Dechreuodd y cyfarfod gyda diweddariad ar faterion yn ymwneud â pharodrwydd. Roedd cytundeb cyffredinol fod y sefyllfa wedi gwella, gyda Llywodraeth y DU yn dechrau rhannu gwybodaeth fwy manwl am ei rhagdybiaethau a’i chynlluniau wrth gefn. Er hynny, tynnais sylw at y ffaith nad ydym wedi gweld y rhestr lawn o brosiectau parodrwydd eto. Gofynnais hefyd am wybodaeth am faterion yn ymwneud â rheoli ffiniau ym mhorthladdoedd Cymru, ac am gynlluniau Llywodraeth y DU ar gyfer mesurau i ysgogi’r economi ac i roi cymorth i sectorau a fyddai mewn perygl yn arbennig pe na bai’n llwyddo i sicrhau cytundeb masnach, yn ogystal â goblygiadau cyrraedd diwedd y cyfnod pontio heb gytundeb masnach ar gyfer cyflenwi bwyd a throsglwyddo data. Addawyd y byddai rhagor o drafodaethau yn cael eu cynnal ar y materion hyn.
The meeting began with an update on preparedness matters; there was general agreement that there had been an improvement with the UK Government starting to share more detailed information about their assumptions and contingency plans, although I highlighted that we are still yet to see the full list of preparedness projects. I also pressed for details relating to border control matters at the Welsh ports, and on the UK Government’s plans for economic stimulus measures and support for particularly at-risk sectors in the event of failing to agree a trade deal, as well as the implications of an end to the transition period without a trade deal for food supplies and data transfers. We were promised further discussions on these issues.
