English: Thank you, Janet Finch-Saunders, for those lists of observations and comments and questions. You talked about disallowance and allegations against RDP projects, and I am, obviously, aware of those. Appropriate and proportionate checks are taken to ensure that eligible expenditure is reimbursed, and that includes recovery of payments that have been made during the lifetime of a project, and I think that's really important to understand - that there are a variety of stages during the life of a project. I should also say that the Welsh Government has obligations to the European Commission - they monitor and they oversee all of the RDPs, and we are meeting and we continue to meet those obligations, and that needs to be recognised, and the Commission has repeatedly articulated their satisfaction with our programme. Our record on disallowance is the best in the UK and it's one of the best in Europe, and it really compares very favourably with the European Union. I think their average is about 2.1 per cent, the UK average is about 2.4 per cent, and the disallowance on our spend is 0.14 per cent. So, I hope that you'll join me in recognising that. I think it's a very naïve approach to public finances to suggest value for money is something that only can be assessed at one stage of a project. Every Member here knows that value for money for public spend has to be assessed at every stage of the project going forward. You talked about the enabling natural resources and well-being grants, and those projects are being developed along with cross-sector co-operative projects at the right scale. It does predominantly support projects that make improvements in residential areas by delivering benefits for people, for businesses, and their community. And again, each project is required to set out the multiple benefits that we're doing. I do appreciate that for some organisations, moving away from core funding to a more project-and-outcome-based model was faster, perhaps, than was originally expected, and it caused concern. But we are allowing time and funding for organisations to transition and action the exit plan that they were asked to set in place. Officials continue to meet with organisations to talk through the grant, and we've been very clear that what was considered to be core funding in the past can now be built into the future-based grant applications, and I have to say the feedback that's come back via officials and from myself with engagement with stakeholders has been very positive. This is the first window of the ENRaW funding. All large-scale projects have been issued with 'proceed at risk' letters, and they were required to produce those detailed delivery plans you referred to, and those plans were based on their original applications, and perhaps focused more on the operational delivery. It is absolutely important that we listen to stakeholders, and as I said, going forward to the new Government when they take the future RDP forward - it is really important that we look to learn from the existing RDP, and it's also really important that we take action in the context of our own Welsh Government priorities. And certainly the climate emergency must be at the fore of that. So, it is really important that we talk to a wide range of stakeholders, not just the ones that you referred to, but also that we look around the world at best practice to bring forward new projects and make sure that that targeted investment has the most benefits and impact. I mentioned the climate emergency. Obviously, we have a biodiversity emergency as well. And, of course, we have Brexit to deal with. So, I think it's not business as usual - that's not an option any more - but we must learn from the current RDP.
Welsh: Diolch, Janet Finch-Saunders, am y rhestrau yna o arsylwadau a sylwadau a chwestiynau. Sonioch am gosb ariannol a honiadau yn erbyn prosiectau'r cynllun datblygu gwledig, ac rwyf, yn amlwg, yn ymwybodol o'r rheini. Gwneir gwiriadau priodol a chymesur i sicrhau bod gwariant cymwys yn cael ei ad-dalu, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys adennill taliadau sydd wedi'u gwneud yn ystod oes prosiect, a chredaf fod hynny'n bwysig iawn i'w ddeall - bod amrywiaeth o gamau yn ystod oes prosiect. Dylwn ddweud hefyd fod gan Lywodraeth Cymru rwymedigaethau i'r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd - maen nhw'n monitro ac yn goruchwylio pob cynllun datblygu lleol, ac rydym yn cyfarfod ac rydym yn parhau i gyflawni'r rhwymedigaethau hynny, ac mae angen cydnabod hynny, ac mae'r Comisiwn wedi mynegi eu boddhad â'n rhaglen dro ar ôl tro. Ein hanes o ran y gosb ariannol yw'r gorau yn y DU ac mae'n un o'r goreuon yn Ewrop, ac mae'n cymharu'n ffafriol iawn â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Credaf fod eu cyfartaledd tua 2.1 y cant, mae cyfartaledd y DU tua 2.4 y cant, a'r gosb ariannol ar ein gwariant yw 0.14 y cant. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio y byddwch yn ymuno â mi i gydnabod hynny. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn ddull naïf iawn o ymdrin ag arian cyhoeddus i awgrymu bod gwerth am arian yn rhywbeth na ellir ond ei asesu ar un cam o brosiect. Mae pob Aelod yma'n gwybod bod yn rhaid asesu gwerth am arian ar gyfer gwariant cyhoeddus ar bob cam o'r prosiect wrth symud ymlaen. Sonioch am y grantiau galluogi adnoddau naturiol a llesiant, ac mae'r prosiectau hynny'n cael eu datblygu ynghyd â phrosiectau cydweithredol traws-sector ar y raddfa gywir. Mae'n cefnogi prosiectau sy'n gwneud gwelliannau mewn ardaloedd preswyl yn bennaf drwy sicrhau manteision i bobl, i fusnesau, a'u cymuned. Ac eto, mae'n ofynnol i bob prosiect nodi'r manteision lluosog yr ydym yn eu gwneud. Rwy'n sylweddoli, i rai sefydliadau, fod symud oddi wrth gyllid craidd i fodel sy'n fwy seiliedig ar brosiectau a chanlyniadau yn gyflymach, efallai, nag a ddisgwylid yn wreiddiol, ac achosodd bryder. Ond rydym yn caniatáu amser a chyllid i sefydliadau bontio a gweithredu'r cynllun ymadael y gofynnwyd iddynt ei sefydlu. Mae swyddogion yn parhau i gyfarfod â sefydliadau i egluro'r grant, ac rydym wedi bod yn glir iawn y gellir cynnwys yr hyn a ystyriwyd yn gyllid craidd yn y gorffennol yn y ceisiadau am grantiau yn y dyfodol, ac mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud y bu'r adborth a gafwyd drwy swyddogion a gennyf fi drwy ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid yn gadarnhaol iawn. Dyma ffenestr gyntaf cyllid ENRaW. Mae pob prosiect ar raddfa fawr wedi cael llythyrau 'bwrw ymlaen yn bwyllog', ac roedd yn ofynnol iddynt lunio'r cynlluniau cyflawni manwl hynny y gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio atynt, ac roedd y cynlluniau hynny'n seiliedig ar eu ceisiadau gwreiddiol, ac efallai'n canolbwyntio mwy ar y ddarpariaeth weithredol. Mae'n hollbwysig ein bod yn gwrando ar randdeiliaid, ac fel y dywedais, wrth symud ymlaen at y Llywodraeth newydd pan fyddant yn bwrw ymlaen â'r cynllun datblygu gwledig yn y dyfodol - mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn ceisio dysgu o'r cynllun datblygu gwledig presennol, ac mae hefyd yn bwysig iawn ein bod yn gweithredu yng nghyd-destun ein blaenoriaethau ein hunain yma yn Llywodraeth Cymru. Ac yn sicr mae'n rhaid i'r argyfwng hinsawdd fod yn rhan flaenllaw o hynny. Felly, mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn siarad ag ystod eang o randdeiliaid, nid dim ond y rhai y cyfeirioch chi atyn nhw, ond hefyd ein bod yn edrych ledled y byd ar arferion gorau i gyflwyno prosiectau newydd a sicrhau mai'r buddsoddiad hwnnw wedi'i dargedu sy'n cael y manteision a'r effaith fwyaf. Soniais am yr argyfwng hinsawdd. Yn amlwg, mae gennym ni argyfwng bioamrywiaeth hefyd. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae gennym ni Brexit i ymdrin ag ef. Felly, rwy'n credu nad oes modd mynd ati yn ôl yr arfer - nid yw hynny'n ddewis mwyach - ond mae'n rhaid inni ddysgu o'r cynllun datblygu gwledig presennol.
