English: I thank the Member for those questions. Much of what I have said this afternoon has been critical of the UK Government, and rightly so. So, let me try and make a small number of more positive points, and first of all to say that, with the technical notices, Welsh Government officials did have an opportunity to read and comment on those notices during the period of preparation. So, we didn't simply see them on the day that they were published. We were able to make sure that they were accurate from a Welsh perspective, and therefore we have had a greater level of involvement in their preparation than we have in some other examples of European Union negotiation matters. As far as the JMC last week is concerned, I did spend the bulk of what I had to say reflecting the agenda of that meeting, because it dealt separately with developments in relation to the proposed deal for the Chequers White Paper. We had a discussion with the new Secretary of State at the Brexit department about the many meetings that he had held over the summer with the EU on that matter. We had a substantive discussion in relation to preparation for a 'no deal' and the technical notices and other preparations that the UK Government is conducting, and we had an opportunity to review the progress made in relation to framework discussions. Does the forum provide a proper place where there is genuine engagement on a sense of parity participation? No, it doesn't, and I've said that this afternoon - it has to be reformed and improved - but was it a worthwhile encounter? Yes, it was, because it allowed me as the Welsh Government representative, and indeed my Scottish colleague Mike Russell, to make a series of important points representing the interests of our nations, and it was worth while from that point of view. And it is the first of a series of JMCs that are now timetabled through the autumn, and that's an improvement as well, where we have a series of agreed dates in advance that allow us to be more involved in prior preparation for those meetings. So, they are by no means perfect but they remain a place where we take every opportunity to advance Welsh interests. Thanks to David Rees for pointing out an area that I wasn't able to cover in the statement, and that is the continuing work that we are doing to identify those regions in the European Union with whom we will want to have particular relationships the other side of the European Union. I was lucky enough to be able to welcome a delegation here from the Basque Country, returning visits that I had made and that Lesley Griffiths had made. The President of the Basque Country was here earlier in the summer, and that's a very important region for the future of us in Wales. The First Minister has visited a number of other regions over the summer period - part of that ongoing programme. In relation to regional policy, let me underline a point that the First Minister made earlier, because I think sometimes the importance of it isn't emphasised enough. When we, as a Welsh Government, say that provided money comes to us through whatever mechanism is agreed for the purposes that European funding is used today, we are providing a guarantee, in advance, of two things. First of all, the money will be kept for those purposes. It will not simply just become absorbed in the wider Welsh Government budget. We get money for rural Wales, we get money for the reform of our economy. The money will be kept for those purposes, and we don't say that about other money that comes to the Welsh Government. We always say, quite rightly, that it comes through Barnett, but it goes into the pot and we decide. And we are prepared to offer a multi-annual guarantee. In other words, because the European Union money comes with seven years' worth of guarantee and allows people to plan ahead for their futures, we would provide the same guarantee here in Wales for money that came for those purposes from the UK Government. Neither of those things do we say in other contexts. The First Minister repeated some of that here this afternoon, and I'll be reflecting that, I hope, in a statement that I hope to be able to make in the next few weeks here on the floor of the Assembly on the future of regional policy.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiynau hynny. Mae llawer o'r hyn yr wyf wedi'i ddweud y prynhawn yma wedi bod yn feirniadol o Lywodraeth y DU, a hynny'n gwbl briodol. Felly, gadewch imi geisio gwneud ychydig o bwyntiau mwy cadarnhaol, a dweud yn gyntaf, gyda'r hysbysiadau technegol, y rhoddwyd cyfle i swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru ddarllen a rhoi sylwadau ar yr hysbysiadau hynny yn ystod y cyfnod paratoi. Felly, nid ar ddiwrnod eu cyhoeddi y gwnaethom eu gweld. Fe wnaethom ni lwyddo i wneud yn siŵr eu bod yn gywir o safbwynt Cymru, ac felly rydym ni wedi cyfrannu'n fwy at eu paratoi nag a wnaethom mewn enghreifftiau eraill o faterion negodi yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. O ran Cydbwyllgor y Gweinidogion yr wythnos diwethaf, fe wnes i dreulio y rhan fwyaf o'r hyn yr oedd gennyf i'w ddweud yn adlewyrchu agenda y cyfarfod hwnnw, oherwydd roedd yn ymdrin ar wahân â datblygiadau o ran y fargen arfaethedig ar gyfer Papur Gwyn Chequers. Cawsom drafodaeth gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol newydd yn yr adran Brexit am y cyfarfodydd niferus yr oedd yntau wedi eu cynnal dros yr haf â'r UE ar y mater hwnnw. Cawsom drafodaeth sylweddol ynghylch gwaith paratoi ar gyfer 'dim bargen' a'r hysbysiadau technegol a'r paratoadau eraill y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn eu cynnal, a chawsom ni gyfle i adolygu'r cynnydd a wnaed o ran trafodaethau fframwaith. A yw'r fforwm yn darparu man priodol lle ceir ymgysylltu gwirioneddol ac ymdeimlad bod rhywun yn cymryd rhan ar dir gwastad? Nac ydy, ac rwyf wedi dweud hynny y prynhawn yma - mae angen ei ddiwygio a'i wella - ond a oedd y cyfarfod yn werthfawr? Oedd, oherwydd roedd yn caniatáu i mi fel cynrychiolydd Llywodraeth Cymru, ac, yn wir, fy nghyd-Aelod o'r Alban, Mike Russell, wneud cyfres o bwyntiau pwysig sy'n cynrychioli buddiannau ein gwledydd, ac roedd yn werthfawr yn hynny o beth. A dyma'r cyntaf o gyfres o gyfarfodydd Cyd-bwyllgor y Gweinidogion sydd wedi eu hamserlennu erbyn hyn yn nhymor yr hydref, ac mae hynny'n welliant hefyd, lle mae gennym ni gyfres o ddyddiadau y cytunwyd arnyn nhw ymlaen llaw sy'n ein galluogi i gyfrannu'n fwy trwy baratoi ymlaen llaw ar gyfer y cyfarfodydd hynny. Felly, nid ydynt yn berffaith o bell ffordd, ond maen nhw'n parhau i fod yn fan lle gallwn ni fanteisio ar bob cyfle i hybu buddiannau Cymru. Diolch i David Rees am grybwyll maes nad oeddwn i wedi gallu ei drafod yn y datganiad, sef y gwaith parhaus yr ydym ni'n ei wneud i nodi'r rhanbarthau hynny yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yr ydym ni'n dymuno perthynas arbennig â nhw ar ôl ymadael â'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Roeddwn yn ddigon ffodus i allu croesawu dirprwyaeth yma o Wlad y Basg, yn dilyn ymweliadau gennyf i a gan Lesley Griffiths. Roedd Arlywydd Gwlad y Basg yma yn gynharach yn yr haf, ac mae hwnnw'n rhanbarth pwysig iawn ar gyfer ein dyfodol ni yma yng Nghymru. Mae Prif Weinidog Cymru wedi ymweld â nifer o ranbarthau eraill dros yr haf - yn rhan o'r rhaglen barhaus honno. O ran polisi rhanbarthol, gadewch imi bwysleisio sylw y gwnaeth y Prif Weinidog yn gynharach, oherwydd rwy'n credu weithiau na cheir digon o bwyslais ar ei bwysigrwydd. Pan fyddwn ni, Llywodraeth Cymru, yn dweud ar yr amod y daw arian atom ni drwy ba ddull bynnag y cytunwyd arno, at y dibenion y defnyddir Cyllid Ewropeaidd ar eu cyfer heddiw, rydym ni'n rhoi gwarant, ymlaen llaw, o ddau beth. Yn gyntaf, y cedwir yr arian at y dibenion hynny. Ni chaiff ei amsugno i gyllideb ehangach Llywodraeth Cymru. Rydym ni'n cael arian ar gyfer cefn gwlad Cymru, rydym ni'n cael arian i ddiwygio ein heconomi. Caiff yr arian ei gadw at y dibenion hynny, ac nid ydym ni'n dweud hynny am arian arall sy'n dod i Lywodraeth Cymru. Rydym ni bob amser yn dweud, yn gwbl briodol, y daw drwy fformiwla Barnett, ond mae'n mynd i'r pot ac rydym ni'n penderfynu. Ac rydym ni'n barod i gynnig gwarant amlflwydd. Mewn geiriau eraill, gan fod arian yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yn dod â gwerth saith mlynedd o warant ac yn galluogi pobl i gynllunio ar gyfer eu dyfodol, byddem yn rhoi'r un sicrwydd yma yng Nghymru ar gyfer arian a ddaw at y dibenion hynny gan Lywodraeth y DU. Nid ydym ni'n dweud yr un o'r pethau hynny mewn cyd-destunau eraill. A iladroddodd y Prif Weinidog rywfaint o hynny yma y prynhawn yma, a byddaf yn adlewyrchu hynny, rwy'n gobeithio, mewn datganiad yr wyf yn gobeithio y gallaf ei wneud yn yr wythnosau nesaf yma ar lawr y Cynulliad ar ddyfodol polisi rhanbarthol.
