I-EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) ezayo iphawula ushintsho olukhulu ezinkambisweni zokuhwebelana emhlabeni jikelele. Umthethonqubo uhlose ukunciphisa ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwamahlathi ngokwethula izidingo eziqinile zemikhiqizo engena emakethe ye-EU. Kodwa-ke, izimakethe ezimbili ezinkulu zamapulangwe emhlabeni zisangaboni ngaso linye, njengoba iChina ne-US bezwakalisa ukukhathazeka okukhulu.
I-EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) yakhelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo ebekwe emakethe ye-EU ayibangeli ukugawulwa kwamahlathi noma ukuwohloka kwamahlathi. Imithetho imenyezelwe ekupheleni kuka-2023 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukusebenza ngomhla ka-30 Disemba 2024 kuma-opharetha amakhulu kanye noJuni 30, 2025 kuma-opharetha amancane.
I-EUDR idinga abangenisa kwamanye amazwe ukuthi banikeze isimemezelo esinemininingwane sokuthi imikhiqizo yabo ihambisana nalawa mazinga emvelo.
I-China isanda kuveza ukuphikisa kwayo i-EUDR, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokwabelana kwedatha ye-geolocation. Idatha ithathwa njengengcuphe yezokuphepha, eyenza kube nzima imizamo yokuthobela imithetho yabathumeli bangaphandle base-China.
Ukuphikisa kweChina kuyahambisana nesimo saseMelika. Muva nje, izigele zaseMelika ezingama-27 zicele i-EU ukuthi ibambezele ukuqaliswa kwe-EUDR, bethi "iwumgoqo wokuhwebelana ongakhokhisi intela." Baxwayise ngokuthi kungase kuphazamise ukuhweba ngemikhiqizo yamahlathi amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-43,5 phakathi kweYurophu ne-United States.
I-China idlala indima ebalulekile ekuhwebeni komhlaba, ikakhulukazi embonini yezingodo. Ingumnikezeli obalulekile e-EU, ehlinzeka ngemikhiqizo eminingi ehlanganisa ifenisha, i-plywood namabhokisi amakhadibhodi.
Ngenxa ye-Belt and Road Initiative, i-China ilawula ngaphezu kuka-30% wochungechunge lokuhlinzeka ngemikhiqizo yamahlathi emhlabeni jikelele. Noma yikuphi ukusuka emithethweni ye-EUDR kungaba nomthelela omkhulu kulawa maketango okunikezwayo.
Ukumelana kweChina ne-EUDR kungase kuphazamise izimakethe zomhlaba wonke zamapulangwe, amaphepha kanye nama-pulp. Lokhu kuphazamiseka kungase kubangele ukushoda nokwenyuka kwezindleko zamabhizinisi athembele kulezi zinsiza.
Imiphumela yokuhoxa kweChina esivumelwaneni se-EUDR ingase ibe mikhulu. Embonini lokhu kungasho okulandelayo:
I-EUDR imele ukushintshela ekuzibophezeleni okukhulu kwezemvelo ekuhwebeni komhlaba. Kodwa-ke, ukuzuza ukuvumelana phakathi kwabadlali ababalulekile njenge-US ne-China kuseyinselelo.
Ukuphikisa kweChina kugqamisa ubunzima bokufinyelela ukuvumelana kwamazwe ngamazwe mayelana nemithethonqubo yezemvelo. Kubalulekile ukuthi abahwebi, abaholi bamabhizinisi kanye nabenzi benqubomgomo baqonde lezi zinguquko.
Uma kuphakama izinkinga ezifana nalezi, kubalulekile ukuthi uhlale unolwazi futhi uhileleke, futhi ucabangele ukuthi inhlangano yakho ingavumelana kanjani nale mithetho eshintshayo.
