The I-European Commission wenze isiphakamiso sezinyathelo zokuthuthukisa amalungelo abagibeli ngaphakathi kwe-EU lapho behlangabezana nokuphazamiseka noma ukukhanselwa kwendiza. Nokho, izinkampani zezindiza zizwakalisa ukungeneliseki ngalezi zinguquko ezihlongozwayo.
I-European Commission yethule iziphakamiso ezintsha ezihlose ukuthuthukisa amalungelo okuhamba kubantu ngabanye Europe, ngenxa yezinselelo ezifana ne UThomas Cook ukuqothuka kanye nenkinga ye-Covid-19.
Lezi ziphakamiso ngokuyinhloko zigxile ekuthuthukiseni imithethonqubo yohambo lwephakheji, uhambo lwezinhlobo eziningi, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngosizo olungcono kubahambi abanezidingo ezithile.
Imithetho yamanje ye-EU, nakuba iqinisekisa isinxephezelo nosizo lohambo oluphazamisekile lwendiza, ujantshi, umkhumbi, noma amabhasi, ayinakho ukutholakala ezindaweni ezithile.
UKhomishani Wezobulungiswa e-EU uDidier Reynders ukugcizelele ukuthi ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 lugqamise isidingo sokuqinisekisa amalungelo abathengi aqinile ezicini ezingakahlanganiswa njengamanje, evuma ukuphazamiseka okubangele embonini yezokuvakasha.
Lo bhubhane uholele ekukhanselweni okusabalele kanye nobunzima bokubuyisela imali kubathengi abasebenzelana nabasebenza ngokuvakasha kanye nezinhlangano zezokuvakasha mayelana namaphakheji akhanseliwe.
Ukuphendula, ukubuyekezwa komyalelo wokuvakasha wephakheji kuhloswe ukubhekana nalezi zingqinamba ngokwandisa kakhulu ukuvikeleka kwabahambi, ukwamukela izifundo ezitholwe kulokhu kuzizwisa.
Iziphakamiso Zokuthuthukisa Amalungelo Abagibeli e-EU
Ngokweziphakamiso, ezilindele ukwamukelwa yiPhalamende laseYurophu kanye noMkhandlu, amakhasimende abhukha amaphakheji eholide kuzodingeka ukuthi athole ulwazi mayelana neqembu elibhekene nokubuyisela uma kwenzeka kuba nezinkinga noma ukuphazamiseka.
Ngaphansi kwezinguquko ezihlongozwayo, izinkokhelo zangaphambi kwesikhathi zamaphakheji eholide zizofinyelela kumaphesenti angu-25 yenani eliphelele, ngaphandle kwalapho izindleko ezithile zithethelela inkokhelo yokuqala ephezulu, njengokukhokha izindleko ezigcwele zendiza. Abahleli bangacela inkokhelo ephelele ezinsukwini ezingu-28 kuphela ngaphambi kohambo. Esimeni sokukhanselwa kwephakheji, abahambi bagcina ilungelo lembuyiselo phakathi kwezinsuku eziyi-14, kuyilapho abahleli benelungelo lokuthola imbuyiselo evela kubahlinzeki besevisi zingakapheli izinsuku ezingu-7 ukuze kube lula lezi zimbuyiselo.
Imithetho ehlongozwayo ikhuluma ngamavawusha, athola ukuthandwa ngesikhathi sodlame. Abahambi abathola amavawusha ngemva kokukhanselwa kufanele baziswe ngemibandela ngaphambi kokuwamukela. Bayoba nelungelo lokugcizelela ukuthi babuyiselwe imali. Amavawusha angasetshenziswanga umnqamulajuqu azobuyiselwa ngokuzenzakalelayo. Ukwengeza, womabili amavawusha namalungelo okubuyiselwa imali azohlanganiswa nokuvikelwa kokungabi nazimali.
I-Multi Modal Journeys & Abagibeli abanezidingo ezikhethekile
IKhomishana iphakamisa ukwelula ilungelo lokuthola usizo kanye nesinxephezelo ngokuphazamiseka nokugeja ukuxhumana ohambweni “lwezindlela eziningi”, lapho izindlela zokuthutha ezihlukene zihilelekile ngaphansi kwenkontileka eyodwa, njengenhlanganisela yesitimela nendiza. Abantu abanokushintsha okuncishisiwe kokuhamba phakathi kwezindlela zokuthutha kufanele bathole usizo kubathwali kanye nabaqhubi betheminali.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma inkampani yezindiza idinga umuntu okhubazekile noma onezidingo ezikhethekile ukuba ahambe nomngane wakhe ukuze bathole usizo, inkampani yezindiza kufanele iqinisekise ukuthi ohamba naye uhamba mahhala futhi, uma kungenzeka, ahlale eduze nomgibeli osizwayo. Lesi sidingo sesivele sikhona kuhambo lukaloliwe, umkhumbi, noma umqeqeshi, ngokusho kweKhomishini.
Izindiza Ezingajabulile
Inhlangano yabathengi base-Europe i-BEUC izwakalise ukweseka okuphelele kulezi ziphakamiso kodwa yadumala ngokungabi bikho kokuvikelwa kokungabi nazimali kokuqothuka kwezindiza kanye nokungabi bikho kwelungiselelo elivumela abathengi ukuthi bakhansele amathikithi abo ngaphandle kokukhokhiswa ngezikhathi zenhlekelele.
Izinkampani zezindiza zaseYurophu, ezimelwe yi-Airlines for Europe (A4E), okuhlanganisa nezinkampani zenethiwekhi ezinkulu njenge-AirFrance/KLM, IAG, Easyjet, kanye neRyanair, zizwakalise ukunganeliseki ngeziphakamiso, ikakhulukazi zigxeka imikhawulo yokukhokha kusengaphambili.
Izinkampani zezindiza zikholelwa ukuthi kufanele kugxilwe ekugcineni ukuncintisana kwabahlinzeki bamaholide bamaphakheji ase-Europe, ixwayisa ngokuthi ukulawulwa ngokweqile kungaholela ekwenyukeni kwezindleko zabathengi. I-A4E ixwayise ngokuthi lokhu kungase kuqhubekisele abahambi ezindlekweni zokuhamba ezishibhile ezinokuvikelwa okuncane uma kuqhathaniswa nohambo lwephakheji.
Umqondisi Ophethe we-A4E, u-Ourania Georgoutsakou, ugxeke ukubuyekezwa okuhlongozwayo kwe-Package Travel Directive, ezwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuthi kungase kuphazamise ukuhamba kwezimali emkhakheni wezokuvakasha ngezikhathi ezivamile futhi kungalimaze lonke uchungechunge lwenani lezokuvakasha laseYurophu.
UGeorgoutsakou ugqamise ukudumala ngokusebenzisa lolu bhubhane njengemodeli yokulawula, ebheka njengesimo esingajwayelekile.
Ukwengeza, i-European Regions Airline Association (ERA), emele izinkampani zezindiza zesifunda, ixwayise mayelana nemithwalo engase ibe khona yokuphatha evela ezinguqukweni ezihlongozwayo.
I-European Regions Airline Association (ERA) iyamukele imfuneko yokuthi abaxhumanisi babelane ngolwazi lwabagibeli nezinkampani zezindiza ukuze kuvinjelwe izinkinga ezihlobene nokukhansela noma ukubambezeleka. Kodwa-ke, i-ERA yasigxeka isidingo sokuthi izinkampani zezindiza zishicilele imibiko ngokuphatha kwazo amalungelo abagibeli.
Ngokwemininingwane yeKhomishini, cishe abagibeli abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-13 njengamanje bahamba ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene zokuhamba ngaphakathi kwe-EU unyaka ngamunye. Ukuqagela kusikisela ukuthi leli nani lizokhuphuka lifinyelele ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-15 ngo-2030 futhi licishe libe izigidigidi ezingama-20 ngo-2050.
