The evidence of limited trading capacity as a result of not being part of a free trade agreement.

In a desperate attempt to rebut our argument, the proposition managed to identify three “vital” issues which, to their broad view, are false and is some cases just absurd. Let us complement the other side’s ideas by mentioning some of the facts that the proposition unfortunately forgot to mention, this with the obvious purpose of leading the audience into a more objective and complete perspective. First of all, the proposition states that free trade doesn't move international trading, but that is abruptly overshadowed by the action of demand and supply. Sadly, and a little bit coincidentally also , they failed to mention that the model of supply and demand is part of microeconomics and that it hardly interferes drastically in macroeconomics matters (having said we may infer that it is even harder that it becomes of vital importance). If the model of supply and demand was to intervene in international trading, it would do so under the directly dependance of global trading laws (in this case FTA), what the proposition should remember is that we are living in the 21’st century and that economics as well as humankind itself evolves at a high speed rate. The result of this first proposition statement may be resumed into a confusing critic which not only lacks relevance for the topic, but also shows us the unsupportable and flawed posture that the proposition has taken. The same criteria may be applied for the tariff barrier comment made by the other team. We would like to stop and quote the proposition: “The country (importer) should make sure that it is affordable enough for the customer, so the national demand can be fulfilled.” Empty words. We would like to mention that the state is not the responsible for assuring the prices are appropriate for the consumers, and we also do not understand why the proposition is so committed into getting a weird mix of economic laws, if since the beginning the proposition has been defending the inexistence of FTA advantages, then there shouldn't be contradictions in its speech; we invite the other time into making a complete research of the events, and thus providing a much more coherent discussion. Finally we thank the proposition for offering their help in the promotion of our cause, but reject the proposal. We believe that the fact of a dozen of countries being plunged into near-bankruptcy because of the 1980's oil glut is more than enough proof to show the catastrophic effects that the absence of facilities in trading can cause [2], that the fact of loss in revenue for the Arab members from the OPEC resulting in “The Mother of all Battles”[1] constitutes sufficient evidence for proving the importance of free trade and commerce in a peacebuilding effort, but more than that we believe that all the countries in the world cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free, and for those means we stand in favor of a reciprocal politic concerning FTA and supporting, as we’ve defended from end to end during this debate, economic development in all of its extentson and for all the world. Our team begs you to oppose this motion. [1] http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/january/17/newsid_2530000/2530375.stm [2] http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/152956
