Bill: Foreign Investment Regulation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Green-Left Communalist Collective
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: April 3479
Description[?]:
| The Anarchaidd Syndicâd lluosflwydd (AnPerSyn) is proposing that the Chamber of Finance be able to veto investments by foreign companies, which might have a vastly differing economic mentality to the workers of Ikradon, and thus be economically influencing the future and structure of our nation's enterprises. As well as many industries now being run by private organisation and not by democratic branches of government, foreign investment may de-stabilise national, regional and local economic planning, and negatively influence the policies of the worker councils of our private industries. |

| Message | We tend to take an more internationalist approach, seeing the foreign investment as a non-issue since workers ultimately control all companies and ownership can be none other than the Council of Workers. } We feel that "foreign investment" in an Ikradonian context would simply mean that foreign companies or individuals could, with the approval of the DWC in question, be allowed to loan the company money for capital expansions, which would then be returned with a certain fee on top for the liquid capital provided.... similar to a bond issue. We feel that this would be analogous because ownership of companies does not change in Ikradon, it is wholly owned by the workers, it cannot be anything else. |

| Message | The issue of money influencing DWC actions is a pertinent one, but we do not feel that it merits requiring specific approval for every foreign capital investment. |
