Description[?]:
| This bill asks for the ratification of the <a href="viewtreaty.php?treatyid=156">Barmenistan Free Trade Agreement</a>. If this treaty is ratified, it becomes binding and will define national law. We have been invited to join this pact. I am not entirely sure of the necessity of a bilateral trade agreement, given that we are currently in a state of fair trade with all nations. However, we are satisfied to put it before the legislature. |

| Message | OOC: NAFTA has absolutily devested the economy in my area, and I'm strongly against any kind of what is called now adays 'free trade'. This however seems like a 'fair trade' proposal. There is a difference in the terms. ------- Since this is basically only a tariff agreement, we will support. |
