n gyflym. Rwyf wedi bod yn falch iawn bod hyd yn oed y rhai nad oedden nhw yn yr arfaeth - mae'r UE yn eu trin yn union fel y byddent wedi gwneud pe na baem ni'n gadael yr UE, felly credaf ei bod hi'n dda iawn. Maen nhw'n bwyntiau gwerthu gwych. Yn sicr mae'r cynhyrchwyr hynny yr wyf i wedi siarad â nhw yn meddwl ei fod yn fantais ac yn bwynt gwerthu unigryw iawn. Eto, credaf ei bod hi'n bwysig iawn, ar ôl i ni adael yr UE, ein bod ni'n ceisio gweithio gydag Adran yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig i sicrhau bod yr EU yn anrhydeddu unrhyw gynlluniau ar y gweill hyd at eu cwblhau. Hefyd, cwmnïau a chynhyrchwyr bwyd sydd â PFN ar hyn o bryd, rwy'n credu y dymunant gadw hynny. Yn sicr, ceir enghreifftiau o wledydd y tu allan i'r UE sydd wedi cofrestru cynhyrchion, felly nid wyf yn gweld fod hynny o reidrwydd yn rhwystr. Felly, credaf fod cynsail cryf i drafod ein rhan barhaus yn y cynllun, ac mae'r rheini'n drafodaethau sydd ar y gweill. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn hefyd am archfarchnadoedd a sicrhau eu bod yn parhau i werthu cynnyrch Cymreig. Un llwyddiant mawr, rwy'n meddwl, oedd Asda yn gwerthu cig oen Cymru. Unwaith eto, fe wnaethon nhw arbrofi gyda hynny mewn rhai archfarchnadoedd, ond maen nhw'n bwriadu cynyddu'r nifer hwnnw, a chredaf y bydd hynny'n fuddiol, yn amlwg, ar gyfer cig oen Cymru. Yn sicr roedd Blas Cymru yn llwyddiannus iawn. Gwn fod ychydig o bobl wedi dweud wrthyf i nad oedden nhw'n hapus fod y gwobrau Gwir Flas wedi dod i ben. Rhaid imi ddweud bod y rhan fwyaf o gwmnïau yr wyf yn siarad â nhw wrth eu boddau gyda gwobrau Great Taste y DU, ond mae'n rhywbeth yr wyf i'n hapus iawn i'w ystyried yn y dyfodol - cael ein gwobrau ein hunain. Fe wnaethoch chi ofyn ynglŷn â Phrosiect Helics. Caiff hynny ei gyflawni gan y tair canolfan fwyd rhagoriaeth, fel y gwyddoch chi, y ganolfan diwydiant bwyd ZERO2FIVE ym Mhrifysgol Fetropolitan Caerdydd, Canolfan Bwyd Cymru yn Horeb yng Ngheredigion a'r Ganolfan Dechnoleg Bwyd yng Ngholeg Menai yn Llangefni. Nod Helics yw ysgogi'r arloesi hwnnw a chefnogi datblygu cynnyrch newydd sydd o fudd, yn amlwg, i bob un o'n cwmnïau bwyd a diod, gan gydweithio i ddiwallu eu hanghenion. Felly, mae'r gwaith hwnnw'n parhau. Fe'i lansiwyd yn Blas Cymru ym mis Mawrth ac fe gafodd £21.2 miliwn o gyllid Cynllun Datblygu Gwledig. Yr hyn y mae'n ei wneud yw gweithio gyda chwmnïau sy'n ymwneud â dros 400 o fusnesau bwyd a diod, ac mae'r ffigur hwnnw'n cynyddu bob dydd. Rwy'n hapus iawn i ysgrifennu at yr Aelod os yr hoffai enghraifft benodol o beth mae'r prosiect yn ei wneud, ond disgwylir, dros oes y cynllun, iddo gynhyrchu tua £100 miliwn i economi Cymru a hefyd ddiogelu miloedd o swyddi. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am y cyllid a gyhoeddwyd gan y Prif Weinidog - cronfa bontio yr UE i helpu ein busnesau. Yn ein cyfarfod bord gron Brexit ddoe yn Aberystwyth, roedd croeso brwd iddo. Mae llawer o'n cwmnïau yn bryderus iawn ynglŷn â gwneud yn siŵr eu bod yn gynaliadwy ac, yn sicr, bydd y £50 miliwn - ac rwy'n edrych ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid - dyna'r cyllid cychwynnol, ac rydym ni'n gobeithio y bydd mwy. Rydych chi'n gofyn a oes gen i ddigon o arian. Mae'n amlwg nad oes gennych chi fyth ddigon o arian, nag oes? Ond rwy'n siŵr bod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid wedi clywed fy mhle. Ond, yn sicr, credaf y bydd y cyllid mewn gwirionedd yn helpu cwmnïau i baratoi ar gyfer Brexit, ac maen nhw'n dweud wrthym ni mai dyna beth y maen nhw'n ei ddymuno. Felly, byddwn yn aros i weld, yn amlwg, ar y diwedd, os bydd angen mwy arnom. Fe wnaethoch chi holi ynglŷn â Hybu Cig Cymru, a soniais am y cyllid ychwanegol a gyhoeddais ar eu cyfer. Maen nhw'n mynd i ddatblygu a chyflwyno rhaglen ddatblygu allforio well ar gyfer cig coch Cymru. Credaf ei bod hi'n bwysig iawn inni geisio cynyddu gwerthiant. Mae'n amlwg y bydd gwerthiant allforio yn elfen allweddol o hynny, a soniais fy mod i wedi dweud wrthyn nhw i fod mor uchelgeisiol â phosib yn y cyfarfod, ac os gallant ragori arno, byddai hynny'n fuddiol, yn amlwg, i bawb. Ni allaf weld adeg pan na fyddwn ni'n cyflwyno llaeth mewn ysgolion, ac, yn sicr, mae'r ffermwyr yn dweud wrthyf ei bod hi'n bwysig iawn ein bod ni'n parhau i wneud hynny. Nid wyf wedi cael trafodaethau penodol, ond byddaf yn gwneud yn siŵr y byddaf yn rhoi hynny ar yr agenda.
