Greetings fellow nations. The Glorious Northerness of Bahgum has submitted a proposal on a topic which has affected many of us. Debate and enjoy, t'is a warm up to our pending submission to free barriers in trading wives for camels, a problem particularly disturbing to our magnificent leader...but I digress...
Sir Albert (proposal below)
Eliminate delivery uncertainty
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Description: After yet another day wasted waiting in for delivery which failed to appear, our ambassador to the UN would like to table the following for discussion:
1) Working days lost to waiting for non-delivery of items totals a considerable sum to every nation.
2) The stress and irritation caused does not lead to happy citizens, leading in turn to anger led decisions.
3) There is little point in having good trade agreements and excellent goods if the delivery service is so shambolic that no-one is certain goods will appear when promised
4) A global solution to this issue would have huge positive efects on the worlds trade levels and economic growth. A weak link in the chain would be fixed.
Bahgum proposes:
a) An internationally agreed system of fines for poor couriers, equal to at least double the cost of delivery plus recovery of the wages for the numner average working persons directly affected in the waiting nation.
b) That the number of cancelled/failed/late deliveries is publicised by each company by law.
c) Date and time of day (to the nearest half day) is agreed upon order, not later.
Extra Notes..
Bahgums glorious leader also suggests that member nations may wish to enforce more stringent, and possibly more unpleasant measures and encourages them to do so. Our latest offender is currently condemmed to a fortnight of living with a mother in law. Maybe this an example of anger led decisions.....
