ICongress of Deputies isamkele isiPhakamiso soMthetho apho uRhulumente kufuneka ahlawule zonke iirhafu ezingahlawulwanga nguApple nobunye ubuchwephesha eSpain ukusukela ngonyaka ka 2003. Sisiphakamiso esamkelwe sisininzi semibutho yezopolitiko apho, kulandela isigwebo yeKhomishini yaseYurophu ngokuchasene nokuphathwa kakuhle kweIreland nguApple, Iyabongoza ukuba zonke iirhafu athe uApple kunye nezinye iingxilimbela zobuchwephesha babenokukwazi ukuphepha ukusebenzisa ezi ndlela, ukuba abanye bafaneleke njengabangekho mthethweni kwaye abanye baqinisekisa ukuba baphakathi kwenkululeko nokuzimela kukarhulumente ngamnye, bayafunyanwa nguRhulumente. Ngaba sisithambiso elangeni okanye ngaba kukho nto ithile isisiseko sesi sicelo?
Yonke le nto iqale ngeli hlobo ngesohlwayo esenziwe yiKhomishini yaseYurophu eIreland ekufuneka ibuyise izigidi zezigidi zeerandi ezazingahlawulwanga yinkampani yaseCupertino kwingxowa mali yaseIreland ngokweeakhawunti zekhomishini. I-Ireland, isebenzisa ukuzimela kwayo kunye nenkululeko, yanika iApple (kwaye iyaqhubeka isenza njalo) iimeko zerhafu ezingaphumeleliyo ezinokuthi zitshintshise ngokusebenza kwelo lizwe zisindise isandla esihle sezigidi zeerandi kwirhafu. IYurophu ikuthatha oku kungalunganga kwaye iqinisekisa ukuba iApple kufuneka ihlawule oko ikutyalayo, nangona otyholwayo eqinisekisa ukuba akukho tyala linjalo, elenza imeko engathandekiyo. Ewe, kubonakala ngathi iSpain ifuna ukujoyina i-bandwagon kwaye iza kufuna kwi-Apple ukuba zonke iirhafu ezingakhange zihlawulwe kwilizwe lethu ngenxa yokusetyenziswa kweendlela zemali, enokuthi ibe ye-unorthodox kodwa iApple iqinisekisa ukuba iyahambelana nomthetho, ngoku zihlawulwe ngokuzithandela ukuqala ngo-2003.
Into yokuqala eya kuthi ibonakaliswe yile nto isindululo sisekwe ekuqinisekiseni ukuba iApple ayihlawulanga oko ikutyalayo kwilizwe lethu, into inkampani yeCupertino ngokuqinisekileyo engayi kuyamkela nangayiphi na indlela. U-Apple uxele ngalo lonke ixesha ukuba uyayihlawula into ayityalayo kwaye iiakhawunti zakhe zihambelana ngokupheleleyo nomthetho, kwaye uya kusikhusela esi sikhundla phambi kwayo nayiphi na inkundla eya kuthi ekugqibeleni igqibe ukuba ingaba kuye kwakho irhafu okanye hayi. Okwangoku, into ekufuneka yenziwe ngamalungu angamalungu eManyano yaseYurophu kukusebenza ukuze iindawo zerhafu ngaphakathi kuManyano ngokwazo zingabinandawo.
