Ondrej Holzman I-European Commission inqume ukuthi i-Apple isebenzise ikhefu lentela elingekho emthethweni e-Ireland phakathi kuka-2003 no-2014 futhi manje kufanele ikhokhele ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-13 (imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-351) ngalokhu. Uhulumeni wase-Ireland noma i-Apple abavumelani nesinqumo futhi bahlele ukufaka isikhalazo.
Inhlawulo engaphezulu yezigidigidi eziyishumi nantathu inhlawulo yentela enkulu kunazo zonke eyake yabekwa yi-European Union, kodwa akukabi naso isiqiniseko sokuthi inkampani yaseCalifornia izogcina iyikhokhe ngokugcwele yini. Isinqumo somlawuli waseYurophu asithandwa yi-Ireland futhi, ngokuqondakalayo, noma yi-Apple ngokwayo.
Umenzi we-iPhone, onekomkhulu lawo laseYurophu e-Ireland, bekufanele axoxisane ngokungemthetho ngenani lentela elincishisiwe ezweni eliyisiqhingi, akhokhe ingxenye encane yaleyo ntela yebhizinisi esikhundleni sokukhokha izinga lezwe elijwayelekile elingamaphesenti ayi-12,5. Ngakho lalingekho ngaphezu kwephesenti elilodwa, elihambisana nezilinganiso zalokho okubizwa ngokuthi izizinda zentela.
Ngakho-ke, i-European Commission manje, ngemva kophenyo lweminyaka emithathu, inqume ukuthi i-Ireland kufanele ifune irekhodi lama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-13 ku-giant yaseCalifornia njengesinxephezelo sentela elahlekile. Kepha ungqongqoshe wezeziMali wase-Ireland usememezele ukuthi "akavumelani neze" nalesi sinqumo futhi uzofuna ukuthi uhulumeni wase-Ireland azivikele.
Kuyaxaka ukuthi ukukhokha izintela ezengeziwe ngeke kube izindaba ezinhle e-Ireland. Umnotho wayo ngokuyinhloko usekelwe ekuphulweni kwentela okufanayo, ngenxa yalokho hhayi i-Apple kuphela, kodwa futhi, isibonelo, i-Google noma i-Facebook nezinye izinkampani ezinkulu zamazwe ngamazwe zinendlunkulu yazo yaseYurophu e-Ireland. Ngakho-ke kungalindeleka ukuthi uhulumeni wase-Ireland uzolwa nesinqumo seKhomishini YaseYurophu futhi yonke ingxabano cishe izoxazululwa iminyaka eminingana.
Kodwa-ke, umphumela wezimpi ezilindelekile zasenkantolo uzoba obaluleke kakhulu, ikakhulukazi njengesibonelo kwamanye amacala anjalo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela kokubili e-Ireland kanye nohlelo lwayo lwentela, kanye naku-Apple uqobo kanye nezinye izinkampani. Kodwa noma ngabe i-European Commission iphumelele futhi u-Apple kufanele akhokhe ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-13, ngeke kube yinkinga enjalo kuye ngokombono wezezimali. Lokhu kungaba cishe ngaphansi kwamaphesenti ayisikhombisa ezindawo ezigciniwe ($215 billion).
Ukuthi u-12.5% noma u-0.005% usewumehluko omkhulu omangazayo futhi umbuzo ophakamayo ukuthi kungani uma i-Apple ikhululiwe entela, kungani kungenjalo abanye. Kuyinhlekelele e-Ireland, ngoba akekho otshala imali lapha ngenxa yentela ephansi.
Akuyona nje i-Apple enenzuzo efanayo. Umbuzo uthi kungani befuna ukubuyiselwa imali kwa-Apple kuphela. Njengoba uTim eshilo kufanele, lapho sebeyifuna emuva kwawo wonke umuntu, amafu ezinkampani zase-Ireland naseYurophu azoguqa phambi kwabo. Futhi uma bengayifuni kuwo wonke umuntu, kusobala ukuthi iyabandlulula. nokho, angiqondi ukuthi bangayala kanjani i-Ireland ukuthi yenze okuthile osekuneminyaka isebenza futhi kwenziwa njengengxenye yezinxephezelo zentela ezweni lakithi.
Bafuna imali ku-Apple manje, ngoba kufanele uqale nomuntu futhi ukuba inkampani ecebe kakhulu akuyona inzuzo ngaso sonke isikhathi :D. Lapho ethola isiqeshana esivela kwaMicrosoft (okwakuyinkampani ecebe kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi, ngendlela) ngenxa yezizathu ezithile ezingaqondakali, wonke umuntu wayevele amfisele lokho, futhi uma u-Apple kufanele akhokhele lokho angazange akuthathe ngokungemthetho, khona-ke ndoda empofu. Ngakho akukhona ngenhlanhla. Futhi wayala e-Ireland. Sengike ngabhala ngakho kwenye indawo, kodwa kuyadingeka ukuqaphela ukuthi okwenziwa yi-Ireland kuwukukhwabanisa emthethweni we-EU. Futhi njenge-Ireland, i-Apple ikwazi kahle lokhu. Kwavele kwamfanela, kunjalo. Futhi ungakuhlanganisi nekhefu lentela. Lapha, i-Apple (nabanye abafana nayo) intela yehliswe isikhathi esingaziwa, futhi lokhu kumane kuphambene nomthetho we-EU. Futhi ukuthi isikhulu esithile kuhulumeni sahlela? Okwe-a) akukaze kube khona isikhathi eside futhi b) kusesemthethweni.
Angikuboni ngempela njengokuphikisa. Kodwa kufanele bacele i-Ireland ukuthi ibuyisele imali esikhwameni. Umbuzo uthi zikude kangakanani noma zaziboshelwe ku-EU X eminyakeni edlule. Noma kunjalo, i-Apple inesivumelwano esisemthethweni nombuso.
Njengengxenye yezinzuzo zokutshala izimali, u-Fo*conn Kutná Hora wayene/ene, isibonelo, iholide lentela leminyaka engu-10... Akusona isivumelwano esingekho emthethweni leso?
Akukhona, uma lokhu kubhalwe ndawana thize emthethweni, ukuthi izwe elinikeziwe linganikeza ukwesekwa kwenkampani uma ifuna ukuyiheha ezweni. Kodwa u-Apple ubelokhu ekhona a) iminyaka embalwa kakade - U-Cook ngokwakhe ubhala ukuthi ihhovisi e-Ireland lavulwa eminyakeni engu-40 edlule, ngakho-ke asikhulumi ngokuheha abatshalizimali, futhi b) kusazoba nenkinga ngendlela u-Apple ahamba ngayo. inzuzo yayo esuka kwamanye amazwe eya e-Ireland ukuze igweme ukukhokha izintela zezinkampani emazweni okusuka kuwo inzuzo. Futhi ku-c) kuzomele achaze ukuthi bathola kanjani intela ka-0,005% ekubeni babevumelene ngokuthi bazoba no-2%.
Ngokuphindaphindiwe. Awukwazi ukuba nesivumelwano somthetho uma usisayina ngokwephula umthetho. Lokho kufana nokuthi unesivumelwano sokuthi ungadubula noma ngubani ngokusemthethweni, okuyinto ephambene nomthetho. Lapho isayina inkontileka, izinhlangothi zombili ziyazi ukuthi akumele zephule umthetho, futhi u-Apple kwakungafanele asayine isivumelwano esinjalo. Ukuthi wayisayina inkinga yakhe manje sekunemiphumela. Okungajwayelekile wukuthi i-EC ithi isinqumo sizosebenza ngokuhlehla, imvamisa inkontileka izosulwa futhi akekho ofuna okuthile komunye. Kodwa sikhuluma ngemali enkulu lapha... :D Ngaphandle kwalokho, i-Ireland ibiyingxenye ye-EU cishe iminyaka engu-40 (ijoyine ngo-1973 - ngaleso sikhathi i-European Community), ngakho-ke iyazi kahle ukuthi izibopho bawele phezu kwayo, abakwazi ukubeka izaba ngalokho.
Futhi mayelana nembuyiselo, uyi-hokey kancane lapha. I-EC ayifuni i-Ireland ibuyise noma yini, ayikho lapho ingaya khona, lezo yizintela zezinkampani ezingezase-Ireland. Ngokuphambene nalokho, empeleni usho lapha ukuthi i-Ireland ngummangali, ngoba ungumxazululi wezezimali okhokhisa i-Apple ngokudiliva. Futhi yonke imisindo yase-Ireland ukuthi, vele, yesaba ukuthi izinkampani ezifana ne-Apple, Google, Facebook, futhi angazi ukuthi ubani omunye ozobalekela izwe ngokusekelwe kulesi sinqumo futhi alahlekelwe yinzuzo yalo. Kodwa i-Ireland isathakazelisa lezi zinkampani, ngoba mhlawumbe izintela eziphansi ezinjalo zezinkampani azikho ngisho nase-EU ... ngakho mhlawumbe iLuxembourg neNetherlands.
Futhi ememeza Apple? Akukona ngisho ngale mali njengoba enjalo, nakuba ubani ongafuna ukukhokha 13/14 bhiliyoni EU lapho bahlela "ukuyidla". Kodwa inkinga, ngokwesibonelo, ukuthi manje uzomane akhokhe izintela ngenani elivamile futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, uzobhekwa ngokuphathelene nentela emazweni adayiswayo, angayenzanga ngendlela kaSolomoni futhi angayenzanga ngendlela kaSolomoni. wathutha, njengoba i-dfx ibhala ngenhla, yonke imali ayithole e-Ireland. Ngakho-ke amazwe afana neJalimane, iFrance, i-UK, kodwa nathi sifike safushane. Futhi sikwenye indawo ngokuphelele, ngoba ngokuzumayo inzuzo yakhe izoncishiswa kakhulu. ukufanekisa nje ngo-2011: isibonelo, iKhomishana yathi ngo-2011 i-Apple Sales International yabika inzuzo yama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-22, kodwa ngokusekelwe esinqumweni sentela, cishe ama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-50 kuphela abhekwa njengentela e-Ireland, kuyilapho i-15,95 yezigidigidi zama-euro. yahlala ingakhokhiswa intela. Futhi lokho kumayelana….
Kodwa yebo, ngakuqonda, kwabonakala kungenangqondo kimi futhi ngangingazi ukuthi i-Ireland yaba nini ilungu le-EU nokuthi isivumelwano esishiwo mayelana nokukhokhwa kwezintela sifinyelelwa nini. Kunoma yikuphi, ikakhulukazi i-Ireland okufanele inake, futhi ukuthi, ngakolunye uhlangothi, izothola imali. Ngaphandle uma enza isivumelwano (ngokuyimfihlo) no-Apple sokuyibuyisela kuye njengengxenye yokuthile :)
I-EU ilwa "nezindawo zentela" ngaphakathi kwemakethe eyodwa ye-EU. Kulungile. Kodwa ngeke iphinde iphazamise izivumelwano eziphethwe phakathi kwamazwe angamalungu e-EU nezinkampani ezizimele.
Ingayala umbuso ukuthi ungaqedi ezinye izinkontileka, noma income ukuqedwa kwezinkontileka ezikhona ezimbi. Esimeni lapho i-Ireland, ngaphansi kwengcindezi evela ku-EU, iphinda intela noma iyiphi inkampani ezimele -> ukuzicebisa ngokungafanele -> ukulamula kwamazwe ngamazwe ngokumelene ne-Ireland (hhayi i-EU).
Kodwa-ke angakwazi, ngoba inkontileka iphikisana nomthetho wamanje. Futhi yilokho okumayelana, ukuthi isivumelwano asisebenzi ngenxa yokuthi izwe eliyilungu alikwazi ukwehlisa izintela zezinkampani ngazinye. Futhi yingakho ukulethwa. Futhi njengoba i-Apple empeleni "ingenacala" kulokhu - noma ngabe i-Apple kungafanele isayine inkontileka engqubuzana nomthetho, i-Ireland iyibambe ngempela - ngakho-ke akukho unswinyo nezijeziso.
I-Ireland empeleni yafaka imali ngakho. Uma ngilinganisela ukuthi i-Ireland ino-2% wabantu be-EU yonke, futhi i-Apple ayizange iyikhokhe intela kwenye indawo e-EU, khona-ke intela engu-1% yenzuzo evela kuyo yonke i-EU cishe intela engu-50% yenzuzo ye-Apple e-Ireland.
Ngenxa yalokho, i-Apple yakhokha kuphela intela yenzuzo egcwele ye-EU e-Ireland. Bekunenzuzo kukho kokubili i-Ireland ne-Apple, kodwa ezinye izifunda ze-EU zazingenalutho enteleni yenzuzo yakwa-Apple emazweni azo.
