Rydym wedi dweud y byddai’r canlyniad hwnnw yn gwbl groes i safbwynt y DU yn y trafodaethau, sef y dylai’r Cronfeydd Strwythurol gael eu neilltuo i ranbarthau tlotaf yr UE ac y dylai’r DU roi cefnogaeth gref i newid cynnig van Rompuy a lleihau’r toriadau i ranbarthau llai datblygedig.  Rydym wedi dadlau hefyd y dylai Llywodraeth y DU ofyn am arian ychwanegol ar gyfer rhanbarthau tlotaf y DU (y Gorllewin a’r Cymoedd a hefyd Cernyw ac Ynysoedd Scilly) er mwyn lleihau effeithiau’r toriadau.  Dylai ystyried hefyd cynnig “rhwyd ddiogelwch” – sef na ddylid torri mwy na swm penodol yn y dyraniad i’r rhanbarthau o’r Cronfeydd Strwythurol.
We have stated that this outcome would be in direct contradiction of the agreed UK negotiating position to focus Structural Funds on the poorest regions in the EU and that the UK should be a strong advocate for amending the Van Rompuy proposal in order to limit the cuts in funding for less developed regions. We have also argued that the UK Government should seek additional payments for the poorest regions in the UK (West Wales and the Valleys and also Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly) in order to mitigate the effect of these proposed cuts and to consider proposing a “safety net” provision for these regions that would place a limit on the cuts that could be made in their allocation of Structural Funds.
