Cafodd Llywodraeth Cymru ei chynrychioli yng nghyfarfod y Cyngor Pysgodfeydd eleni, a gynhaliwyd ar 15 ac 16 Rhagfyr ym Mrwsel. Roedd y trafodaethau yng nghyfarfod y Cyngor yn rhai dwys ac yn arbennig o anodd eleni, a hynny yng ngoleuni cynigion a allai fod wedi arwain at doriadau sylweddol i gwotâu sy’n hanfodol bwysig i bysgotwyr Cymru. Cafodd rhai penderfyniadau anodd eu gwneud, ond bu’n cyfraniad ni o gymorth i sicrhau pecyn o gyfleoedd pysgota ar gyfer 2015 sydd nid yn unig yn dilyn y cyngor gwyddonol ond hefyd yn diwallu’r angen i sicrhau ein bod yn pysgota mewn modd cynaliadwy yn ein dyfroedd arfordirol.
The Welsh Government was represented at this year’s Fisheries Council which was held over December 15 and 16 in Brussels. The discussions at Council were intense and have been particularly difficult this year, set as they were against the background of proposals which could have resulted in significant cuts of quotas vitally important to Welsh fishermen. Some difficult decisions were made but our input helped deliver a package of fishing opportunities in 2015 that follows both the scientific advice and need to ensure sustainable fishing in our coastal waters.
