Isigqibo se-EU malunga nokuba sivumele ukusetyenziswa kwe-glyphosate yeekhemikhali eziphikisanayo kwi-bloc iye yalibaziseka ubuncinane iminyaka eyi-10 emva kokuba amazwe angamalungu angaphumelelanga. ukufikelela kwisivumelwano.Ikhemikhali isetyenziswa kakhulu kumazwe angama-27 kwaye yavunywa ukuba ithengiswe kwimarike ye-EU phakathi kuDisemba.(Ifoto ye-AP/Indawo yokuGcina yonke imihla, iFayile)
I-BRUSSELS (AP) - IKhomishoni yaseYurophu iya kuqhubeka nokusebenzisa i-glyphosate yeekhemikhali eziphikisanayo kwi-European Union enye iminyaka eyi-10 emva kokuba amazwe angama-27 aphinde ahluleka ukuvumelana ngokwandisa.
Abameli be-EU basilela ukufikelela kwisigqibo kwinyanga ephelileyo, kwaye ivoti entsha yekomiti yezibheno ngoLwesine ayizange iphelele.Ngenxa yokuphazamiseka, umphathi we-EU uthe uya kuxhasa isiphakamiso sakhe kwaye andise imvume ye-glyphosate iminyaka eyi-10 kunye neemeko ezintsha zongezwa.
"Ezi zithintelo ziquka ukuvinjelwa kokusetyenziswa kwangaphambili kokuvuna njenge-desiccant kunye nesidingo sokuthatha amanyathelo athile okukhusela izinto eziphilayo ezingajoliswanga," kusho inkampani kwingxelo.
Ikhemikhali, esetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwi-EU, yabangela umsindo omkhulu phakathi kwamaqela okusingqongileyo kwaye ayizange ivunywe ukuba ithengiswe kwiimarike ze-EU kude kube phakathi kuDisemba.
Iqela lezopolitiko zeGreen Party kwiPalamente yaseYurophu ngokukhawuleza labiza iKhomishoni yaseYurophu ukuba ikhuphe ukusetyenziswa kwe-glyphosate kwaye ivalwe.
“Asifanele sibeke esichengeni intlobo-ntlobo zezinto eziphilayo kunye nempilo yoluntu ngale ndlela,” utshilo uBas Eickhout, usekela sihlalo wekomiti yendalo esingqongileyo.
Kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, i-glyphosate, esetyenziswa kwiimveliso ezifana ne-Roundup ye-herbicide, ibe sembindini wengxoxo-mpikiswano yesayensi malunga nokuba ingaba umhlaza kunye nomonakalo onokuthi ubangele indalo.Ikhemikhali yaveliswa yi-chemical giant Monsanto kwi-1974 njengendlela yokubulala ngokufanelekileyo ukhula ngelixa ishiya izityalo kunye nezinye izityalo ezingathintekiyo.
I-Bayer ifumene iMonsanto kwi-63 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwi-2018 kwaye ijongene namawaka amatyala kunye namatyala anxulumene ne-Roundup.Ngo-2020, iBayer yabhengeza ukuba izakuhlawula ukuya kuthi ga kwi-10.9 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ukulungisa malunga ne-125,000 yamabango afakiweyo kunye nabangafakwanga.Kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, i-jury yaseCalifornia yanikezela i-332 yezigidi zeedola kumntu owamangalela uMonsanto, ebanga ukuba umhlaza wakhe unxulumene namashumi eminyaka okusetyenziswa kwe-Roundup.
I-Arhente yamazwe ngamazwe yaseFransi yoPhando lweCancer, i-subsidiary ye-World Health Organization, ichaza i-glyphosate "njenge-carcinogen enokwenzeka yomntu" kwi-2015.
Kodwa i-arhente yokhuseleko lokutya ye-EU yathi ngoJulayi ukuba "akukho mimandla ebalulekileyo echaphazelekayo echongiwe" ekusebenziseni i-glyphosate, ivula indlela yokwandiswa kweminyaka eyi-10.
I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lokusiNgqongileyo yase-US yafumanisa ngo-2020 ukuba i-herbicide ayizange ibe yingozi kwimpilo yabantu, kodwa kunyaka ophelileyo inkundla yezibheno yaseCalifornia yayalela i-arhente ukuba iphinde isithathele ingqalelo eso sigqibo, isithi ayixhaswanga bubungqina obaneleyo.
Ukwandiswa kweminyaka eyi-10 ecetywayo yiKomishoni yaseYurophu kufuna "uninzi olufanelekileyo", okanye i-55% yamazwe angamalungu e-27, emele ubuncinane i-65% yabantu be-EU bebonke (malunga ne-450 yezigidi zabantu).Kodwa le njongo ayizange iphumelele kwaye isigqibo sokugqibela sashiywa kwisigqeba se-EU.
UPascal Canfin, usihlalo wekomiti ejongene nemekobume yePalamente yaseYurophu, watyhola umongameli weKomishoni yaseYurophu ngokutyhalela phambili nangona kwakukho ingxaki.
"Ngoko ke u-Ursula von der Leyen uxakeke umcimbi ngokuphinda agunyazise i-glyphosate iminyaka elishumi ngaphandle kwesininzi, ngelixa amagunya amathathu ezolimo elizwekazi (iFransi, iJamani kunye ne-Itali) akazange asixhase esi siphakamiso," wabhala kumajelo asekuhlaleni X. Ngaphambili. inethiwekhi yayibizwa ngokuba nguTwitter."Ndizisola kakhulu ngoku."
EFransi, uMongameli u-Emmanuel Macron wenza isibhambathiso sokuyivala i-glyphosate ngo-2021 kodwa kamva wabuya umva, ilizwe lisithi phambi kwevoti liya kuyeka kunokuba libize ukuvalwa.
Amazwe angamaLungu e-EU anoxanduva lokugunyazisa iimveliso ukuba zisetyenziswe kwiimarike zasekhaya emva kovavanyo lokhuseleko.
IJamani, lelona lizwe likhulu kwezoqoqosho kwi-EU, liceba ukuyeka ukusebenzisa i-glyphosate ukuqala kulo nyaka uzayo, kodwa isigqibo singaphikiswa.Ngokomzekelo, ukuvalwa komsebenzi eLuxembourg kwilizwe lonke kwatshitshiswa enkundleni ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.
IGreenpeace ibize i-EU ukuba yenqabe ukuphinda igunyazise imarike, ikhankanya izifundo ezibonisa ukuba i-glyphosate inokubangela umhlaza kunye nezinye iingxaki zempilo kwaye inokuba yingozi kwiinyosi.Nangona kunjalo, icandelo loshishino lwezolimo lithi azikho ezinye iindlela ezinokusetyenziswa.
