Bill: Unilateral Import Restriction Elimination Bill, May 4312
Details
Submitted by[?]: Partido Libertario de Egelion
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: January 4313
Description[?]:
With this bill we will eliminate all restriction on the import of foreign goods. There is no provable relationship between quantity of imports and unemployment, and import restrictions such as tariffs only make our nation poorer. |
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 imposes reciprocal tariffs on imports, with no tariffs imposed on states which impose no tariffs on our exports.
Current: The nation allows for imports, but imposes "ethical" tariffs on nations with lower environmental and labour rights standards.
Proposed: The nation does not impose any tariffs or quotas on imports.

Message | La defensa de medidas proteccionistas está basada en una serie de falacias económicas. Lo único que consiguen es empobrecer a la población nacional y enriquecer a un grupo selecto de productores. Cuando comerciamos con países extranjeros lo hacemos para conseguir lo que aquí no podemos conseguir tan barato. Si otro país elige encarecer esa compra a sus propios ciudadanos mediante medidas proteccionistas a nuestro país, adelante, pero eso no ha de guiar nuestra política. |

Message | El portavoz del gobierno tiene que volver a buscar el termino proteccionismo en el diccionareo sin animo de ofensa. Quando lo haga entenderá que nuestra economía no puede asegurarse si continuamente recibe influencias alienas. El mercado exterior tiene que esperar. Primero tenemos que construir un mercado interior, pero claro con las privatizaciones realizadas los compradores no estan seguros y solo les queda buscar naciones mas estables económicamente. Felicidades señores del PL, habeis convertido a Egelion en un gallinero de corruptos y señoritos extrangeros que no aprecian nuestros productos. La falacia es el librecambio |
