Er mwyn diogelu’r amgylchedd a’r cyfalaf naturiol rydym i gyd yn dibynnu arnyn nhw ac er mwyn cynnal safonau Cymru, mae’n bwysig bod gennym reoliadau priodol sy’n gymesur ac effeithiol.  Rydym am wneud y rheoliadau’n fwy effeithiol a gwella profiad pobl ohonyn nhw.  Mae’r Papur Gwyn felly’n cynnwys cynigion ar gyfer diwygio rheoliadau amaethyddol yng Nghymru.  I symleiddio’r drefn reoleiddio, rwy’n cynnig dod â’r clytwaith o reoliadau amaethyddol ynghyd i greu set o Safonau Gofynnol Cenedlaethol, i’w gwneud yn haws i ffermwyr ddeall y gofynion cyfreithiol y mae’n rhaid iddynt gydymffurfio â nhw.  Rydym ni’n cynnig y dylai pob ffermwr yng Nghymru gadw at y Safonau Gofynnol Cenedlaethol hyn, gyda chyngor ac arweiniad i’w helpu.
To protect the environment and natural capital upon which we all depend and to maintain Welsh standards, it is also important we have appropriate regulation that is proportionate and effective. I want to improve the experience and effectiveness of regulation. The White Paper therefore includes proposals for regulatory reform of agriculture in Wales. To reduce the complexity of regulation, I propose to consolidate the patchwork of existing agricultural regulation into a set of National Minimum Standards, to make it easier for farmers to understand the legal requirements with which they must comply. We propose the National Minimum Standards would be applicable to all farmers in Wales, supported by advice and guidance.
