Roedd y posibilrwydd o gwblhau'r negodiadau cymhleth hyn yn ystod y cyfnod pontio bob amser yn mynd i fod yn her, ond mae argyfwng annisgwyl a thrychinebus Covid-19 wedi dwysáu anawsterau'r negodiadau. Fel Llywodraeth, gwyddom ei bod wedi bod yn amhosibl neilltuo'r adnoddau y byddem wedi dymuno eu neilltuo i’r trefniadau Pontio Ewropeaidd ar yr adeg hon, ac mae'n glir bod hynny'n wir hefyd am Lywodraeth y DU ac yn wir yr UE.
The prospect of completing these complex negotiations within the transition period was always going to be a challenge, but the wholly unforeseeable and tragic Covid crisis has only compounded the difficulties of the negotiations. As a Government we know it has been impossible to devote the resources we would have wished to European Transition at this time, and it is clear that is also true of the UK Government and indeed the EU.
