Rwy’n credu y dylai’r drefn drawsgydymffurfio barhau i osod llinell sylfaen ofynnol, a ble y gofynnir i ffermwyr ddarparu gwelliannau amgylcheddol, bod y rhain yn perthyn yn well i gamau o dan golofn 2 ac echel 2 y Cynllun Datblygu Gwledig. Yng Nghymru, mae gennym ddulliau sefydledig o dan y Cynllun Datblygu Gwledig o roi cyllid ar gyfer gweithgareddau rheoli tir yn gynaliadwy. Dyna sut y datblygwyd cynllun Glastir. Mae’r Comisiwn, trwy ei gynnig i “hyrwyddo materion gwyrdd”, yn ceisio defnyddio dull cyffredinol nad yw’n ystyried y datblygiadau sydd wedi’u gwneud gan rai gwledydd fel Cymru. Ni fyddwn eisiau cyfyngu ar y  datblygiadau hyn, a byddaf yn disgwyl i’r Comisiwn gydnabod perfformiad a mentrau sydd eisoes wedi’u sefydlu i gefnogi gweithredu amgylcheddol gan ffermwyr.
I believe that the cross compliance regime should continue to set a minimum baseline and that where farmers are asked to provide environmental enhancements, these more properly belong to actions under pillar 2 and axis 2 of the Rural Development Plan regime. In Wales we have well established mechanisms under the Wales RDP to provide funding for farmers’ sustainable land management actions. That is the way that the Glastir scheme has been developed. The Commission, through its “greening” proposal, is attempting a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to recognise the progress made by certain individual countries such as Wales. I would not want that progress restricted and will be looking to the Commission to recognise past performance and initiatives already in place to support environmental action by farmers.
