I-Netherlands ithatha i-Giant Step e-St. Eustatius on Environmental Protecion

I-St. Eustatius iyisiqhingi esincane saseCaribbean futhi siyingxenye yoMbuso WaseNetherlands.

Iphethwe yiQuill, intaba-mlilo ethule. I-Quill National Park inemizila yokuhamba izintaba eduze nolwandle futhi izungeze intaba-mlilo, enehlathi elinemvula nezinhlobo eziningi zama-orchid. Ezizungeze lesi siqhingi kukhona amabhishi amancane esihlabathi sentaba-mlilo. I-Offshore, i-St. Eustatius National Marine Park's Sites dive isukela ezixhobo zamakhorali kuya ekuphahlazekeni komkhumbi. 

Njengoba kuqondiswa uHulumeni waseDutch omaphakathi enhloko-dolobha yaseHague, Isiqhingi sase-St. Eustatius sizofaka umthetho oqondisa amabhizinisi ukuthi athathe izinyathelo ezidingekayo zokuvikela imvelo eziqhingini ezintathu ze-BES. Lo myalelo usebenza nakwezinye iziqhingi zase-Dutch Caribbean Islands zase-Saba, kanye ne-Bonaire, eyaziwa ngokuthi iziqhingi ze-BES.

Ukusabela, isiqhingi, futhi njenge-Statia - sithathe isinyathelo esisodwa esikhulu ekulondolozweni kwemvelo ngokuzibophezela ekuthuthukiseni imithetho ebalulekile yokuvikela imvelo.

Umnyango wendawo Wengqalasizinda Nokuphathwa Kwamanzi usayine incwadi yenhloso yokusebenzisana ukuze kuqaliswe ngempumelelo umthetho wezemvelo, ngaleyo ndlela kube neqhaza ekukhuleni komnotho okusimeme esiqhingini.

"Namuhla, sithatha igxathu elincane lezemvelo, ukugxuma okukodwa kwe-Statia," kusho iPhini likaKhomishana Kahulumeni u-Claudia Toet, efanisa amazwi kasonkanyezi waseMelika, u-Neil Armstrong, ngenkathi efika enyangeni ngo-1969.

"Ngokushaya ipeni siqhubeka nohambo lokuzibophezela kweqiniso endaweni yethu, okuhambisana nombono wethu we-Statia eluhlaza," wanezela iPhini likaKhomishana kaHulumeni, owasayina egameni leNhlangano Yomphakathi i-St. Eustatius.

UMqondisi-Jikelele Wezemvelo Nezindaba Zamazwe Ngamazwe u-Roald Lapperre usayine egameni loMnyango Wengqalasizinda Nokuphathwa Kwamanzi.

Inhlangano Yomphakathi kanye Nomnyango baphethe ngokuthi ukuqaliswa ngokucophelela komthetho wase-The Hague - okuhlelwe ukuthi uqale ukusebenza ngomhla ka-1 Januwari 2023 - kubalulekile ukuze kuvikelwe imvelo e-St. Eustatius, isiqhingi esingamakhilomitha-skwele angu-8.1 e-Caribbean Netherlands. Ngakho-ke, bavumelene ngohlelo lokuqaliswa okuhloswe ngalo:

a. ukusekela ukuthuthukiswa kokuchaza imithetho yezemvelo ku-Odinensi Yesiqhingi ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi izinhloso zemvelo ziyahambisana nesimo sendawo;

b. ukuqinisekisa ukwakhiwa kwamandla ngaphakathi kweminyango kahulumeni efanele;

c. ukuzuza izinga eliqhubekayo lokudlulisa ulwazi emisebenzini esemqoka edingekayo ukuze kuqaliswe umthetho wezemvelo.

            Baphinde banquma ukuthi umphakathi wamabhizinisi ku-Statia kufanele wazi kahle ngemithethonqubo yezemvelo futhi kufanele uzilungiselele ngokwanele ukuthobela imithetho.   

Mayelana nalokhu, izinhlangothi zombili ziphinde zasayina isivumelwano sokusebenzisana seminyaka emibili sokusungula uhlelo lokwabelana ngolwazi mayelana nomthetho wezemvelo nezinkampani zakuleli.

Izoqukatha ideski lolwazi kanye nengosi yewebhu yokuhlinzeka ngemininingwane efinyeleleka kalula nezeluleko mayelana nemithethonqubo yezemvelo emabhizinisini.

Umnyango Wezingqalasizinda Nokuphathwa Kwamanzi uzonikela ngo-€50,000 ezindlekweni zokusebenza zesistimu yolwazi futhi uzofaka isandla ohlelweni lokusebenzisa okuvunyelwene ngalo encwadini yenhloso.
