Amabhokisi e-Roundup ahlala eshalofini lesitolo e-San Francisco, Feb. 24, 2019. Isinqumo se-EU mayelana nokuthi kuvunyelwe yini ukusetshenziswa kwekhemikhali eyimpikiswano ebulala ukhula i-glyphosate ku-bloc sibambezeleke okungenani iminyaka eyi-10 ngemuva kokuthi amazwe angamalungu ehlulekile ukufinyelela isivumelwano.Ikhemikhali isetshenziswa kakhulu emazweni angama-27 futhi yavunyelwa ukuthi idayiswe emakethe ye-EU maphakathi no-December.(Isithombe se-AP/Haven Nsuku Zonke, Ifayela)
BRUSSELS (AP) - IKhomishana YaseYurophu izoqhubeka nokusebenzisa i-glyphosate yamakhemikhali eyimpikiswano e-European Union eminye iminyaka eyi-10 ngemuva kokuthi amazwe angamalungu angama-27 ephinde ehluleka ukuvumelana ngokunwetshwa.
Abamele i-EU behlulekile ukufinyelela esinqumweni ngenyanga edlule, futhi ivoti elisha lekomidi lezikhalo ngoLwesine laphinda langabambi.Ngenxa yalokhu kungqubuzana, isikhulu esiphezulu se-EU sithe sizosisekela isiphakamiso saso futhi andise ukugunyazwa kwe-glyphosate iminyaka engu-10 kwengezwe imibandela emisha.
"Le mikhawulo ihlanganisa ukuvinjelwa kokusetshenziswa ngaphambi kokuvuna njenge-desiccant kanye nesidingo sokuthatha izinyathelo ezithile zokuvikela izinto eziphilayo ezingahlosiwe," kusho inkampani esitatimendeni.
Ikhemikhali, esetshenziswa kabanzi e-EU, yabangela ukucasuka okukhulu phakathi kwamaqembu ezemvelo futhi ayizange ivunyelwe ukudayiswa emakethe ye-EU kuze kube maphakathi no-December.
Iqembu lezombangazwe le-Green Party ePhalamende laseYurophu ngokushesha lacela i-European Commission ukuthi iqede ukusetshenziswa kwe-glyphosate futhi ikuvimbele.
“Akufanele sibeke engcupheni ukuhlukahluka kwethu kwemvelo nempilo yomphakathi ngale ndlela,” kusho uBas Eickhout, iphini likasihlalo wekomiti lezemvelo.
Kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, i-glyphosate, esetshenziswa emikhiqizweni efana ne-Roundup yokubulala ukhula, ibiphakathi kwenkulumompikiswano yesayensi eshubile mayelana nokuthi iyawudala yini umdlavuza kanye nomonakalo ongawudala emvelweni.Ikhemikhali yethulwa yi-chemical giant Monsanto ngo-1974 njengendlela yokubulala ukhula ngempumelelo ngenkathi ishiya izitshalo nezinye izitshalo zingathinteki.
I-Bayer ithole iMonsanto ngamadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-63 ngo-2018 futhi ibhekene nezinkulungwane zamacala namacala ahlobene ne-Roundup.Ngo-2020, i-Bayer yamemezela ukuthi izokhokha imali efinyelela ku- $10.9 billion ukuxazulula izimangalo ezicishe zibe yi-125,000 ezifakiwe nezingagcwalisiwe.Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, ijaji laseCalifornia linikeze u-$332 million owesilisa owamangalela iMonsanto, ethi umdlavuza wakhe uhlobene namashumi eminyaka okusetshenziswa kwe-Roundup.
I-Ajensi Yamazwe Ngamazwe YaseFrance Yokucwaninga Ngomdlavuza, inkampani engaphansi kwe-World Health Organisation, ihlukanise i-glyphosate ngokuthi "i-carcinogen engenzeka yabantu" ngo-2015.
Kodwa i-ejensi yezokuphepha kokudla ye-EU ithe ngoJulayi ukuthi "akukho zindawo ezibucayi ezihlonziwe" ekusetshenzisweni kwe-glyphosate, okuvula indlela yokwandiswa kweminyaka eyi-10.
I-US Environmental Protection Agency yathola ngo-2020 ukuthi i-herbicide ayizange ibe yingozi empilweni yabantu, kodwa ngonyaka odlule inkantolo yokudlulisa amacala eCalifornia yayala le nhlangano ukuthi ibuyekeze leso sinqumo, ithi akusekelwa ubufakazi obanele.
Ukwandiswa kweminyaka eyi-10 okuphakanyiswe yiKhomishana YaseYurophu kudinga "iningi elifanelekayo", noma i-55% yamazwe angamalungu angama-27, amele okungenani i-65% yenani labantu be-EU (cishe abantu abayizigidi ezingu-450).Kodwa lo mgomo awuzange ufezwe futhi isinqumo sokugcina sashiyelwa kubaphathi be-EU.
UPascal Canfin, usihlalo wekomiti lezemvelo lePhalamende LaseYurophu, wasola umongameli weKhomishini YaseYurophu ngokuqhubekela phambili naphezu kwale nkinga.
“Ngakho-ke u-Ursula von der Leyen ulusukumele lolu daba ngokugunyaza kabusha i-glyphosate iminyaka eyishumi ngaphandle kweningi, kuyilapho amazwe amathathu anamandla ezolimo ezwekazi (iFrance, iJalimane ne-Italy) engasisekeli lesi siphakamiso,” ubhale kanjalo enkundleni yezokuxhumana X. Ngaphambilini. inethiwekhi ibibizwa nge-Twitter.“Ngizisola kakhulu ngalokhu.”
EFrance, uMongameli u-Emmanuel Macron wafunga ukuthi uzoyivala i-glyphosate ngo-2021 kodwa wabuye wahlehla, izwe lathi ngaphambi kwevoti lalingeke licele ukuthi kuvalwe.
Amazwe Angamalungu e-EU anesibopho sokugunyaza imikhiqizo ukuthi isetshenziswe ezimakethe zasekhaya ngemva kokuhlolwa kokuphepha.
IGermany, umnotho omkhulu we-EU, ihlela ukuyeka ukusebenzisa i-glyphosate kusukela ngonyaka ozayo, kodwa isinqumo singaphikiswa.Ngokwesibonelo, ukuvinjelwa ezweni lonke eLuxembourg kwachithwa enkantolo ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.
IGreenpeace icele i-EU ukuthi yenqabe ukugunyaza kabusha imakethe, icaphuna izifundo ezikhombisa ukuthi i-glyphosate ingadala umdlavuza nezinye izinkinga zempilo futhi ingaba yingozi ezinyosini.Nokho, umkhakha webhizinisi lezolimo uthi azikho ezinye izindlela ezingasetshenziswa.
