IPhalamende LaseYurophu lisanda kuphakamisa umkhawulo wejubane elingu-30 km/h ezindaweni zokuhlala kanye nabashayeli bamabhayisikili abaningi e-European Union (EU), imigwaqo ephephile kanye nokungabekezeleli nhlobo ukushayela uphuze utshwala.
Embikweni ovunyiwe - ngo-Okthoba 6 - emhlanganweni wezingxoxo owawuseStrasbourg (eFrance), ngamavoti angu-615 futhi angu-24 kuphela aphikisana (kubekhona abantu abangu-48 abaphika), ama-MEP akhiphe izincomo ezihloselwe ukukhulisa ukuphepha emgwaqeni e-EU kanye nokufeza umgomo wokungabi bikho kwezingozi zomgwaqo endaweni yomphakathi ngo-2050.
"Umgomo wokunciphisa isibalo sabantu abashona emigwaqeni ngohhafu phakathi kuka-2010 no-2020 awukafinyelelwa", kukhala umhlangano waseYurophu, ohlongoza izinyathelo ukuze umphumela walokhu okuhlosiwe oshiwo ngo-2050 wehluke.
Inani lokufa kwabantu emigwaqweni yaseYurophu lehle ngo-36% kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, ngaphansi komgomo wama-50% obekwe yi-EU. IGreece kuphela (54%) eyeqe umgomo, ilandelwa yiCroatia (44%), iSpain (44%), EPortugal (43%), i-Italy (42%) kanye neSlovenia (42%), ngokusho kwedatha ekhishwe ngo-Ephreli.
Ngo-2020, imigwaqo ephephe kunazo zonke yaqhubeka kwaba eyaseSweden (abangu-18 abashonile esigidini ngasinye), kuyilapho iRomania (85/million) inenani eliphakeme kakhulu lokufa emigwaqweni. Isilinganiso se-EU sasingama-42/million ngo-2020, kanti iPortugal ingaphezu kwesilinganiso saseYurophu, ngama-52/million.
30 km/h umkhawulo wejubane
Okunye okugxilwe kakhulu kuyona kuhlobene nesivinini eseqile ezindaweni ezihlala abantu kanye nenani eliphezulu labagibeli bamabhayisikili nabahamba ngezinyawo, into leyo, ngokombiko, “eyimbangela” yezingozi ezingaba ngu-30% zomgwaqo ezibulalayo.
Ngakho-ke, futhi ukuze kuncishiswe leli phesenti, iPhalamende LaseYurophu licela iKhomishini YaseYurophu ukuba yenze isincomo emaZweni Angamalungu e-EU ukuba asebenzise imingcele yejubane ephephile kuzo zonke izinhlobo zomgwaqo, “njengejubane eliphakeme elingu-30 km/h ezindaweni okuhlalwa kuzo kanye izindawo ezinenani eliphezulu labagibeli bamabhayisikili nabahamba ngezinyawo”.
Ukungabekezeleli utshwala
Ama-MEPs aphinde acele i-European Commission ukuthi ibuyekeze izincomo mayelana namazinga aphezulu otshwala egazini. Inhloso ukufaka eziphakamisweni “uhlaka olubona kusengaphambili ukuthi ngeke kubekezelelwe nhlobo mayelana nemikhawulo yokushayela uphuze utshwala”.Kulinganiselwa ukuthi utshwala budala cishe u-25% wesibalo sabantu abashona ezingozini zomgwaqo.
izimoto eziphephile
IPhalamende LaseYurophu liphinde licele ukwethulwa kwemfuneko yokuhlomisa abashayeli bemishini ephathwayo neye-elekthronikhi “ngendlela yokushayela ephephile” ukuze kuncishiswe iziphazamiso lapho ushayela.
Umhlangano waseYurophu uphinde uphakamise ukuthi Amazwe Angamalungu ahlinzekele izinxephezelo zentela nokuthi izinkampani zomshwalense ezizimele zinikeze izinhlelo zomshwalense wemoto okhangayo ukuze kuthengwe futhi kusetshenziswe izimoto ezinezindinganiso eziphakeme kakhulu zokuphepha.
