1.  Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn, sy'n gymwys i Gymru yn unig, yn gwneud diwygiadau pellach i Reoliadau Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997 (OS 1997/2965, fel y'u diwygiwyd eisoes) ac i Orchymyn Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997 (OS 1997/2964, fel y'i diwygiwyd eisoes). Mae Rheoliadau Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997 (“y prif Reoliadau”) yn gymwys i Brydain Fawr gyfan.

Diwygiadau i Reoliadau Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997

2.  Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn adlewyrchu yng Nghymru ddarpariaethau Atodiad XI i Reoliad (EC) Rhif 999/2001 o Senedd Ewrop a'r Cyngor sy'n gosod rheolau ar gyfer atal, rheoli a chael gwared ar rai enseffalopathïau sbyngffurf trosglwyddadwy (OJ Rhif L147, 31.5.2001, t.1). Mae'r Atodiad hwnnw yn gosod mesurau trosiannol mewn perthynas â thynnu deunydd risg penodedig ac fe'i mewnosodwyd yn Rheoliad (EC) Rhif 999/2001 gan Erthygl 3 o Reoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 1326/2001 (OJ Rhif L177, 30.6.2001, t.60).

3.  Mae'r diwygiadau sylweddol sy'n cael eu gwneud gan y Rheoliadau hyn i'r prif Reoliadau fel a ganlyn:—

(a)yng ngoleuni'r mesurau trosiannol y cyfeirir atynt uchod

(i)mae rheoliad 3 o'r prif Reoliadau (sy'n diffinio “specified sheep and goat material”) yn cael ei ddiwygio i hepgor o'r diffiniad ddeunydd sy'n deillio o ddefaid a geifr a anwyd, a fagwyd yn barhaus ac a gigyddwyd mewn rhai trydydd gwledydd (rheoliad 2(4) a (5));

(ii)mae rheoliad 4 o'r prif Reoliadau (sy'n diffinio “specified bovine material”) yn cael ei ddiwygio'n sylweddol fel bod, yn benodol, deunydd sy'n deillio o anifeiliaid buchol a anwyd, a fagwyd yn barhaus ac a gigyddwyd mewn rhai trydydd gwledydd bellach y tu allan i gwmpas y diffiniad (rheoliad 2(6) i (8));

(iii)mae rheoliad 8 o'r prif Reoliadau (gwaharddiad sy'n gymwys i asgwrn cefn anifeiliaid sy'n cnoi cil) yn cael ei ddisodli gan ddarpariaeth sy'n gwahardd defnyddio esgyrn buchod, defaid a geifr wrth gynhyrchu cig sy'n cael ei adfer yn fecanyddol (rheoliad 2(10)) ac mae rheoliad 9 (cofrestru safleoedd lle mae cig yn cael ei adfer drwy gyfrwng mecanyddol o anifeiliaid sy'n cnoi cil) yn cael ei ddiddymu (rheoliad 2(11));

(iv)mae rheoliad newydd, 15A, sy'n ymdrin â dull trin carcasau a fewnforir sy'n cynnwys esgyrn cefn sy'n ddeunydd buchol penodedig, yn cael ei fewnosod yn y prif Reoliadau (rheoliad 2(12)); a

(b)gyda golwg ar y diwygiad a wnaed i reoliad 26 o'r prif Reoliadau gan Ddeddf Safonau Bwyd 1999 (Darpariaethau Trosiannol a Chanlyniadol ac Eithriadau) (Cymru a Lloegr) 2000 (OS 2000/656), mae'r rheoliad hwnnw'n cael ei ddiwygio ymhellach i alluogi'r Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd neu Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i roi cyfarwyddiadau ynghylch gwaredu deunydd risg penodedig (rheoliad 2(13) a (14)).

4.  Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn hefyd yn gwneud diwygiadau canlyniadol i'r prif Reoliadau yng ngoleuni rhai o'r diwygiadau sylweddol y cyfeirir atynt uchod a deddfu Deddf Safonau Bwyd 1999 (1999 p.28) (rheoliad 2(2), (3) a (9)).

Diwygiadau i Orchymyn Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997

5.  Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gwneud diwygiadau pellach i Orchymyn Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997 (OS 1997/2964, fel y'i diwygiwyd eisoes ) i'r graddau y mae'n gymwys i Gymru. Mae Gorchymyn Deunydd Risg Penodedig 1997 (“y prif Orchymyn”) yn gymwys i Brydain Fawr gyfan.

6.  Mae'r diwygiadau sy'n cael eu gwneud gan y Rheoliadau hyn i'r prif Orchymyn yn adlewyrchu darpariaethau Atodiad XI i Reoliad (EC) Rhif 999/2001 Senedd Ewrop a'r Cyngor sy'n gosod rheolau ar gyfer atal, rheoli a chael gwared ar rai enseffalopathïau sbyngffurf trosglwyddadwy (OJ Rhif L147, 31.5.2001, t.1). Gosododd yr Atodiad hwnnw fesurau trosiannol mewn perthynas â thynnu deunydd risg penodedig ac fe'i mewnosodwyd yn Rheoliad (EC) Rhif 999/2001 gan Erthygl 3 o Reoliad y Comisiwn (EC) Rhif 1326/2001 (OJ Rhif L177, 30.6.2001, t.60).

7.  Yn erthygl 2 o'r prif Orchymyn, mae diffiniad o “vertebral column” yn cael ei ychwanegu ar ddiwedd paragraff 1 a pharagraff 5 newydd yn cael ei ychwanegu (rheoliad 3(2) a (3)).

8.  Mae erthygl 3 o'r prif Orchymyn (sy'n diffinio “specified sheep and goat material”) yn cael ei diwygio i hepgor o'r diffiniad ddeunydd sy'n deillio o ddefaid a geifr a anwyd, a fagwyd yn barhaus ac a gigyddwyd mewn rhai trydydd gwledydd (rheoliad 3(4) a (5)).

9.  Mae rheoliad 4 o'r prif Orchymyn (sy'n diffinio “specified bovine material”) yn cael ei ddiwygio'n sylweddol fel bod, yn benodol, deunydd sy'n deillio o anifeiliaid buchol a anwyd, a fagwyd yn barhaus ac a gigyddwyd mewn rhai trydydd gwledydd bellach y tu allan i gwmpas y diffiniad (rheoliad 3(6) i (8));

10.  Mae Erthygl 6 o'r prif Orchymyn (sy'n rheoli mewnforio deunydd risg penodedig) yn cael ei diwygio i osod gofynion newydd ynghylch mewnforio carcasau anifeiliaid buchol sy'n cynnwys esgyrn cefn sy'n ddeunydd risg penodedig, ac mae ffurf newydd ar dystysgrif fewnforio yn cael ei rhoi yn lle'r hen un yn Atodlen 2 (rheoliad 3(9) a (10)).

11.  Mae arfarniad rheoliadol ar gyfer y Rheoliadau hyn wedi'i baratoi yn unol ag adran 65 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru 1998 (1998 p.38) ac wedi'i roi yn llyfrgell Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru.
