Thank you, Chairperson. Minister, the first phase of the negotiation process is focused on issues such as trading goods, and addressing issues such as tariff liberalisation, rules of origin, customs co-operation, and nontariff barriers, as well as the movement of businesspersons. I want to focus on this particular question, that is to say the movement of businesspersons.
The question I am asking is whether you are working here on a transversal project, which obviously includes Customs - which is part of the Revenue Service and National Treasury - and which also includes Home Affairs in particular. The restrictions on the free movement of businesspersons that we presently have in the Immigration Act will, in fact, have to be relaxed, and Home Affairs, in its policies, will have to align its directives with yours, so that we are able to move towards a genuine free trade area in the SADC region.
