The Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Marthinus Van Schalkwyk, on Monday published in the government gazette, the draft Alien and Invasive Species regulations for public comment in terms of Section 100, of the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act.
“This section requires the Minister to consult the stakeholders so that they can give their input on the regulation,” says spokesperson for Environmental Affairs and Tourism Mava Scott.
In this instance people have until 15 October 2007 to comment on these regulations.
