Amalungu ePhalamende laseYurophu kanye noMkhandlu we-European Union avumelene ngomthetho omusha odinga ukwanda okukhulu kwenani lezindawo zokushaja kanye neziteshi zokugcwalisa uphethiloli zezimoto zikagesi kunethiwekhi enkulu yezokuthutha yaseYurophu, okuhloswe ngawo ukukhulisa ukushintshela kweYurophu ekuthuthweni okungenawo ugesi futhi kuxazululwe ukukhathazeka okukhulu kwabathengi mayelana nokuntuleka kwezindawo zokushaja/iziteshi zokugcwalisa uphethiloli ekushintsheni ekuthuthweni okungenawo ugesi.
Isivumelwano esifinyelelwe ngamalungu ePhalamende laseYurophu kanye noMkhandlu we-European Union siyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekuqedeni okwengeziwe kwemephu yomgwaqo yeKhomishini yaseYurophu ethi “Fit for 55″, umgomo ohlongozwayo we-EU wokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ebanga ukushisa kube ngu-55% wamazinga ka-1990 ngo-2030. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, isivumelwano sisekela ezinye izinto ezahlukahlukene ezigxile kwezokuthutha zemephu yomgwaqo ethi “Fit for 55″, njengemithetho edinga ukuthi zonke izimoto zabagibeli ezisanda kubhaliswa kanye nezimoto zezentengiselwano ezilula zibe yizimoto ezingenayo igesi ekhipha ukungcola ngemva kuka-2035. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kwezimoto zomgwaqo kanye nezokuthutha zasolwandle zasekhaya kuncishiswa kakhulu.
Umthetho omusha ohlongozwayo udinga ukuhlinzekwa kwengqalasizinda yokushaja umphakathi yezimoto namaveni, ngokusekelwe enanini lezimoto zikagesi ezibhalisiwe kulelo nalelo zwe eliyiLungu, ukuthunyelwa kweziteshi zokushaja okusheshayo njalo ngamakhilomitha angu-60 ku-Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) kanye neziteshi zokushaja ezizinikele zezimoto ezisindayo njalo ngamakhilomitha angu-60 kunethiwekhi eyinhloko ye-TEN-T ngo-2025, Isiteshi esisodwa sokushaja sithunyelwa njalo ngamakhilomitha angu-100 kunethiwekhi enkulu ehlanganisiwe ye-TEN-T.
Umthetho omusha ohlongozwayo uphinde ucele ingqalasizinda yesiteshi se-hydrogenation njalo ngamakhilomitha angu-200 eceleni kwenethiwekhi eyinhloko ye-TEN-T ngo-2030. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umthetho ubeka imithetho emisha yokushaja nokugcwalisa uphethiloli kubasebenzi besiteshi, okubadingayo ukuqinisekisa ukucaca kwentengo okugcwele kanye nokuhlinzeka ngezindlela zokukhokha ezijwayelekile.
Umthetho udinga futhi ukuhlinzekwa kukagesi emachwebeni nasezikhumulweni zezindiza zemikhumbi nezindiza ezimile. Ngemva kwesivumelwano sakamuva, lesi siphakamiso manje sizothunyelwa ePhalamende laseYurophu kanye naseMkhandluni ukuze samukelwe ngokusemthethweni.
