Rwy’n croesawu’r cyhoeddiad a wnaed ar 21 Tachwedd gan Lywodraeth y DU bod cytundeb mewn egwyddor wedi’i wneud ynghylch Cytundeb Masnach Rydd (FTA) rhwng y DU a Canada. Bydd Cytundeb Parhad Masnach y DU-Canada, os caiff ei gymeradwyo ac y daw i rym erbyn diwedd y cyfnod pontio, yn sicrhau y bydd y trefniadau masnachu presennol yn parhau heb fawr o newid i’n busnesau sydd eisoes yn masnachu â Chanada o dan delerau Cytundeb Economaidd a Masnach Cynhwysfawr UE-Canada. Bydd yn sicrhau na fydd angen i’r DU a Chanada droi at fasnachu o dan delerau’r WHO.  Byddai hynny yn sicr wedi amharu ar ein perthynas fasnachu â gwlad sy’n gyson ymhlith un o 20 o gyrchfannau allforio mwyaf Cymru.
I welcome the announcement made on 21 November by the UK Government that an in principle agreement has been reached on a UK-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA).  The UK-Canada Trade Continuity Agreement, if ratified and brought into force by the end of the transition period, will ensure current trading arrangements continue with minimal changes for our businesses already trading with Canada under the terms of the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).  It will ensure that we avoid a situation where the UK and Canada revert to trading on WTO terms.  This situation would undoubtedly have damaged our trading relationship with a country that consistently features in the top 20 of Wales’ export destinations.
