Ohulumeni be-European Union bahlulekile ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule ukunikeza umbono oqondile ngesiphakamiso sokwelula iminyaka eyi-10 sokuvunyelwa kwe-EU kokusetshenziswa kwe-I-GLYPHOSATE, isithako esisebenzayo ku-Roundup weedkiller ye-Bayer AG.
“Iningi elifanelekile” lamazwe ayi-15 amele okungenani ama-65% abantu baleli qembu kwakudingeka ukuthi lisekele noma livimbele lesi siphakamiso.
IKhomishini yaseYurophu ithe esitatimendeni akukho ningi elifanelekile noma ngabe yikuphi evotini elenziwe yikomidi lamalungu angu-27 e-EU.
Ohulumeni be-EU bazozama futhi engxenyeni yokuqala kaNovemba lapho ukwehluleka ukuveza umbono ocacile kuzoshiya isinqumo kuKhomishini yaseYurophu.
Kudingeka isinqumo ngoDisemba 14 njengoba ukuvunyelwa kwamanje kuphelelwa yisikhathi ngosuku olulandelayo.
Ngesikhathi ilayisensi ye-glyphosate ikhishwa ukuze ivunywe kabusha, i-EU yanikeza isikhathi seminyaka emihlanu ngemuva kokuba amazwe e-EU ehlulekile kabili ukusekela isikhathi seminyaka eyi-10.
UBayer uthe izifundo ezingamashumi eminyaka zikhombisile ukuthi iphephile nokuthi ikhemikhali ibilokhu isetshenziswa kakhulu ngabalimi, noma ukususa ukhula emizileni yesitimela amashumi eminyaka.
Le nkampani ithe ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule ukuthi iningi lamazwe e-EU livotele ukusekela lesi siphakamiso nokuthi inethemba lokuthi amanye amazwe engeziwe azosisekela esinyathelweni esilandelayo senqubo yokusigunyaza.
Eminyakeni eyishumi edlule,I-GLYPHOSATE, esetshenziswa emikhiqizweni efana ne-weedkiller Roundup, ibilokhu iyisizinda sempikiswano yesayensi eshisayo mayelana nokuthi ingabanga yini umdlavuza kanye nomphumela wayo ongase uphazamise imvelo. Leli khemikhali lalethwa yiMonsanto ngo-1974 njengendlela ephumelelayo yokubulala ukhula ngenkathi ishiya izitshalo nezitshalo ziphelele.
I-International Agency for Research on Cancer eseFrance, eyingxenye ye-World Health Organisation, yakubeka "njengomdlavuza wabantu okungenzeka" ngo-2015. I-ejensi yokuphepha kokudla ye-EU yayivule indlela yokwandiswa kweminyaka eyi-10 lapho ithi ngoJulayi "ayizange ibone izindawo ezibalulekile ezikhathazayo" ekusetshenzisweni kwe-glyphosate.
I-US Environmental Protection Agency yathola ngo-2020 ukuthi umuthi wokubulala ukhula awuzange ube yingozi empilweni yabantu, kodwa inkantolo yokudlulisa amacala kahulumeni eCalifornia yayala le nhlangano ngonyaka odlule ukuthi iphinde ihlole leso sinqumo, ithi asisekelwa ubufakazi obanele.
Amazwe angamalungu e-EU anesibopho sokugunyaza ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo okuhlanganisa namakhemikhali ezimakethe zawo zezwe, ngemuva kokuhlolwa kokuphepha.
EFrance, uMongameli u-Emmanuel Macron wayezibophezele ekuvimbeleni i-glyphosate ngaphambi kuka-2021 kodwa kusukela lapho uye wahoxa. IJalimane, umnotho omkhulu we-EU, ihlela ukuyeka ukuyisebenzisa kusukela ngonyaka ozayo, kodwa isinqumo singase siphikiswe. Ukuvinjelwa kukazwelonke kweLuxembourg, isibonelo, kwachithwa enkantolo ekuqaleni kwalonyaka.
I-Greenpeace ibize i-EU ukuthi yenqabe ukuqinisekiswa kabusha kwemakethe, icaphuna izifundo ezibonisa ukuthi i-glyphosate ingabangela umdlavuza nezinye izinkinga zempilo futhi ingaba yingozi ezinyosini. Kodwa-ke, umkhakha wezolimo uthi azikho ezinye izindlela ezisebenzayo.
"Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi isinqumo sokugcina esiphuma kule nqubo yokugunyazwa kabusha, kukhona iqiniso elilodwa amazwe angamalungu okuzodingeka abhekane nalo," kusho iCopa-Cogeca, iqembu elimele abalimi kanye namaqembu ezolimo. "Okwamanje akukho okunye okufana nalokhu kubulala ukhula, futhi ngaphandle kwalo, imikhuba eminingi yezolimo, ikakhulukazi ukulondolozwa kwenhlabathi, ibiyoba yinkimbinkimbi, ishiye abalimi bengenazo izixazululo."
