Ummeli Jikelele weNkantolo Yobulungisa ye-European Union ukhiphe umbono oqinile wezomthetho ngesinqumo seKhomishini yaseYurophu sango-2021 sokuvuma kabusha i-cypermethrin yesibulala-zinambuzane esinobuthi kakhulu. Ummeli Jikelele uphikisana nezinqumo zeKhomishini yaseYurophu kanye neNkantolo Jikelele ye-European Union futhi uncoma ukuthi izinqumo zangaphambilini zeNkantolo zisekeleukuvunyelwa kwemithi yokubulala izinambuzane kufanele kuchithwe.Uphakamisa imibuzo ebalulekile mayelana nokuhlolwa kwengozi kweKhomishini. Nakuba umbono ungabophezeli ngokomthetho, unemiphumela ebanzi. Ngakho-ke uthini ngempela uMmeli Jikelele?
Ummeli Jikelele waphawula ukuthi ikomidi lenze ukwephulwa okune okukhulu kokuphathwa kwezingozi, okwaholela ekuqinisekisweni kabusha kwe-cypermethrin. Ukwephulwa ngakunye kwalokhu kukhombisa ukwehluleka ukuhambisana nemfuneko yomthetho yokwenza ukuhlolwa okuphelele, okungakhethi, nokwesayensi.
I-Cypermethrinkuyingxube yama-isomers anefomula efanayo yama-molecule kodwa izakhiwo ezihlukene. I-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) ithole igebe elibalulekile kudatha yobuthi yala ma-isomers. Eqinisweni, imboni ehilelekile yehlulekile ukunikeza idatha edingekayo. IKhomishini yaseYurophu ivumele leli gebe ledatha ukuthi lingaxazululwa ngesikhathi senqubo yokugunyazwa kabusha, iliphatha "njengolwazi olusekelayo" olungathunyelwa kamuva. Ummeli Jikelele uphikisana kakhulu nale ndlela. Idatha eyisisekelo yobuthi kumele iphelele ngaphambi kokuvunyelwa. Idatha esekelayo ingasetshenziswa kuphela ukwengeza, hhayi ukugcwalisa, igebe ledatha elibalulekile. Ukwehluleka kweKhomishini yaseYurophu ukufuna le datha kusenesikhathi kwephula imithetho efanele.
IKhomishini yaseYurophu yehlulekile ukunikeza ukuhlolwa kobuthi obungaba khona isikhathi eside kanye nokuba yingozi komdlavuza kwamafomu ajwayelekile omthamo. Ukuhlolwa okunjalo kuyimpoqo ngaphansi komthetho we-EU, kodwa iKhomishini yenqaba njalo ukufaka idatha edingekayo kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi “umlawuli wezidingo zedatha.” Ngenxa yokuntuleka kwedatha enjalo, i-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) ayizange yenze lokhu kuhlolwa. Lapho ibuzwa ukuthi kungani lo mkhuba wamukelekile, iKhomishini ikhulume kuphela ngesigaba esiyimfihlo ekubikeni okuqaliswe kabusha kwamazwe angamalungu. Ummeli Jikelele akaqiniseki. Uma le datha “efihliwe” yayanele ngempela, iKhomishini kanye neNkantolo Jikelele ye-European Union kufanele bayihlole esidlangalaleni futhi bachaze ukuthi kungani ukuthula kwe-EFSA ngale ndaba kunganakwa.
I-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) iphethe ngokuthi ngisho nangezinyathelo zokunciphisa ubungozi, i-cypermethrin isabeka ingozi enkulu ezintweni eziphilayo ezingahlosiwe. Kodwa-ke, iKhomishini yaseYurophu ithi izinyathelo zokunciphisa ubungozi obukhulu, njengokunciphisa ukukhukhuleka kwezibulala-zinambuzane ngo-95%, zingaxazulula inkinga. I-EFSA ngaphambilini yathi izinyathelo ezinjalo azinakusebenza. Ummeli Jikelele ukholelwa ukuthi isinqumo seKhomishini yaseYurophu sokuguqula umbono we-EFSA asinazo izizathu zesayensi.
Okunye ukukhathazeka okubalulekile okuphakanyiswe yi-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) mayelana ne-cypermethrin ukwehluleka ukukhipha ubuthi be-genotoxicity bokungcola okubhalwe kudatha yobuchwepheshe yomkhiqizo. IKhomishini yaseYurophu yamukele isitatimende samazwe angamalungu athumele imibiko yokuthi isitatimende "silingana" nesicelo esisetshenziswa ezifundweni ze-toxicology, kodwa uMmeli Jikelele uthe lesi sitatimende asinakuqiniswa ngaphandle kokuqonda umehluko oqondile phakathi kwedatha yobuchwepheshe.
Ummeli Jikelele ugcizelele njalo isimiso esilula embonweni wakhe: lapho iKhomishini yaseYurophu ichitha umbono wesayensi ovela kwi-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), kumele inikeze incazelo enengqondo. Uma i-EFSA ibheka ingozi yokuba khona, iKhomishini yaseYurophu ayikwazi ukusho nje ukuthi “asivumelani” kodwa kumele ichaze izizathu zayo ngokusekelwe kudatha yesayensi namaqiniso. Okubaluleke kakhulu, iKhomishini yaseYurophu ithembele kakhulu embonweni weLizwe Elilungu (umhumushi, eBelgium), noma ngabe lowo mbono uphikisana nemibono ye-EFSA. UMmeli Jikelele ubheka lo mkhuba njengongenasisekelo futhi ongalungile ngokomthetho.
Umshushisi Jikelele uphinde wagxeka iKomidi ngokufihla ulwazi olubalulekile ekuhlolweni kwalezi zindlela ngaphansi kwesizathu sokugcinwa kwemfihlo. Uphawule ukuthi idatha mayelana nokukhishwa kwegesi yemvelo kumele yenziwe umphakathi. Lokhu kuyisici esibalulekile somthetho we-EU kanye noMthethonqubo we-Aarhus.
Ezinye izimpikiswano ezivezwe yi-Pan-European Union azisekelwanga yi-Attorney General. Isibonelo, waphikisana ngokuthi, ngokusekelwe kudatha edingekayo, kwakungekho bufakazi obukholisayo bokuthi i-cypermethrin inezakhiwo eziphazamisa i-endocrine.
Ezinye zalezi zimpikiswano ezibalulekile zingashintsha indlela yokuphatha izinqumo zokusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane esikhathini esizayo, njengoba zimele izinselelo iKhomishini yaseYurophu evame ukubhekana nazo lapho ivuma ukugunyazwa kwezibulala-zinambuzane.
INkantolo Yobulungisa YaseYurophu kulindeleke ukuthi ikhiphe isinqumo sokugcina ekupheleni kuka-2025. Uma isincomo sikaMmeli Jikelele samukelwa, isinqumo seNkantolo Ejwayelekile sizochithwa. Ngemva kwalokhu, iKhomishini YaseYurophu kuzodingeka iphinde icabangele impendulo yayo esicelweni sethu sokubuyekezwa kwangaphakathi futhi cishe iphinde icabangele ukuvunyelwa kwe-cypermethrin.
I-Cypermethrin iyisibulala-zinambuzane esenziwe nge-pyrethroid esinobuthi obukhulu ezinyosini nasezintweni eziphilayo zasemanzini futhi okusolwa ukuthi siyimbangela yokuphazamiseka kwe-endocrine kubantu. Naphezu kwamalebula acacile esixwayiso ("izindawo ezibaluleke kakhulu") kanye nemibhalo engaphelele, iKhomishini yaseYurophu kanye namazwe ayo angamalungu baphinde bagunyaza lesi sidakamizwa ngo-2021. I-PAN Europe yafaka icala, iphikisana ngokuthi iKhomishini yaseYurophu ayinaki umthetho we-EU, ukuhlolwa kwesayensi kwe-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), kanye nomgomo wokuqapha. Ngo-2024, iNkantolo Ejwayelekile ye-European Union yalichitha icala eliphikisana nokugunyazwa kabusha kwe-cypermethrin[2], kwathi i-PAN Europe yabe isidlulisela icala eNkantolo Yobulungiswa yaseYurophu[3][4]. Ngokombono wakhe namuhla, uMshushisi Jikelele uncome ukuthi iNkantolo Yobulungiswa yaseYurophu ichithe isinqumo seNkantolo Ejwayelekile.
I-Pesticide Action Network (PAN Europe) ibonga ngokubonga uxhaso olunikezwe yi-European Union, i-European Commission, i-Directorate-General for Environment, kanye nohlelo lwe-LIFE. Ababhali yibona kuphela abanesibopho salolu shicilelo, futhi izinhlangano ezixhasa ngemali azithwali cala nganoma yikuphi ukusetshenziswa kolwazi oluqukethwe kulo.
