Here is my first proposal.

WA Free Trade Agreement
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: MYSEF

Description: Recognising that there is a 3:1 comparison of non-member nations and WA Nations and in an attempt to improve the economy by allowing free trade amongst WA nations and hence having a strong positive impact on the WA Nation’s economies so we can become a stronger force on the world market together.

Defines Free Trade as a system in which the trade of goods and services between or within countries flows unhindered by government-imposed restrictions. Such government interventions generally increase costs of goods and services to both consumers and producers. Interventions include taxes and tariffs, non-tariff barriers, such as regulatory legislation and quotas.

Defines Aggremennt as an agreed upon legislation to promote stronger trade and commercial ties between participating countries.

This Agreement seeks to:

1)Able Free Trade of goods and services between WA Nations
2)Limit the amount of Taxes, Tariffs and non tariff barriers (regulatory legislation, quotas and quarantine)
3)Unify the WA Nations as a economic superpower (of sorts) and hence increasing the economy of all WA nations
4)To make the WA seem more appealing for other nations

CONDITIONS:
1)A WA Trade Council will be elected and will be re-elected every 6 months
a.There will be 50 Ambassadors voted into the council and they will elect a President of the council.
b.The council will meet to discuss issues monthly
c.The Ambassadors will stand for re-election every 12 months (other Ambassadors may stand for election)
d.A president may sit only for one term at a time.
e.The president may take the committee in any direction they feel necessary
f.Ambassadors must come from varying economic and political backgrounds to assure constancy and that various views are acknowledged.
2. All nations must work togeather to make the FTA work as well as possible considering there economic placement

3. Some nations may be eligable for special excemptment but will not benifit form the FTA but can still be a member of the WA.

This is open for debate so please leave your opinions
You can help this through by endorsing it via http://www.nationstates.net/26816/page=UN_proposal1 and search "Free Trade"

Thankyou fellow WA Commrads!

We applaud the aims of this resolution, but the government of the Emperor of Urgench would have extremely large objections to many aspects of this resolution. In effect this statute is promoting a very narrow and extremely specific concept of what "free trade" actually is, one we would completely dissagree with and we suspect many many other nations would do too.


In any event this resolution is probably illegal since it cannot have any exemptions and must apply to all nations.

We also note that the agreements sought aims are completely non-binding and ( even though we completely disagree with some of them, especially de-regulation) they are therefore simply words which merely add to the count and nothing more.

Here is my first proposal.

WA Free Trade Agreement
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade

This is a run-on sentence and best separated into multiple clauses.

Defines Free Trade as a system in which the trade of goods and services between or within countries flows unhindered by government-imposed restrictions. Such government interventions generally increase costs of goods and services to both consumers and producers. Interventions include taxes and tariffs, non-tariff barriers, such as regulatory legislation and quotas.

Nice definition.

Defines Aggremennt as an agreed upon legislation to promote stronger trade and commercial ties between participating countries.

"Agreement." I'm not perfect in spelling either, so don't worry about the correction.

This Agreement seeks to:

1)Able Free Trade of goods and services between WA Nations

A better word that "able" is "enable." Despite the similarity in spelling, the two have different meanings, with the usage one one making this mean something entirely different than the other does. Plus, "enable" makes more sense in this instance.

2) Limit the amount of Taxes, Tariffs and non tariff barriers (regulatory legislation, quotas and quarantine)

What's the limit? Unfortunately, a committee would be ignored and, as such, you would pretty much have to impose the limit as part of the legislation.

3)Unify the WA Nations as a economic superpower (of sorts) and hence increasing the economy of all WA nations
4)To make the WA seem more appealing for other nations

#3 is going to have the opposite effect of what #4 states. For one thing, a lot of nations, including our's, happen to prefer a lot of our autonomy. Our economic system is actually, for the most part, incompatible with certain market systems, due to how it's set up and the socio-political influences that keep it running are set up to support it. We would literally have to rebuild our economy from the ground up... and we can't afford to do that. Thus, this would likely drive away member nations.

CONDITIONS:
1)A WA Trade Council will be elected and will be re-elected every 6 months
a.There will be 50 Ambassadors voted into the council and they will elect a President of the council.
b.The council will meet to discuss issues monthly
c.The Ambassadors will stand for re-election every 12 months (other Ambassadors may stand for election)
d.A president may sit only for one term at a time.
e.The president may take the committee in any direction they feel necessary
f.Ambassadors must come from varying economic and political backgrounds to assure constancy and that various views are acknowledged.
2. All nations must work togeather to make the FTA work as well as possible considering there economic placement

3. Some nations may be eligable for special excemptment but will not benifit form the FTA but can still be a member of the WA.

I think the committee part makes this illegal, actually.

Commrads,

Well if you don't agree with the definition thats fine... its the definition from the oxford dictionary.

I'm not vary good with sentence structure and spelling,

and if the Conditions are illegal then I appoligise ... just wrote it as I see it.

Thanks for the feedback, will try to amend it
but hopefully everyone gets the idea

All other quibbles aside we should warn the honoured Ambassador that the actual aim of this resolution ie. to promote de-regulation of business and trade by using a committee of w.a. Ambassadors is something we will oppose absolutely ( if such a committee is in fact legal) and we imagine we will be joined by many many other nations in this objection.

Yes. And we will oppose it, due to how our economic system is set up.

Since, i am co-author, i should probably help with the necessary changes, first, MYSEF, just like in my telegram it's essential to NOT just say deregulation. It infringes on a countries rights to have environmental standards...etc. What would be helpful, and is currently used between the U.S. and China, is a complete elimination of all taxes within the trade deal.

such a de-regulation would be more fitting. Not what is currently in the proposal.

also, i noticed something illegal in the resolution that needs to be rewritten, MYSEF,

it's legal to create committee's to oversee things, however, it's illegal that the commitees be composed of other nations or nation representatives. I just read it in the proposal guidelines. if the proposal doesn't include nations or their representatives and i simply misunderstood, it would be wise to define "Ambassador".

i feel such a topic brought up by MYSEF is vital to the WA, and being a co-author am obliged to suggest the neccessary changes to make it better.

I propose that you include in the act a provision that allows the suspension of the act in times where the economic climate warrents

Also I suggest to exclude all agricultural product.

I'd be against this anyway, being no fan of Free Trade, but the committee structure and the optionality clause are illegal. I'd request removal of it before one of the mods bestirs themselves.
