Dyna yw bwriad y Broses Adolygu Technegol  rwy’n ei chyhoeddi heddiw. Bydd gan yr hawlwyr 30 diwrnod i ymateb ar ôl cael gwybod pa ranbarth talu maen nhw ynddo. Wrth ymateb, rhaid iddynt gyflwyno’u hachos gan ddatgan yn wrthrychol pam y dylai’r tir gael ei roi mewn rhanbarth gwahanol a rhaid rhoi tystiolaeth megis ffotograffau i gefnogi’r achos. Rwy’n gobeithio y bydd yn bosibl datrys y rhan fwyaf o achosion ar y cam hwnnw, ond os penderfynir bod y tir i aros yn y rhanbarth gwreiddiol byddai gan yr hawliwr 60 diwrnod arall i gomisiynu a darparu adroddiad technegol ar ansawdd y tir dan sylw. Byddai’n rhaid cael person cymwys i baratoi’r adroddiad technegol a byddai’r adroddiad, ynghyd â’r dystiolaeth wreiddiol ac unrhyw dystiolaeth arall, yn cael eu hystyried gan banel o arbenigwyr annibynnol gan gynnwys cynrychiolydd o’r undebau ffermio a chyrff rhanddeiliaid, academydd a swyddog o Lywodraeth Cymru sydd â hyfforddiant technegol. Y Panel fyddai’n gwneud y penderfyniad terfynol. Rwy’n gobeithio, ac yn grediniol, y bydd y broses hon yn datrys pob cais rhesymol i newid rhanbarth.
The Technical Review Process I am announcing today will achieve this.  Claimants will have 30 days to make representations about a payment region classification after RPW advises them of their provisional classifications.  Representations must put forward a case, objectively stating why the land should be reclassified and be supported by evidence such as photographs. In the first instance this will be considered by technically trained officials who will decide whether the land in question should be reclassified.  It is my hope that it should be possible to resolve most cases at this point.  However, should the decision be that the provisional classification stands, the claimant would have a further 60 days to commission and supply a technical report on the quality of the land in question, to be undertaken by a suitably qualified person.  That report, along with the original and any further evidence, would then be considered by an independent expert panel comprising a joint representative of the farming unions and stakeholder bodies, an academic, and a technically trained Welsh Government official.  The panel would make a final decision.  My hope and belief is that this process should address all reasonable claims for reclassification.
