Ngo-Agasti 30 2023 eMadrid, abaphathiswa bezokhuselo be-European Union kunye noMmeli oPhezulu uJosep Borrell bahlanganisana kwi-European Union Satellite Centre (EU SatCen) eTorrejón de Ardoz, eSpain kwintlanganiso. Lo msitho ukhethekileyo uphawule isikhumbuzo seSatCen kwaye uqaqambise indima yayo ebalulekileyo kumgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle we-EU, ukhuseleko kunye nomanyano lokhuselo.
Edityaniswe nebambela likaMphathiswa wezoKhuselo uMargarita Robles Borrell uchophele intlanganiso kunye neBhodi yabaLawuli beSatCen. Ukhenkethe amagumbi okusebenzela akumgangatho ophezulu kunye nesakhono sobuntlola be-geospatial. Le ngqungquthela ibalulekileyo yenzeke phambi kwendibano yabaphathiswa bezokhuselo be-EU eToledo phantsi komongameli waseSpain weBhunga leManyano yaseYurophu.
“I-SatCen isinika umbono wehlabathi ovumela ukuba kwenziwe izigqibo ezinolwazi ukukhusela abemi baseYurophu kunye nezinto anomdla kuzo” utshilo uBorrell ngexesha lotyelelo lwakhe. “Namhlanje abaphathiswa bazibonele ngokwabo ukuba ooSatCens basekwe kwisithuba semithombo bahlala bebeka iliso kwiindawo ezishushu kunye neentlekele kwihlabathi liphela. Sikwaxoxe ngezicwangciso zokwandisa kakhulu amandla e-SatCens ukukhawulelana neemfuno zekamva laseYurophu.”
U-Robles ugxininise ukuba idatha ye-SatCen engahambelaniyo ye-geospatial kunye nohlalutyo lunexabiso kwiindawo ezohlukeneyo zomdla weqhinga laseYurophu - ukusuka ekulweni nabanqolobi ukuya kwiinzame zobuntu kunye nokhuseleko loluntu.
"I-SatCen idlala indima ekuqhubeleni phambili phambili kunye nokuqinisekisa ukhuseleko kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo ezibandakanya ukujongana nokuhlaselwa kweRashiya e-Ukraine ukulawula imingeni enxulumene nokufuduka okungaqhelekanga kunye nokujongana neentlekele zendalo ezibangelwa utshintsho lwemozulu "wagxininisa.
Ngoko ke yintoni iZiko leSatellite leManyano yaseYurophu (SatCen)?
Ekuqaleni yasekwa ngo-1992 njenge-arhente phantsi kwe-Western European Union (engasekhoyo) i-SatCen yaba liziko le-EU ngokusemthethweni ngoJanuwari 1 2002. Ngekomkhulu layo eliseMadrid, injongo yayo ephambili kukubonelela ngobuntlola kumaziko e-EU kunye namazwe angamalungu ukuba ukuxhasa uMgaqo-nkqubo oQhelekileyo waMazwe angaPhandle noKhuseleko (CFSP) ngakumbi uMgaqo-nkqubo woKhuselo noKhuseleko oluQhelekileyo (CSDP).
Imisebenzi ebalulekileyo yeSatCen ibandakanya;
- Ukuvelisa ubukrelekrele kwangexesha ukwazisa imisebenzi ye-EU, ucwangciso kunye nokusabela kwintlekele.
- Ukomeleza iinzame zokulawula iingalo zamazwe ngamazwe, amanyathelo angaqhawukiyo kunye nokuqinisekiswa kwezivumelwano zamazwe ngamazwe.
- Ukuphucula izenzo zokulwa nobunqolobi kunye nokulwa ulwaphulo-mthetho olulungelelanisiweyo.
- Ukuphucula ukulungela iimeko ezingxamisekileyo kunye nokusabela ngokufanelekileyo kwiintlekele zendalo.
- Ukukhuthaza itekhnoloji yendawo ephambili kunye nezixhobo.
Ngokusebenzisa uluhlu lwee-asethi ze-geospatial ezinjengomfanekiso wesathelayithi kunye nesakhono sokulandelela ixesha lokwenyani i-SatCen ibonelela ngobukrelekrele besilumkiso kwangethuba obuxabiseke kakhulu. Oku kuvumela ulungelelwaniso lwezozakuzo, ezoqoqosho, ezoluntu kunye nokhuselo loluntu, yi-EU xa ijongene neengxaki ezivelayo okanye imingeni yokhuseleko.
I-SatCen idlala indima ekudityanisweni kokhuselo lwaseYurophu kunye nokuqinisekisa uzinzo ngaphaya kwemida ye-EU. Njengoko izoyikiso ziya zisiba nzima ngakumbi kwaye zisasazeka ukubaluleka kweSatCen ekwenzeni imigaqo-nkqubo ye-EU kunye nokusabela kuyakhula.
UMlawuli uSorin Ducaru, oqeshwe nguMmeli oPhezulu uye wakhokela kwi-SatCen ukususela ngoJuni 2019. Oku kuqeshwa kwenziwa yiBhodi yoLawulo yeSatCen, equlethwe ngabameli abavela kuwo onke amazwe angama-27 e-EU.
Ngenxa yokudibana kweengxaki ezinzima eYurophu, utyelelo olukwinqanaba eliphezulu lwakutsha nje luqaqambise indawo eyandayo yeSatCen kukhuseleko kunye neenzame zokhuselo kwiManyano yaseYurophu.
Ingqwalasela ibikukwandisa amandla eSatCen, izibonelelo kunye nefuthe lokusebenzela umdla wangoku weqhinga leYurophu ngelixa ikwalungiselela imingeni eneenkalo ezininzi yexesha elizayo. Ngempahla yayo, i-SatCen ikwindawo entle yokuqhuba kwaye iququzelele ukudityaniswa kokhuselo lwaseYurophu ixesha elide elizayo.
