I was told the following way, way back by ICI scientists when discussing the environmental effects of F113 CFC.
This new information  could be of assistance in any possible appeal you may be considering to FEQAB.
There has always been a hole in the ozone layer at the South pole. This is shown by the fact that Penguins are black on their backs as  the ozone hole lets UV through. Contrarily Polar bears are white all over because there is no hole at the North Pole. I have never heard or read anything to contradict this, hope it helps.

I think the FEQAB was drunk yet again and demonstrated its lack of critical thinking.  Polar bears are white all over because they roll in the snow.
Penguins are white on the belly because they slide over the snow.  Anyone who watches the nature channel knows that.  And since icebergs carry Polarium out from the polar regions, Polarium is found all over, but the near infinite dilution makes it hard to detect.  And I checked your phone.
You need your eyes re-lasered - you dialed the number for the Pachyderm experts, not the Penquin experts.  Elephant experts don't know jack about penguins, so of course they were confused.  So there.
