Clarice Beaufort, High Diplomat and Representative of Her Royal & Imperial Majesty's Government of the Commonwealth of Mordusia
Quote:Dear collegues,
Our Commonwealth has listened and waited to respond to this, but we find it high time that we add our piece to the conversation. Various questions come to mind when talking about this treaty. We find it highly difficult to proceed with negotiating a free trade treaty if we cannot agree on embargo's and how other treaties affects it. Secondly we have concerns in regards to these embargo's, we differ on foreign policy. What if one of us sides with another party? What then?
Another question is on unfair competition. Some nations heavily subsidise their industries, the costs of production will be lower for them, allowing them to dump products on the market at which local industries wouldnt be able to compete. That would destroy local industry. Free trade must be free from unreasonable government interference, taxes or subsidies. If we cannot agree to that we should have a mechanism to apply tarriffs to nations who give subsidies to industries for goods they export.
