EXPLANATORY NOTE

(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)


Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Hadau Betys 1993, O.S. 1993/2006, (fel y'i diwygiwyd gan O.S. 1997/616 a 1999/1861) ("Rheoliadau 1993"). Deuant i rym ar 29 Tachwedd 2001 ac maent yn gymwys i Gymru yn unig.

    (a) 98/95/EC (OJ Rhif L25, 1.2.1999, t.1) mewn perthynas â chyfuno'r farchnad fewnol, adnoddau planhigion a addaswyd yn enetig ac adnoddau genetig planhigion; a

Mae'r cyfarwyddebau mewn perthynas â marchnata hadau a ddiwygiwyd gan Gyfarwyddebau y Cyngor 98/95/EC a 98/96/EC yn cynnwys Cyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 66/400/EEC (OJ Rhif L125, 11.7.66, t.2290) ar farchnata hadau betys.

Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn  - 

    (a) yn diwygio diffiniadau yn rheoliad 3 (o Reoliadau 1993), gan gynnwys y diffiniadau o "marketing" ac "official examination", ac yn hepgor y diffiniad o "small package" (rheoliad 3);

    (b) yn diwygio rheoliad 5 mewn perthynas â marchnata (gan gynnwys marchnata hadau betys a addaswyd yn enetig) ac awdurdodiadau marchnata, profion a threialon, hadau fel y cânt eu tyfu, gwaith dethol a dibenion gwyddonol eraill; ac yn gwneud diwygiadau canlyniadol i reoliad 4 (rheoliadau 4 a 5);
