Beth yw canlyniadau Llywodraeth Cymru yn methu â chyflawni ei dyletswydd statudol i sicrhau bod pob corff dŵr yng Nghymru yn cyflawni statws da o leiaf erbyn 2027 yn unol â Rheoliadau Amgylchedd Dŵr (Cyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dŵr) (Cymru a Lloegr) 2017?
The recently published Independent Water Commission Report was jointly commissioned by the Welsh Government and UK Government and is the most extensive review of the water sector in Wales and England since privatisation. The report has recognised that the environmental objectives of the Water Framework Directive are unlikely to be met. The report also notes that shortcomings in the 2017 Regulations have contributed to this failure. It recommends the need to consult on reforming the 2017 Regulations to bring them in line with public and environmental expectations. We are currently considering the recommendations set out in the report and will provide further detail on our intended approach this Autumn.
