These Regulations, which apply in relation to Wales, amend the Feeding Stuffs (Wales) Regulations 2006 ("the 2006 Regulations") and the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1999 ("the 1999 Regulations"). 2. The Regulations implement the following European Community legislation (a) Commission Directive 2005/6/EC (OJ No. L24, 27.1.2005, p.33) amending Directive 71/250/EEC as regards reporting and interpretation of analytical results required under Directive 2002/32/EC; (b) Commission Directive 2002/7/EC (OJ No. L27, 29.1.2005, p.41) amending Directive 2002/70/EC establishing requirements for the determination of levels of dioxins and dioxin like PCBs in feedingstuffs; and (c) Commission Directive 2002/8/EC (OJ No. L27, 29.1.2005, p.44) amending Annex 1 to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed. 3. The Regulations also make consequential amendments to the 1999 Regulations to reflect the fact that as from 1.1.2006 the general obligation on Member States, formerly contained in Council Directive 95/53/EC, to ensure that sampling and analysis carried out in pursuit of official controls follows prescribed Community methods, is now given CYNULLIAD CENEDLAETHOL CYMRU O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L 2006 Rhif 617 (Cy.69) AMAETHYDDIAETH, CYMRU Rheoliadau Bwydydd Anifeiliaid a Phorthiant (Samplu a Dadansoddi) (Diwygio) (Cymru) 2006 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau) 1.

Mae'r Rheoliadau hefyd yn gwneud diwygiadau canlyniadol i Reoliadau 1999 i adlewyrchu'r ffaith bod Erthygl 11 o Reoliad (EC) Rhif 882/2004 Senedd Ewrop a'r Cyngor ar reolaethau swyddogol a wneir i sicrhau gwirio y cydymffurfir â chyfraith bwyd anifeiliaid a bwyd, ac â rheolau iechyd anifeiliaid a lles 1 anifeiliaid (OJ Rhif L191, 28.5.2004, t.1) yn gwneud yn effeithiol, o 1.1.2006 ymlaen, y rhwymedigaeth gyffredinol sydd ar Aelod-wladwriaethau ac a gafwyd gynt yng Nghyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 95/53/EC, i sicrhau bod gwaith samplu a dadansoddi, sy'n cael ei wneud yn unol â rheolaethau swyddogol, yn dilyn dulliau Cymunedol a ragnodir. 4. Mae rheoliad 2 o'r Rheoliadau hyn yn rhoi ar waith Gyfarwyddeb y Comisiwn 2005/8/EC drwy ddiwygio Atodlen 5 i Reoliadau 2006 mewn perthynas â chofnodion penodol ynghylch plwm, fflworin a mercwri. 5.

Mae arfarniad rheoliadol o'r effaith y bydd yr offeryn hwn yn ei chael ar gostau busnes wedi ei baratoi a'i osod yn Llyfrgell Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru ynghyd â nodyn trosi sy'n nodi sut y trosir darpariaethau gweithredol Cyfarwyddebau'r Comisiwn 2005/6, 2005/7 a 2005/8 yn gyfraith ddomestig gan y Rheoliadau hyn.
