(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)
Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn, sy'n dod i rym ar 1 Ebrill 2004, yn diwygio Rheoliadau Cwotâu Cynnyrch Llaeth (Cymru) 2002 (O.S. 2002/897 (Cy.103)). Maent yn gymwys o ran cynhyrchwyr, prynwyr a phersonau perthnasol eraill y mae Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru yn awdurdod cymwys perthnasol mewn perthynas â hwy sef fel y diffinnir “the relevant competent authority” gan Reoliadau Cwotâu Cynnyrch Llaeth (Darpariaethau Cyffredinol) 2002 (O.S. 2002/458). Gall y daliadau y mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gymwys iddynt gynnwys tir mewn rhannau eraill o'r Deyrnas Unedig y tu allan i Gymru.
Mae'r Rheoliadau'n gweithredu Rheoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 1788/2003 sy'n sefydlu ardoll yn y sector llaeth a chynhyrchion llaeth (OJ Rhif L270, 21.10.2003, t.123) a hefyd ddyfarniad Llys Cyfiawnder Ewrop yn achos C-401/99 Peter Heinrich Thomsen v Amt für ländliche Räume Husum [2002] ECR I-5775. Cadarnhaodd dyfarniad Thomsen, mewn perthynas â lesydd pan ddaw les i ben, yn gyffredinol dim ond “cynhyrchydd” a gaiff ddal y cwota llaeth hwnnw sef “producer” o fewn ystyr yr hyn sydd bellach yn Erthygl 5(c) o Reoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 1788/2003.
Mae'r Rheoliadau —
(a)yn disodli'r diffiniadau o “Council Regulation” a “Scottish Islands area” (rheoliad 5);
(b)yn parhau i gyfyngu ar y cwota sy'n cael ei ddal yn ardaloedd Ynysoedd yr Alban i'w ddefnyddio yn yr ardaloedd hynny (rheoliad 6);
(c)yn gwneud darpariaeth gyffredinol ar gyfer trosglwyddo cwota, o fewn pob ardal gwota yn y Deyrnas Unedig, heb drosglwyddo tir (rheoliad 7);
(ch)yn cynnal rhwymedigaethau cofrestru ar gyfer y rhai nad ydynt yn cynhyrchu a marchnata llaeth nes bod eu cwota wedi cael ei drosglwyddo neu ei dynnu'n ôl (rheoliadau 8 a 9);
(d)yn estyn i danddywediadau, y cosbau gweinyddol am grynodebau anghywir oddi wrth brynwyr a datganiadau anghywir gan werthwyr uniongyrchol sydd ar hyn o bryd yn gymwys i orddywediadau yn unig (rheoliadau 10 a 11);
(dd)yn adolygu'r darpariaethau ar atafaelu ac adfer cwota drwy gymhwyso'r terfyn amser a ragnodwyd ar gyfer adfer gan Reoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 1788/2003, drwy gyfyngu ar ddal cwota i gynhyrchwyr, drwy ddiweddaru'r cyfeiriadau at Reoliad y Cyngor, a thrwy wneud newidiadau gweinyddol (rheoliadau 12 a 13);
(e)yn diweddaru gweddill y cyfeiriadau at Reoliad y Cyngor (rheoliad 14 ac Atodlen 1);
(f)yn gwneud mân ddiwygiadau pellach (rheoliad 15 ac Atodlen 2).
Mae copi o'r map y cyfeirir ato yn y diffiniad o “Scottish Islands area” ar gael i'w archwilio yn swyddfeydd Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru, Adran yr Amgylchedd, Cynllunio a Chefn Gwlad, Adeiladau'r Goron, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd ac yn swyddfeydd Adran Materion Amgylcheddol a Gwledig Gweithrediaeth yr Alban, Pentland House, 47 Robb’s Loan, Caeredin, EH4 1TY.
Mae arfarniad rheoliadol wedi'i baratoi ac mae ar gael i'w archwilio yn swyddfeydd y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn y cyfeiriad a nodir uchod.
Yn rhinwedd Gorchymyn y Cymunedau Ewropeaidd (Dynodi) (Rhif 3) Gorchymyn 1999 (O.S. 1999/2788) (“y Gorchymyn”). Mae pŵer y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol, fel corff sydd wedi'i ddynodi mewn perthynas â pholisi amaethyddol cyffredin y Gymuned Ewropeaidd, i wneud rheoliadau sy'n gymwys i ddaliadau amaethyddol sy'n cynnwys tir sydd wedi'i leoli o fewn y Deyrnas Unedig ond sydd y tu allan i Gymru wedi'i gadarnhau gan baragraff 2(b) o Atodlen 2 i'r Gorchymyn.
