Cafwyd diweddariad hefyd ar negodiadau’r UE. Rhoddodd hyn gyfle imi bwyso ar Lywodraeth y DU i ymgysylltu â ni i drafod unrhyw gyfaddawdu posibl yng nghamau olaf y negodiadau. Pwysais hefyd am wybodaeth am faterion penodol, gan gynnwys rhwystrau technegol i fasnach a rheolau tarddiad, trefniadau cilyddol ar gyfer cydnabod cymwysterau proffesiynol a gwasanaethau, yn arbennig gwasanaethau sy’n gysylltiedig â nwyddau. Pwysleisiais unwaith eto pa mor hanfodol ydoedd i Lywodraeth y DU, yn ogystal â’r UE, ddangos digon o hyblygrwydd er mwyn sicrhau cytundeb.
The meeting also received an update on the EU negotiations. This gave me the opportunity to press the UK Government on engaging with us to discuss potential trade-offs in the final stages of the negotiations. I also pressed on specific matters including technical barriers to trade and rules of origin, the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications and services, particularly services linked to goods. I again stressed how essential it was that the UK Government, as well as the EU, showed sufficient flexibility to clinch an agreement.
