Bilateral discussion of the BFTA treaty
Most honourable representatives of the Empire of Epiphani,

a free trade and free movement agreement has been discussed many times in Auroria, however it has not yet succeeded in a single continental market. Swindenland is a cosmopolitan nation that seeks to promote responsible trade between nations so that all members benefit from it. Swindenland and Epiphani always had good relations and it only makes sense to further integrate our two friendly people for the profit of all. The Boreal Free Trade Agreement would ensure free trade, legal coordination, freedom of movement and a free economic zone between the two signatories. The Free Economic Zone would be exclusively jointly controlled by the Empire of Epiphani and the Republic of Swindenland. It encompasses the Swind channel. Vessels of both nations can move freely within this territory. The treaty proposal is attached below. The treaty is minimalistic to be as productive as possible. It will include no bureaucracy and is only temporary. When and if an Aurorian Union will materialise, this treaty immediately ceases to apply. If there are no objections to the treaty proposal then we kindly await the Epiphani Foreign Affairs Ministry to invite the Swind delegation to sign the treaty. The treaty will only come into effect after a mandatory referendum in Swindenland.

Any other nations wishing to join BFTA can apply here.
