Imeko entsha ngoku ivula ngesibheno esichazwe yiNkundla yaseYurophu ngesigwebo esenziwe kuApple imeko yeerhafu ezingahlawulwanga eIreland. Kule meko, umntu ophetheyo ukubhengeza iindaba ibinguKomishinala woKhuphiswano waseYurophu, uMargrethe Vestager, ngaloo ndlela evula imeko entsha yamathuba.
NgoJuni wokugqibela Inkundla ye-European Union yagweba i-Apple kodwa bekubonakala ukuba ukhetho lwesibheno kwesi sigwebo belukhona kwaye oku kuye kwaziswa ukusuka eBrussels kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo. Kubonakala ngathi kukho iimpazamo zomthetho ekusetyenzisweni komthetho ke kuyakufuneka baphinde basiphonononge isigqibo esathathwa kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo kwiNkundla yezoBulungisa ye-EU
Yonke imali ehlawulwe yiApple isatshixiwe
Logama oku kungasombululwanga ngesigwebo sokugqibela, Imali ebihlawulwe ngaphambili yiApple isavaliwe. Ngale ndlela, i-13.000 yezigidi ze-euro, ezimalunga ne-15.000 yezigidi zeedola, ziya kukhuseleka. UVestager ngokwakhe uchaze amajelo eendaba kwingxelo:
Isigwebo seNkundla Jikelele siphakamisa imibuzo ebalulekileyo esemthethweni efanelekileyo kwiKhomishini ekusebenziseni kwayo imigaqo yoncedo lwaseburhulumenteni kumatyala ocwangciso lwerhafu. IKhomishini ikwaqwalasele ngentlonipho ukuba kwisigwebo sayo iNkundla Jikelele yenze iimpazamo ezininzi zomthetho. Ukuba amazwe angamaLungu anika izibonelelo ezithile zerhafu zamazwe angaziboneleliyo kwiintshaba zabo, oku konakalisa ukhuphiswano olufanelekileyo kwi-EU. Kufuneka siqhubeke nemizamo yokubeka umthetho ofanelekileyo ukuze sijongane ne-limbos elawulayo kunye nokuqinisekisa ukungafihli.
Ngoku kuya kuhlala kubonakala ukuba zeziphi iimpazamo abathetha ngazo kwaye kuya kufuneka ukulinda de lo mthombo ube semthethweni. Okwangoku, imeko ye-Apple enerhafu ehlawuliweyo (okanye engahlawulwanga) phakathi kuka-2003 no-2014 iya kuqhubeka nokuba ziindaba.
