    PERTHYNAS CYMRU YN Y DYFODOL Â PHWYLLGOR Y RHANBARTHAU Mick Antoniw AC a Bethan Sayed AC Aelodau Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru ar Bwyllgor y Rhanbarthau Ionawr 2019 Perthynas Cymru yn y dyfodol â Phwyllgor y Rhanbarthau 1. Cyflwyniad Mae gan Gymru enw da yn Ewrop. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n cael ei pharchu ac mae ein haliniad polisi gydag Ewrop yn cael cryn gydnabyddiaeth. Fodd bynnag, nid yw'n ddigon cyd-dynnu'n dda â sefydliadau, llywodraethau, cyrff rhanbarthol, trefi a dinasoedd Ewrop. Mae arnom angen strategaeth sy'n golygu y gallwn baratoi ar gyfer perthynas ar ôl Brexit a fydd yn galluogi Cymru, drwy Lywodraeth Cymru, llywodraeth leol, busnesau a sefydliadau addysgol, i barhau i gael budd o'r trafodaethau yr ydym wedi eu cael, ac wedi eu cymryd yn ganiataol yn y gorffennol o bosibl. Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn canolbwyntio ar Bwyllgor y Rhanbarthau, sefydliad yr Undeb Ewropeaidd sy'n cynnwys cynrychiolaeth uniongyrchol o Gymru. Nid yw'n hysbys iawn y tu allan i gylchoedd gwleidyddol, ond mae'n fforwm polisi a gwleidyddol pwysig yn yr UE. Gellid dadlau, ysywaeth, ei fod yn sefydliad nad yw wedi sefydlu gwir hunaniaeth unigryw ac mae'n gweithredu ochr yn ochr â'r Comisiwn, y Cyngor Gweinidogion a Senedd yr UE. Mae gennym hefyd gynrychiolaeth ar nifer o gyrff a sefydliadau pwysig eraill yn yr UE, i'w gweld yn y rhestr isod. Pwyllgor y Rhanbarthau yw llais unigryw llywodraethau is-genedlaethol, rhanbarthol a lleol, ac mae'n cynnig cyfle i gynnal trafodaethau eang ar draws Ewrop gyda'r sefydliadau pwysicaf yn yr UE ac ar draws Ewrop.

Introduction Dame Rosemary Butler AM Presiding Officer I am delighted to introduce the 30th issue of Europe Matters, our update on the work of the National Assembly for Wales on European issues. It was a privilege and an honour to participate on 16 August at the inauguration of the Welsh Memorial in Langemark, Flanders, to the Welsh soldiers who lost their lives in Flanders Fields during the First World War. Over 1,000 people from Wales and Flanders attended the ceremony, including the three leaders of the opposition parties in the Assembly, Andrew RT Davies AM, Leanne Wood AM and Kirsty Williams AM, and of course the First Minister Carwyn Jones AM. I and my fellow Commissioners, Sandy Mewies AM and Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM, will attend a special commemoration in Flanders next month, at the invite of the President of the Flemish Parliament Jan Peumans. This is another example of the strong co-operation and warmth between our two nations.
