Okwangoku yimilinganiselo i-European Union efuna ukuyithatha ukuze amazwe ehlabathi afana Google, Apple, Facebook, Starbucks okanye Amazon banokunyanzelwa ukuba bachaze ingeniso kunye neerhafu zabo eYurophu ngenxa yomthetho omtsha osayilwayo.
Okwangoku umongameli wekhomishini, uJean-Claude Juncker, ucacisa ukuba eli nyathelo linomdla kwiinkampani ezinkulu ukubonisa iirhafu abazihlawulayo kwilizwe ngalinye abasebenza kulo. Ngale nto kuyenzeka thintela uxinzelelo noorhulumente basekhaya malunga nendlela yokuxela izibonelelo zakho.
Ngokusengqiqweni ezi ndaba malunga neKhomishini yaseYurophu epapashwe ngumphakathi Guardian, ikwinkqubo yokuvunywa kwaye ukuba iphela yamkelwe, iya kuziswa ekuqaleni kuka-Epreli kulo nyaka. Ngokomgaqo singangqina ukuba esi sicelo siyenziwa siyakusebenza kuzo zonke iinkampani ezisebenza kwihlabathi liphela hayi kwi-EU kuphela.
Kwaye ayisiyi-Apple kuphela ekwindawo enqumlayo kulawulo lokubaleka ukuhlawula irhafu, uninzi lwamazwe ahlukeneyo luvumelana noorhulumente ngezibonelelo zabo. Ityala elifunwe ngumkomishinala, Margrethe Vestager, esele ikubonile ukuphepha ukuhlawula irhafu e-Starbucks e-Netherlands, e-Fiat e-Luxembourg (emva koko ihlawula i-30 yezigidi zeerandi) kunye nezinye i-35 zamanye amazwe eBelgium ezihlawula i-700 yezigidi zeerandi zokuphepha ukuhlawula irhafu.
Ngomlinganiso omtsha - ukuba uphunyeziwe - iinkcukacha zerhafu zamazwe ngamazwe ziya kuboniswa kwaye ukuphepha ukuhlawula irhafu ngala mazwe makhulu kuya kuba nzima ngakumbi. Namhlanje Iapile eIreland naseAmazon eLuxembourg iphantsi kophando njengamanye amazwe amakhulu.
