Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn, sy'n dod i rym ar 29 Tachwedd 2000, yn diwygio ymhellach Reoliadau Cwotâu Cynhyrchion Llaeth 1997 (O.S. 1997/733) (“y prif Reoliadau”) i'r graddau y maent yn gymwys i Gymru.

(b)yn dileu Islay o'r trefniadau cwota llaeth penodol sy'n gymwys i Ynysoedd yr Alban (rheoliad 3(b)) ac yn egluro i ba raddau ac ym mha ffordd y mae'r trefniadau hynny'n gymwys (rheoliad 4);

(ch)drwy reoliad 6(4A) newydd o'r prif Reoliadau, yn egluro pwy sy'n cael caniatâd, ai prynwr gwreiddiol ynteu prynwr newydd llaeth cynhyrchydd, i wneud cais i'w gwota gael ei addasu o ganlyniad i newidiadau dilynol yn lefel nodweddiadol y braster a geir yn llaeth y cynhyrchydd hwnnw (rheoliad 5(c));
(d)yn dileu'r gofyniad (gynt yn rheoliad 11(5) o'r prif Reoliadau), a oedd yn gymwys yn achos trosglwyddo cwota heb drosglwyddo tir hefyd, ar ôl i'r trosglwyddiad gael ei gymeradwyo gan y Bwrdd Ymyrraeth, i'r trosglwyddai ddarparu datganiad i'r Bwrdd ynghylch y cwota a ddefnyddid a'r cwota nas defnyddid a oedd ar gael iddo ef ac i'r trosglwyddwr ar ddyddiad y trosglwyddiad (rheoliad 6(c));
(dd)drwy reoliad 11(7) diwygiedig yn y prif Reoliadau, yn ymestyn gallu'r Bwrdd Ymyrraeth i ryddhau trosglwyddai o'i ymrywmiad, fel bod y pŵ er yn gymwys nid yn unig lle mae amgylchiadau eithriadol yn arwain at ostyngiad sylweddol yn y llaeth sy'n cael ei gynhyrchu, ond hefyd lle maent yn arwain at fethiant sylweddol â sicrhau cynnydd a gynlluniwyd yn y llaeth sy'n cael ei gynhyrchu (rheoliad 6(d));

(f)yn galluogi'r Bwrdd Ymyrraeth, yng nghyd-destun penderfyniad i drosi cwota cynhyrchydd yn barhaol ac os bydd amgylchiadau eithriadol wedi arwain at ostyngiad arwyddocaol yn y llaeth sy'n cael ei gynhyrchu neu fethiant arwyddocaol â sicrhau cynnydd a gynlluniwyd yn y llaeth sy'n cael ei gynhyrchu, i ryddhau'r cynhyrchydd hwnnw o'r cyfyngiad a fyddai fel arall yn ei atal rhag trosglwyddo allan gwota o'r math y mae wedi trosi iddo yn yr un flwyddyn gwota â'r un y digwyddodd y trosi hwnnw ynddi (rheoliad 8);
