You cannot address the Chair if you are calling order. Because I had to call hon Minister, so I didn't really attend to it. What is the issue? But in any case, the Minister said that she is ready with the response. In fact, she
seems as if she didn't respond to the question. If you allow her, she can respond now.
The MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES: My apologies,
hon member. On 10 September 2019, the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries published regulations that phased out and banned certain persistent organic pollutants to protect human health and the environment, keeping in line with the Stockholm Convention of Persistent Organic Pollutants to which South Africa is a member. These regulations prescribe the requirements for the phase out of the used production distribution import and export as well as setting out specific time frames during which all listed substances must be completely phased out. These substances include - there is a long list here of five substances. Hon member, I think you probably have a written version and you won't test my Greek and Latin by making me read them out. Thank you.
