Ngemuva kokuhlehliswa izikhathi ezintathu, iKhomishini ye-EU ekugcineni yethule uhlaka lomthetho we-EU supply chain namuhla. Inhlangano yomphakathi yase-Austrian ifuna ukuthi labo abathintwe ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu kanye nokulimala kwemvelo basekelwe kangcono.

Ngomthetho we-EU Supply Chain Act owethulwe namuhla, Ikhomishana ye-EU ibeke ingqopha-mlando yokuvikela amalungelo abantu kanye nemvelo ngokuhambisana namaketanga omhlaba wonke. “Umthetho we-EU supply chain uyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekugcineni iminyaka yokuzibophezela ngokuzithandela. Kodwa ngenxa yokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu, ukusetshenziswa kwezingane okuxhashazwayo kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwendawo esihlala kuyo kungase kungabi yinto evamile, umyalelo we-EU akufanele uqukathe izintuba ezenza kube nokwenzeka ukubukela phansi lo mthetho,” kuxwayisa uBettina Rosenberger, umxhumanisi wenhlangano.

Umthetho we-Supply chain uzosebenza ezinkampanini ezingaphansi kwamaphesenti angu-0,2%.

Umthetho we-EU supply chain uzosebenza ezinkampanini ezinezisebenzi ezingaphezu kuka-500 kanye nenzuzo yonyaka yama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-150. Izinkampani ezihlangabezana nalezi zindlela kuzofanele zisebenzise amalungelo abantu kanye nokunakekela imvelo ngokuzayo. Lokhu ukuhlaziya ubungozi, okuyithuluzi elibalulekile lokuvimbela ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu kanye nokulimala kwemvelo.Lo mhlahlandlela uhlanganisa lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla kanye nayo yonke imikhakha. Emikhakheni engcuphe kakhulu njengemboni yezingubo nezolimo, umthetho we-supply chain usebenza kubasebenzi abangama-250 nangaphezulu kanye nenzuzo yezigidi ezingama-40 zama-euro. Ama-SME ngeke athintwe yi-Supply Chain Act. "Isibalo sabasebenzi noma ukudayiswa akuhlobene nokuphulwa kwamalungelo abantu izinkampani eziwafihla emakethe," kusho uRosenberger ngokungaqondi.

“Ngakho-ke, umthetho we-EU supply chain uzosebenza ezinkampanini ezingaphansi kuka-0,2% endaweni ye-EU. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi: izinkampani ezingahlangabezani nemibandela eshiwo zingase zihileleke ekwephuleni amalungelo abantu, zixhaphaze abasebenzi futhi zicekele phansi indawo yethu, ngakho kudingeka izinyathelo zesikhathi eside ezithinta zonke izinkampani,” kusho uRosenberger.

Isibopho sezomthetho sibalulekile kodwa izithiyo zisekhona

Nokho, inqubekelaphambili enkulu yenziwe ngokuqinisa isibopho ngaphansi komthetho womphakathi. Isibopho somphakathi kuphela esingaqinisekisa ukuthi labo abathintwa ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu eGlobal South bayanxeshezelwa. Abathintekayo bangafaka isikhalazo ngaphambi kwenkantolo ye-EU. Izijeziso ezimsulwa ziya kuhulumeni futhi azimeli ikhambi lalabo abathintekayo. Isikweletu esinjalo okwamanje asitholakali emthethweni we-German supply chain. Kodwa-ke, kusasele ezinye izithiyo ezingokomthetho ezingakabhekwana nazo kuloluhlaka, njengezindleko zenkantolo ephakeme, umnqamulajuqu omfushane kanye nokufinyelela okulinganiselwe kobufakazi kulabo abathintekile.

“Ukuze amalungelo abantu kanye nemvelo kuvikelwe ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla emhlabeni wonke ngendlela esimeme ngempela nephelele, umthetho we-EU usadinga ukucutshungulwa okubanzi kanye nokusebenza okuphelele kuzo zonke izinkampani. Izinhlangano zomphakathi zizokumela lokhu ezingxoxweni ezilandelayo neKhomishini ye-EU, iPhalamende kanye noMkhandlu,” kusho uBettina Rosenberger, enikeza umbono.
