I have a quick follow-up, if that would be all right, convener.

Are you comfortable with the level of consultation that has been carried out and the compliance checks on a minimum of 20 per cent of the registration dossiers for relevant tonnage?

I know that carrying out an impact assessment is more a UK Government task, but are you comfortable with the costs and the risks of the extension?

Good morning. I will touch on Ofgem and energy markets. I know that the UK Energy Bill is going through the House of Lords, and there is a provision in it that we establish a future systems operator. What impact does Ofgem believe that the establishment of a future systems operator will have on whole-energy-system planning? What skills, experience and authority will the FSO have that existing agencies and system operators do not?

I have several questions. Recently, I was invited along to a small distillery in my constituency that produces whisky and gin, predominantly, and which has a variety of concerns. Staff have attended the roadshow, but they felt more confused after it. A lot of their questions were not answered.

I would like to touch on some of the things that the witnesses have spoken about. The distillery’s bottles, which are all wrapped, are exquisite; they are absolutely beautiful—in fact, on what has been said about the circular economy and single use, when I visited the distillery, bottles were being used as lampshades and candle holders. The big concern for the distillery, as a small producer, is that it will incur costs for each bottle, although the likelihood is that those items will not be brought back. Some suppliers just fill their bottles back up, rather than recycling them. The distillery also pointed out to me that, because its bottle is so beautiful, the likelihood is that it will not become an item that litters our streets. Perhaps you could touch on that.

I would like to take you up on your offer to visit that producer to answer some of its questions. It also asked about the import label. The producer has consulted HM Revenue and Customs, which said that the import label is actually about fraud. Further, because the bottles are wrapped, what would happen with relabelling? Can you come up with solutions there? I would be keen to hear your comments on that.

I have a final question. There have been various reports in the media, including on social media, about the potential for cross-border fraud. What have you done to prepare for that? To what extent do you think that such fraud will occur?

As far as I am aware, the company is being told that it needs to take part in, and comply with, the scheme.

I also want to ask about how the fee structure for producers has been set up. Did you consider how costs would be distributed across businesses? Did you consider the environmental impacts of different materials? Are producers still raising concerns about the fee structure following the changes that have been made to the support package?

Good morning, minister. This question is fairly long, so bear with me.

We are aware of other significant developments in the policy area, including the 2020 EU chemical strategy and the forthcoming UK chemical strategy. How are the Scottish Government and the agencies engaging with those developments and what resource is committed to that? Will the forthcoming UK chemical strategy apply in Scotland in the devolved areas and will the Scottish Government feed into that strategy?

How will the electricity networks commissioner interact with and add value to the work of Ofgem and the FSO, and vice versa? Is there a risk that regulation and forward planning will become crowded and a bit fussy?
