Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Hadau Llysiau (Cymru) 2005, O.S. 2005/3035 (Cy.223) (“y prif Reoliadau”) er mwyn gweithredu Cyfarwyddeb y Comisiwn 2009/145 (O.J. L312, 27.11.2009, t.44) (“y Gyfarwyddeb”). Mae'r Gyfarwyddeb yn darparu ar gyfer rhai rhanddirymiadau, ar gyfer derbyn amrywogaethau brodorol a botanegol o lysiau yr arferid, yn draddodiadol, eu tyfu mewn ardaloedd a rhanbarthau penodol ac sydd dan fygythiad oherwydd erydu genetig, ac amrywogaethau o lysiau nad oes iddynt werth cynhenid o ran cynhyrchu cnydau masnachol, ond a ddatblygwyd i'w tyfu o dan amodau penodol, ac ar gyfer marchnata hadau'r amrywogaethau brodorol a botanegol hynny.
Mae rheoliad 3 yn diwygio rheoliad 2(1) o'r prif Reoliadau drwy gyflwyno diffiniadau newydd.
Mae rheoliad 4 yn diwygio rheoliad 19 o'r prif Reoliadau. Mae'r rheoliad 19A newydd o'r prif Reoliadau, a fewnosodir gan reoliad 4 o'r Rheoliadau hyn, yn darparu na chaniateir marchnata hadau amrywogaeth cadwraeth ac eithrio yn rhanbarth ei tharddiad neu mewn rhanbarth ychwanegol, a'u bod yn ddarostyngedig i gyfyngiadau meintiol. Nid yw'n ofynnol cynnal archwiliad swyddogol, ond mae hadau amrywogaeth cadwraeth yn ddarostyngedig i ôl-reoli swyddogol.
Mae'r Rheoliadau yn darparu hefyd ar gyfer marchnata amrywogaethau amatur. Mae rheoliad 7 yn diwygio Atodlen 1 o'r prif Reoliadau drwy gyflwyno diffiniad o hadau safonol amrywogaeth amatur. Mae'r rheoliad 19B newydd o'r prif Reoliadau, a fewnosodir gan reoliad 4 o'r Rheoliadau hyn, yn darparu bod hadau safonol amrywogaeth amatur yn ddarostyngedig i'r cyfyngiadau meintiol yn Erthygl 28 o'r Gyfarwyddeb ac Atodiad II iddi. Nid yw'n ofynnol cynnal archwiliad swyddogol, ond mae hadau amrywogaeth amatur yn ddarostyngedig i ôl-reoli swyddogol.
Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn hefyd yn gwneud diwygiadau canlyniadol i'r prif Reoliadau, gan gynnwys—
a
Mewnosod diffiniadau newydd eraill yn y prif Reoliadau (rheoliadau 3 a 7);
b
Amrywiol ddiwygiadau o ran samplu, selio a labelu (rheoliadau 4, 5, 6, 8 a 9).
Gwnaed Asesiad Effaith Rheoleiddiol rhannol, ar sail y DU gyfan, gan Asiantaeth Ymchwil Bwyd a'r Amgylchedd y DU (FERA) mewn perthynas â gweithredu'r Gyfarwyddeb, ac y mae'r asesiad hwnnw ar gael ar wefan Adran yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig (DEFRA). Llywodraeth y DU.

Gweler adran 38(1) am ddiffiniad o “the Minister”. O dan Orchymyn Trosglwyddo Swyddogaethau (Cymru) (Rhif 1) 1978 (O.S. 1978/272), erthygl 2(1) ac Atodlen 2, trosglwyddwyd swyddogaethau'r Gweinidog dros Amaethyddiaeth, Pysgodfeydd a Bwyd o dan Ddeddf Amrywogaethau a Hadau Planhigion 1964, i'r graddau y maent yn arferadwy o ran Cymru, i'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol; ac o dan Orchymyn Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru (Trosglwyddo Swyddogaethau) 1999 (O.S. 1999/672), erthygl 2(1) ac Atodlen 1, trosglwyddwyd y swyddogaethau a drosglwyddwyd i'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru.
