I-AMSTERDAM - Ngaphezu kwama-activists angama-60 avela kulo lonke elaseYurophu asebenza ngokuzithandela kunye neGreenpeace Netherlands avimba i-mega-ship efika eNetherlands kunye ne-60 yezigidi zeekhilo zesoya ezivela eBrazil ukuba zifune umthetho omtsha oqinileyo we-EU ngokuchasene nokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Ukusukela ngentsimbi ye-12 emini yasebusuku, abaphembeleli bebevala iingcango ezitshixayo ekufuneka i-Crimson Ace enobude beemitha ezingama-225 idlule ukuze ingene kwizibuko laseAmsterdam. I-Netherlands isango lokuya eYurophu ukungenisa iimveliso ezifana neoli yesundu, inyama kunye ne-soy yokutya kwezilwanyana, ezihlala zidibaniswa nokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo kunye nokuxhatshazwa kwamalungelo abantu.
“Kukho umthetho oyilwayo we-EU etafileni onokuphelisa ukubandakanyeka kweYurophu ekutshatyalalisweni kwendalo, kodwa akukho ndawo ikufutshane nokomelela ngokwaneleyo. Amakhulu eenqanawa ezithwele isoyi yokutya kwezilwanyana, inyama kunye neoli yesundu zifowunela kumazibuko ethu minyaka le. Abantu baseYurophu basenokungaziqhubeli iibulldozers, kodwa ngolu rhwebo, iYurophu inoxanduva lokuyicoca iBorneo nemililo yaseBrazil. Siza kulususa olu thintelo xa uMphathiswa uvan der Wal kunye nabanye abaphathiswa be-EU bebhengeza esidlangalaleni ukuba baya kuwuvuma umthetho oyilwayo okhusela indalo ekusetyenzisweni kweYurophu, utshilo uAndy Palmen, uMlawuli waseGreenpeace eNetherlands.
Isenzo kwi-IJmuiden
Amavolontiya avela kumazwe angama-16 (amazwe angama-15 aseYurophu kunye neBrazil) kunye neenkokheli zemveli zaseBrazil zithatha inxaxheba kuqhanqalazo olunoxolo kwiSango loLwandle e-IJmuiden. Abakhweli bavala iingcango ezitshixayo kwaye baxhoma ibhanile efundeka ngolu hlobo 'EU: Stop Destruction of Nature Now'. Amatshantliziyo ahamba phezu kwamanzi ephethe iibhanile ngolwimi lwawo. Iityhubhu ezinkulu ezivuthelwayo ezinomyalezo othi "Khusela iNdalo" kunye namagama abantu abangaphezu kwamawaka alishumi abaphuma kumazwe amathandathu ahlukeneyo abaxhasa olu qhankqalazo badada phezu kwamanzi phambi kwamasango okutshixa. Iinkokeli zomthonyama zijoyina uqhanqalazo kwi-Beluga II, inqanawa yaseGreenpeace yeemitha ezingama-33, kunye nebhena phakathi kweemasti ezifundeka "EU: Yeka ukutshabalalisa indalo ngoku".
UAlberto Terena, inkokeli yomthonyama yeBhunga laBantu baseTerena kwiphondo laseMato Grosso do Sul, uthe: “Sikhutshiwe kumhlaba wethu kwaye imilambo yethu igalelwe ityhefu ukuze kube nendawo yokwandiswa kweshishini lezolimo. IYurophu iyinxalenye yecala lokutshatyalaliswa kwelizwe lethu. Kodwa lo mthetho unokunceda ukunqanda ukutshatyalaliswa kwexesha elizayo. Simema abaphathiswa ukuba basebenzise eli thuba, kungekuphela nje ukuqinisekisa amalungelo abantu bomthonyama, kodwa nakwikamva leplanethi. Imveliso yesondlo semfuyo yakho kunye nenyama yenkomo ethengwa kumazwe angaphandle akufuneki iphinde isibangele intlungu.”
UAndy Palmen, uMlawuli weGreenpeace eNetherlands: “I-megaship Crimson Ace yinxalenye yenkqubo yokutya eyaphukileyo edityaniswe nokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo. Uninzi lwazo zonke iimbotyi zesoya ziyanyamalala kwizisele zokuxheshisela iinkomo, iihagu neenkukhu zethu. Indalo iyatshatyalaliswa ukuze kuveliswe inyama yemizi-mveliso, ngelixa siyifuna ngokwenene indalo ukugcina umhlaba uphila.
Umthetho omtsha we-EU
IGreenpeace icela umthetho omtsha owomeleleyo we-EU ukuqinisekisa ukuba iimveliso ezinokunxulunyaniswa nokuthotywa kwendalo kunye nokuxhatshazwa kwamalungelo oluntu kunokulandwa emva apho kwenziwa khona. Umthetho kufuneka ukhusele i-ecosystems ngaphandle kwamahlathi - njenge Cerrado savannah eBrazil, enyamalalayo njengoko imveliso yesoya isanda. Umthetho kufuneka usebenze kuzo zonke izinto ezikrwada kunye neemveliso ezibeka emngciphekweni indalo kwaye zikhusele ngokufanelekileyo amalungelo oluntu amkelwa ngamazwe ngamazwe, kubandakanywa ukhuseleko olusemthethweni lomhlaba wabantu bomthonyama.
Abaphathiswa bezendalo abavela kumazwe angama-27 e-EU baza kudibana ngoJuni 28 ukuze baxoxe ngomthetho osayilwayo wokulwa nokutshatyalaliswa kwamahlathi. IGreenpeace Netherlands ithatha inyathelo namhlanje ukuqinisekisa ukuba abaphathiswa be-EU bathatha isikhundla esiqinileyo ekuphuculeni umthetho.
