General Assembly Resolution #422 “Promoting Sustainable Timber” (Category: Advancement of Industry; Area of Effect: Protective Tariffs) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. This esteemed World Assembly, Recognizing the laudable efforts and purpose to uphold the quality of timber production in order to provide a sustainable future for timber production, Acknowledging that a complete ban of timber and timber product imports produced in ways non-compliant with the provisions set by this and preceding resolutions would be a detriment to timber industries of non-WA member nations, Realizing this damage to the timber industry would decrease business and lower demand, which lowers prices and forces non-compliant nations to use cost-cutting, environmentally harmful methods of production for timber, Further noting that this ban on importation would greatly hurt trade relations between WA and non WA member nations who consume timber and timber products, Discerning that this will force WA member nations to spend a significant amount more importing ‘sustainable’ timber, especially when other nations can undercut the sustainable market with unsustainable practices, Concluding that this resolution will ultimately harm the sustainability of timber rather than protect it, good intentions notwithstanding. Hereby repeals GAR#422 Promoting Sustainable Timber. |

A vote FOR this resolution is strongly encouraged. The resolution this repeal is set to nullify should never have passed in the first place. | ||
