RECOGNISING that protectionist economic policies, by restricting the free flow of trade, seriously hinder the economic development of nations,

CONVINCED that free flow of trade greatly improves economic growth, technological development, and purchasing power, giving all nations the opportunity to specialise on their most efficient industries and acquire goods they are not equiped to produce,

CERTAIN that a common market in the trade of automotive technology and equipment will create economic development, sustainability, and technological dissemination, benefiting all member nations,

ESTABLISHES the United Nations Free Trade Agreement for the Automotive sector (UNFTAA):

-1- REQUIRES all member nations to phase out all protectionist devices in the trade of Automotive technology and equipment, including but not limited to tariffs, duties, production subsidies and import quotas;

-2- ENCOURAGES global cooperation in the development and distribution of automotive technology, with special emphasis on environmentally friendly technology;

-3- URGES member nations to minimise all barriers to free competition, including but not limited to trusts, cartels, dumping, price coordination, and excessive market power, ensuring they do not limit the benefits of the UNFTAA;

-4-AUTHORIZES the United Nations Free Trade Commission (UNFTC) to arbitrate any trade disputes which may arise concerning the interpretation of the UNFTAA;

-5- DECLARES that member nations retain the right to employ retaliatory tariffs towards non-UN nations;

-6- MANDATES a timeline for implementation not exceeding five years in length.

Nay.

I am not opposed to free trade as outlined in the resolution, however I feel that this bill only glancingly adresses the issue of Automotive Free Trade. Companies will always group toghter into one of two camps (High Price/Low Price). Second the UN has no authority to arbitrate such disputes. Third, the Acrynom for the Resolution bugs me to the point of not liking it.

Let me respond to the previous post's assertions:

Please explain how low/high price groupings affect the free flow of autos in any way.

Second, the UN does have authority to arbitrate disputes, as was created in the Global Food Distribution Act. It is known as the Free Trade Commission.

Read it.

Third, apologies that the name of a resolution would get in the way of reasoned arguments for and against it.

I'm FOR this.

The UN has every right to regulate international trade, similar to how Congress in the United States has every right to regulate interstate commerce.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
