Plant Health (Fees) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (W.S.I. No. 777 (W. 61) of 2015)

O F F E R Y N N A U S T A T U D O L C Y M R U 2015 Rhif 777 (Cy. 61) IECHYD PLANHIGION, CYMRU Rheoliadau Iechyd Planhigion (Ffioedd) (Cymru) (Diwygio) 2015 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw’r nodyn hwn yn rhan o’r Rheoliadau) Mae’r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Iechyd Planhigion (Ffioedd) (Cymru) 2014 (O.S. 2014/1792 (Cy. 185)) (“y prif Reoliadau”). Mae’r prif Reoliadau yn gweithredu Erthygl 13d o Gyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 2000/29/EC ar fesurau i amddiffyn rhag dwyn i mewn i’r Gymuned organebau sy’n niweidiol i blanhigion neu gynhyrchion planhigion a rhag i’r organebau hynny ymledu o fewn y Gymuned (OJ Rhif L 169, 10.7.2000, t. 1) (“y Gyfarwyddeb”). Mae Erthygl 13d o’r Gyfarwyddeb yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol bod Aelod Wladwriaethau yn codi ffioedd i dalu am gostau’r gwiriadau dogfennol, gwiriadau adnabod a gwiriadau iechyd planhigion mewn perthynas â mewnforion penodol o blanhigion, cynhyrchion planhigion a gwrthrychau eraill o drydydd gwledydd a nodir yn Atodiad V, Rhan B o’r Gyfarwyddeb. Mae rheoliad 3 yn diwygio rheoliad 2(3) o’r prif Reoliadau er mwyn egluro’r ffioedd sy’n daladwy mewn perthynas â gwiriadau iechyd planhigion a wneir ar lwythi (neu rannau o lwythi) y tu allan i oriau gwaith yn ystod y dydd. Mae Atodlen 2 i’r prif Reoliadau yn nodi’r ffioedd cyfradd ostyngol ar gyfer planhigion a chynhyrchion planhigion penodol sy’n ddarostyngedig i wiriadau iechyd planhigion lefel is a gytunwyd o dan y weithdrefn y darperir ar ei chyfer yn Erthyglau 13a(2) a 18(2) o’r Gyfarwyddeb. Mae rheoliad 4 o’r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Atodlen 2 er mwyn rhoi effaith i’r hysbysiad a gyhoeddwyd gan y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd ar 30 Medi 2014 am y gwiriadau iechyd planhigion lefel is sy’n gymwys i blanhigion a chynhyrchion planhigion penodol. W E L S H S T A T U T O R Y I N S T R U M E N T S 2015 No. 777 (W. 61) PLANT HEALTH, WALES The Plant Health (Fees) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Plant Health (Fees) (Wales) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/1792 (W. 185)) (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations implement Article 13d of Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (OJ No L 169, 10.7.2000, p. 1) (“the Directive”). Article 13d of the Directive requires Member States to charge fees to cover the costs of documentary, identity and plant health checks of certain imports of plants, plant products and other objects from third countries set out in Annex V, Part B of the Directive. Regulation 3 amends regulation 2(3) of the principal Regulations to clarify the fees that are payable in respect of plant health checks which are carried out on consignments (or parts of consignments) outside daytime working hours. Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations sets out reduced rate fees for certain plants and plant products which are subject to reduced levels of plant health checks agreed under the procedure provided for in Articles 13a(2) and 18(2) of the Directive. Regulation 4 of these Regulations amends Schedule 2 to give effect to the notification published by the European Commission on 30 September 2014 of the reduced levels of plant health checks which are applicable to certain plants and plant products. Mae’r cyfraddau arolygu ar gyfer Citrus o Dunisia ac Uruguay wedi cynyddu (o 25% i 75% ac o 15% i 75% yn y drefn honno) ac mae’r ffioedd wedi codi i gyfateb â hynny. Nid yw ffrwythau Mangifera o Frasil yn gymwys mwyach ar gyfer ffioedd cyfradd ostyngol gan fod y nwydd hwn yn ddarostyngedig i gyfradd arolygu o 100%. Mae’r cofnod perthnasol, felly, wedi ei dynnu o Atodlen 2 ac mae’r ffioedd yn Atodlen 1 i’r prif Reoliadau yn cael eu cymhwyso i’r llwythi hyn. Mae cyfraddau arolygu’r canlynol wedi gostwng ac mae’r ffioedd wedi gostwng i gyfateb â hynny: Rosa o Zambia (o 25% i 15%), Citrus o Fecsico a Pheriw (o 15% i 10%), Prunus o Dwrci ac UDA (15% i 10%), Psidium o Frasil (o 100% i 75%) a Pyrus o Chile (o 25% i 15%). Mae ffrwythau Capsicum o Foroco yn gymwys ar gyfer ffi ar gyfradd ostyngol sy’n cyfateb i’w cyfradd arolygu o 10%. Mae’r ffi ostyngol ar gyfer y nwydd hwn wedi ei hychwanegu at Atodlen 2. Ystyriwyd Cod Ymarfer Gweinidogion Cymru ar gynnal Asesiadau Effaith Rheoleiddiol mewn perthynas â’r Rheoliadau hyn. O ganlyniad, ystyriwyd nad oedd angen cynnal asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol o’r costau a’r manteision sy’n debygol o ddeillio o gydymffurfio â’r Rheoliadau hyn. The inspection rates for Citrus from Tunisia and Uruguay have increased (from 25% to 75% and 15% to 75% respectively) with matching increases in fees. Fruit of Mangifera from Brazil are no longer eligible for reduced rate fees since this commodity is subject to an inspection rate of 100%. Accordingly, the relevant entry is removed from Schedule 2 and the fees in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations are applied to these consignments. The inspection rates for the following have decreased with matching decreases in fees: Rosa from Zambia (from 25% to 15%), Citrus from Mexico and Peru (from 15% to 10%), Prunus from Turkey and the USA (15% to 10%), Psidium from Brazil (from 100% to 75%) and Pyrus from Chile (from 25% to 15%). Fruit of Capsicum from Morocco are eligible for a reduced rate fee corresponding to its inspection rate of 10%. The reduced rate fee for this commodity is added to Schedule 2. The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. 2 O F F E R Y N N A U S T A T U D O L C Y M R U 2015 Rhif 777 (Cy. 61) IECHYD PLANHIGION, CYMRU Rheoliadau Iechyd Planhigion (Ffioedd) (Cymru) (Diwygio) 2015 Gwnaed 17 Mawrth 2015 Gosodwyd gerbron Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru 19 Mawrth 2015 Yn dod i rym 9 Ebrill 2015 Mae Gweinidogion Cymru yn gwneud y Rheoliadau hyn, gyda chydsyniad y Trysorlys, drwy arfer y pwerau a roddwyd gan adran 56(1) o Ddeddf Cyllid 1973(1) ac a freiniwyd bellach ynddynt hwy(2).
