Ukuvinjelwa kokusebenzisa izikhwama zepulasitiki kubambezelekile kuze kube nguJuni 1

Ekuqaleni yayihlelelwe uJanuwari 1. Ngemuva kwalokho lihlehliselwe umhlaka-28 Mashi. Ekugcineni, kuzoba kusuka ngoJulayi 1 lapho isimemezelo sokwenqatshelwa kwe- izikhwama zepulasitiki ukusetshenziswa okukodwa.

Kunqunywe ngaphakathi kohlaka lomthetho ku ukuguquka okunamandla Kumenyezelwe ngo-Agasti, ukuvinjelwa kwezikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye kuhlaziyiwe yi-European Commission kanye noMkhandlu Wezwe, ukucacisa uhlobo lwezikhwama ezithintekile maqondana nemithetho yaseYurophu.

Ekugcineni kuzoba njalo izikhwama zepulasitiki ngobukhulu obungaphansi kwama-micrometer ayi-50, kungakhathalekile ukuthi yimalini, futhi amahhala noma akhokhelwe, azovinjelwa emabhokisini ezitolo kusukela ngoJulayi 1, 2016. Kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, 2017 nawo azokwaliwa futhi kunqatshelwe zonke izikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye nokupakisha, kufaka phakathi lezo ezihlinzekelwe ukupakisha izithelo nemifino, noma ushizi. I- abathengi kuzofanele basebenzise izikhwama ezingasetshenziswa kabusha, ezinama-micrometer angaphezu kwama-50, noma izikhwama zamaphepha.

Yize kuqale ukusebenza kwe- umthetho wokuqinisa umthetho, izitolo eziningi ezinkulu seziyekile ukusebenzisa izikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye. Ngokusho kwe-Federation of Commerce and Distribution Companies, inani lezikhwama ezisatshalaliswa ngemikhiqizo belizonyuka lisuke kwizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-10,5 laya ezigidini ezingama-700 ngonyaka selokhu kwasayinwa isivumelwano ivolontiya ngo-2003. Amabhizinisi amaningi adinga amakhasimende ukuthi akhokhe amasenti ayi-3-5 ukuwaheha ukuthi eze nezikhwama zawo ezingaphinde zisebenziseke.

Ngo-2010, inani le izikhwama zepulasitiki ishiywe endle ngonyaka ezingeni laseYurophu yayiyizigidi ezingama-8000. Imvamisa kusetshenziswa imizuzu engaphansi kwengama-20, phakathi kokusatshalaliswa esitolo nokukhishwa kwempahla yokuthenga ekhaya. Kodwa-ke, isikhwama sithatha iminyaka ephakathi kwengu-100 nengama-400 ukwehlisa isithunzi.

Le mpilo yesibili iyingozi kakhulu ku- imfuyo olwandle. Izimfudu, izilwane ezincelisayo nezinyoni zingazigwinya bese ziminza. Ngokuya ngocwaningo olushicilelwe ngo-2015, izinhlobo ezingama-700 zasolwandle ngabe ziwele indlela kadoti wepulasitiki emanzini, kwathi u-10% walaba bantu ngabe bewumunce.
