Bill: International Trade Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Labour Party
Status[?]: passed
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: August 4059
Description[?]:
| It is important that we address the current trading situation: it's crucial that we are willing to trade with other nations and ensure we do so fairly. However, our current trade policy does not reflect our key values and certainly does not ensure the best economic situation for our citizens. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change International trade (this is a default in the absense of a specific free trade agreement or specific trade embargo)
Old value:: The nation allows for imports, but imposes tariffs and quotas in certain areas.
Current: The nation allows for imports, but imposes protectionist tariffs and quotas on all imports.
Proposed: The nation imposes reciprocal tariffs on imports, with no tariffs imposed on states which impose no tariffs on our exports.
