The committee also appreciated the constructive contributions made by the provinces and the Department of Transport in working towards finalising this important piece of legislation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through robust discussions and deliberations, the committee identified areas of convergence between the provinces and the department. The committee is confident that the technical amendments and clarifications proposed will strengthen the bill and ensure it is fit for purpose in protecting South Africa\u2019s marine environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The committee will reconvene next week to consider the consolidated list of proposed amendments, known as the C-list, which will be developed through a collaborative process between the department, parliamentary legal advisors and committee support staff. This will then form the basis for the final D-list that will be presented to the provinces for their consideration and support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Committee Chairperson Mr Rikus Badenhorst said, \u201cThe committee remains committed in fulfilling its respective role and ensuring the timely finalisation of the Marine Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation Bill in order to enhance the country\u2019s state of readiness and response capability in the event of a marine oil spill incident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source : Republic of South Africa: The
