Bill: Foreign Trade Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: De venstregrønne
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 3443
Description[?]:
Kazulian industry and agriculture must be protected from the flow of cheap goods from other countries which are leading to a loss in industrial jobs and ever decreasing profit margins for the nation's farmers. It is our belief that Kazulia should have the right to regulate all foreign trade to protect important economic sectors from unfair competition from countries which do not have the same standards in terms of wage levels, workplace safety and environmental protection. |

Message | We believe that Kazulian goods are among the best in the world, but by imposing such tariffs, we actually put off global buyers, and our warehouses will be full of goods we cannot sell. |
