Yng ngoleuni hyn, rwyf wedi penderfynu heddiw nad wyf am gynnig goddefiant cyfyngedig i ffermwyr Cymru nad ydynt yn cofnodi’r manylion adnabod unigol yn eu llyfrau cofnodion o ganlyniad i dagiau heb eu darllen mewn Canolfannau Cofnodi Canolog. Rwyf wedi gwneud y penderfyniad hwn ar ôl ystyried y goblygiadau i adnoddau o gyflwyno set ychwanegol o reolau cymhleth (i ffermwyr a swyddogion) y byddai’n rhaid i ni gyfathrebu â ffermwyr amdanynt, a’r ffaith na fyddai unrhyw ffermwyr yn gymwys am y goddefiant yn 2011, yn erbyn y risg o gosb ariannol o €3.4m i gyllidebau Cymru.
In light of this, I have today decided not to provide a limited tolerance for Welsh farmers who fail to record the individual identities in their record books as a result of missed reads at CPRC. I have made this decision having balanced the resource implications of introducing an additional complicated (for farmers and for officials) set of rules that we would have to be communicated to farmers and the fact that no farmers would qualify for the tolerance in 2011 set against the risk to Welsh budgets of potentially €3.4m disallowance.
