Amasu amasha we-genomic (NGT) amasu okuguqulwa kofuzo okuhlosiwe (ukuguqulwa noma ukufakwa kofuzo olulodwa noma ngaphezulu kumasayithi athile ku-genome)
Umthethonqubo ohlongozwayo - ngokuhambisana ne European I-Green Deal kanye nesu le-Farm to Fork - ibeka imithetho ethile yokukhishwa ngamabomu kanye nokubekwa emakethe yezitshalo ze-NGT nokudla okuhlobene nokudla okuhlobene. Njengamanje, izitshalo ezitholwe ama-NGT zingaphansi kwemithetho efanayo nama-GMO. Ukukhombisa kangcono amaphrofayili ahlukene obungozi bezitshalo ze-NGT, isiphakamiso sidala izindlela ezimbili ezihlukene zezitshalo ze-NGT ukuthi zibekwe emakethe.
Embikweni osalungiswa, umlobi ucele irejista ye-EU efanayo yezitshalo zeSigaba 1 NGT ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukulandeleka. Kube nezichibiyelo ezicela ku-1200 ezifakiwe ezithinta zonke iziphakamiso zeKhomishana. I-rapporteur iphinde yafaka izinhlinzeko ezingafaki izitshalo ze-NGT ekutholeni ilungelo lobunikazi.
Ukuze senze isistimu yethu yokudla iqine futhi iqine, ama-MEP asekela imithetho emisha yezitshalo ezithile ze-NGT, kodwa leyo engalingani nezitshalo ezivamile kufanele ilandele imithetho eqinile.
IKomidi Lezemvelo, Impilo Yomphakathi kanye Nokuphepha Kokudla ngoLwesithathu lamukele isikhundla salo mayelana noku Isiphakamiso sekhomishini ku-New Genomic Techniques (NGT), ngamavoti angu-47 kwabangu-31 kanye nabangu-4 abangavotwanga.
Ama-MEP avumelana nesiphakamiso sokuthi kube nezigaba ezimbili ezihlukene kanye namasethi amabili emithetho yezitshalo ze-NGT. Izitshalo ze-NGT ezithathwa njengezilingana nezivamile (izitshalo ze-NGT 1) zizokhululwa ezidingweni ze Umthetho we-GMO, kuyilapho i-NGT 2 itshala lo mthetho uvumelanisa uhlaka lwe-GMO kulezo zitshalo ze-NGT.
Ama-MEP futhi ayavuma ukuthi zonke izitshalo ze-NGT kufanele zihlale zivinjelwe ekukhiqizeni okuphilayo njengoba ukuhambisana kwazo kudinga ukucatshangelwa okwengeziwe.
Izitshalo ze-NGT 1
Ezitshalweni ze-NGT 1, ama-MEP achibiyele imithetho ehlongozwayo ngosayizi nenani lokulungiswa okudingekayo ukuze isitshalo se-NGT sithathwe njengelingana nezitshalo ezivamile. Ama-MEP futhi afuna ukuthi imbewu ye-NGT ilebulwe ngokufanelekile futhi amise uhlu olusesidlangalaleni lwe-inthanethi lwazo zonke izitshalo ze-NGT 1.
Nakuba bekungeke kube khona ukulebula okuphoqelekile ezingeni labathengi bezitshalo ze-NGT 1, ama-MEP afuna iKhomishini ibike ukuthi umbono wabathengi nabakhiqizi ngamasu amasha uthuthuka kanjani, eminyakeni eyisikhombisa ngemva kokusebenza.
Izitshalo ze-NGT 2
Ezitshalweni ze-NGT 2, ama-MEP avuma ukugcina izimfuneko zomthetho we-GMO, okuhlanganisa ukulebula okuyisibopho kwemikhiqizo.
Ukuze kugqugquzelwe ukuthatha kwawo, ama-MEP nawo avumelana nenqubo esheshiswayo yokuhlola ubungozi, ecabangela amandla awo okufaka isandla ohlelweni lokudla kwezolimo oluzinzile, kodwa agcizelele ukuthi lokho okubizwa ngokuthi isimiso sokuzivikela kumele ihlonishwe.
Vimbela wonke amalungelo obunikazi afakwe ezitshalweni ze-NGT
Ama-MEP achibiyela isiphakamiso sokwethula ukuvinjelwa okugcwele kwamalungelo obunikazi kuzo zonke izitshalo ze-NGT, izinto zezitshalo, izingxenye zazo, ulwazi lofuzo kanye nezici zenqubo eziqukethwe, ukuze kugwenywe ukungaqiniseki okungokomthetho, izindleko ezikhulayo kanye nokuncika okusha kubalimi nakubafuyi. Ama-MEP aphinde acele umbiko ngo-June 2025 ngomthelela wamalungelo obunikazi ekufinyeleleni kwabalimi nabalimi ezintweni ezihlukahlukene zokuzalanisa izitshalo kanye nesiphakamiso somthetho sokubuyekeza imithetho ye-EU mayelana namalungelo empahla yengqondo ngokufanele.
Izinyathelo ezilandelayo
IPhalamende lihlelelwe ukuthi lamukele igunya lalo ngesikhathi seseshini yesi-5-8 kuFebhuwari 2024, ngemuva kwalokho isilungele ukuqala izingxoxo namazwe angamalungu e-EU.
Ama-NGT angasiza ukwenza uhlelo lwethu lokudla luzinze futhi lukwazi ukumelana naso ngokwakha izinhlobo zezitshalo ezithuthukisiwe ezikwazi ukumelana nesimo sezulu, ukumelana nezinambuzane, ezinikeza isivuno esiphezulu noma ezidinga umanyolo nezibulala-zinambuzane ezimbalwa.
Imikhiqizo eminingana ye-NGT isivele ikhona noma isenqubweni yokutholakala emakethe ngaphandle kwe-EU (isb. ubhanana e-Philippines ongabi nsundu, onamandla okunciphisa udoti wokudla kanye nokukhishwa kwe-CO2). I-European Food Safety Authority ine ihlole izinkinga zokuphepha ezingaba khona kwe-NGTs.
