Mae rheoliad 4 yn diwygio rheoliad 14 o’r prif Reoliadau i orfodi’r ddarpariaeth drosiannol y darperir ar ei chyfer yn Erthygl 6 o Reoliad 2018/213. Nid yw person yn euog o’r drosedd o fethu â chydymffurfio â gofyniad yn Rheoliad (EU) Rhif 10/2011 ar ddeunyddiau ac eitemau plastig y bwriedir iddynt ddod i gysylltiad â bwyd (OJ Rhif L 12, 15.1.2011, t. 1) a bennir yng ngholofn 1 o Atodlen 1 i’r prif Reoliadau os rhoddwyd y deunydd neu eitem plastig ar y farchnad yn gyfreithlon cyn 6 Medi 2018.

Regulation 4 amends regulation 14 of the principal Regulations to enforce the transitional provision provided for in Article 6 of Regulation 2018/213. A person is not guilty of the offence of failing to comply with a requirement of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (OJ No L 12, 15.1.2011, p. 1) specified in column 1 of Schedule 1 of the principal Regulations if the plastic material or article was lawfully placed on the market before 6 September 2018. Such products may remain on the market until exhaustion of stocks. Regulation 5 inserts new regulations 17A to 17C into the principal Regulations to provide for the enforcement of the provisions of Regulation 2018/213 on the use of bisphenol A in varnishes and coatings intended to come into contact with food. New regulation 17B provides that subject to the transitional provision in Article 6 of Regulation 2018/213, any person who places on the market a material or article that fails to comply with Article 2 of that Regulation is guilty of an offence. Article 2 provides that no 2 blant ifanc ac, mewn perthynas â phob farnais ac araen arall y bwriedir iddynt ddod i gysylltiad â bwyd, na chaniateir i fwy na 0.05mg o bisffenol A gael ei ollwng fesul pob kg o fwyd y maent mewn cysylltiad ag ef. Mae rheoliad newydd 17C yn darparu mai’r Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd yw’r awdurdod cymwys at ddibenion Erthygl 4(3) o Reoliad 2018/213. Mae rheoliadau 6 a 7 yn diwygio’r prif Reoliadau i ddarparu bod person sy’n rhwystro’n fwriadol unrhyw berson sy’n gweithredu i roi Rheoliad 2018/213 ar waith yn cyflawni trosedd ac yn agored ar euogfarn ddiannod i ddirwy nad yw’n uwch na lefel 4 ar y raddfa safonol. Mae person sy’n euog o’r drosedd o fethu â chydymffurfio ag Erthygl 2 o Reoliad 2018/213 yn agored ar euogfarn ar dditiad i ddirwy ddiderfyn neu i garchariad am gyfnod nad yw’n hwy na dwy flynedd, neu’r ddau, neu ar euogfarn ddiannod, i ddirwy ddiderfyn. Mae rheoliadau 8 a 9 yn diwygio’r prif Reoliadau i alluogi swyddog awdurdodedig i’r awdurdod gorfodi i gyflwyno hysbysiad gwella i’w gwneud yn ofynnol i berson gydymffurfio ag Erthygl 4 o Reoliad 2018/213. Mae Erthygl 4 yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i weithredwyr busnes sicrhau bod deunyddiau ac eitemau sydd wedi eu farneisio neu eu haraenu ac y bwriedir iddynt ddod i gysylltiad â bwyd yn dod gyda datganiad ysgrifenedig o gydymffurfedd â Rheoliad 2018/213. Ystyriwyd Cod Ymarfer Gweinidogion Cymru ar gynnal Asesiadau Effaith Rheoleiddiol mewn perthynas â’r Rheoliadau hyn. O ganlyniad, lluniwyd asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol o’r costau a’r manteision sy’n debygol o ddeillio o gydymffurfio â’r Rheoliadau hyn.

New regulation 17C provides that the Food Standards Agency is the competent authority for the purposes of Article 4(3) of Regulation 2018/213. Regulations 6 and 7 amend the principal Regulations to provide that a person who intentionally obstructs any person acting in the execution of Regulation 2018/213 commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. A person guilty of the offence of failing to comply with Article 2 of Regulation 2018/213 is liable on conviction on indictment to an unlimited fine or to a term of imprisonment not exceeding two years, or both, or on summary conviction, to an unlimited fine. Regulations 8 and 9 amend the principal Regulations to enable an authorised officer of the enforcement authority to serve an improvement notice to require a person to comply with Article 4 of Regulation 2018/213. Article 4 requires business operators to ensure that varnished or coated materials and articles intended to come into contact with food are accompanied by a written declaration of compliance with Regulation 2018/213. The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
