Ventismar Union Parliament Bill

The Establishment of the Bank of Rural and Coastal Development (EBRCD)

A bill to provide rural and coastal communities the needed funds to fully develop and contribute to the wider society of the member states of the Ventismarian Union.

The Responsibilities of the BRCD

1. Member states will survey areas needed for development and investment, it is the responsibility of the BRCD to accept the proposals of member states
2. The BRCD will accept funds from member states in order to carry out developments across the Ventismarian Union
3. The BRCD must finish whatever development task they have undergone and must not end investment or outsource development if said task is not finished
4. The BRCD will consult with the respective government departments and offices and offer their expert advice on current developments

Funding the BRCD

1. It is the duty of member states to contribute to the BRCD
2. The BRCD will receive the equivalent of 50 million Cappars from each member state
3. The BRCD can appeal for more funding if needed but the motion must be passed by a 70% majority in the Ventismarian Parliament and ratified by member states
4. Unused funds shall be split up and returned to the member states in the form of a rebate
5. The BRCD will not be allowed to invest in businesses in return for shares in said businesses and is equally not allowed to accept donations from any persons, governments or organisations without the approval of the Ventismarian Parliament

Leadership of the BRCD

1. The BRCD will be governed by a board of directors nominated by the Ventismarian Parliament
2. The President of the Ventismarian Parliament will get direct reports from the BRCD regarding the actions of the board of directors and the financial information including the ingoings and outgoings
3. It is the responsibility of the board of directors to ensure that the BRCD stays financial stable and in full operation at all times
4. The Ventismarian Parliament, President of the Ventismarian Parliament and member states reserve the right to request a member or members of the board of directors to be dismissed.
5. Dismissal of a member of the board of directors requires a standard majority in the Ventismarian Parliament

"We consider outrageous the demand of a fixed contribution from each member state, for a small-sized country like Felsinia the impact on the government budget would be extremely heavier than it'd be for any other member, also, our size, among many other factors, make Felsinia a country without really underdeveloped communities or vast rural areas in need of fundings, while these situations are naturally more common in larger states. So, you want us to donate a disproportioned amount of money to this bank with literally nothing in return, well, obviously we'll oppose this fraud by any means necessary."
- Martén Bûrg, Parté Sozièl Liberèl, VUSL

[Capsland]

"The areas in which the BRCD develop would be up to the member states of the Ventismarian Union. Felsinia will have ample chance to benefit from this organisation just as much as other member states. I am sure the BRCD will be just in their acceptance of contracts from member states as the member states have done so regarding the BRCD's funding. As members of this union have agreed to cooperate and work together, I understand the concerns of my MVP friend. Should these concerns be echoed by the Felsinian government, the bill will be amply amended to create a percentage based system that works for all states."
- Alexandros O'Hannigan, Social Democratic Party, SDAV

[Felsinia]

"We see no benefit in partaking in this project, and I'm speaking for my party, the governing party of Felsinia, you can try to deny it but our singularity prevents us from recouping such an investment, even if based on GDP percenages, the BRCD would, beyond any doubt, be a financial failure for Felsinia and also a bureaucratic failure for the VU, there's no reason to bring the issue of local underdevelopment to the attention of the VU, only states, regions and municipalities together have the means to intervene effectively.
A VU bank would be too distant from the actual problems of a delimited territory for doing something different from distributing money, it'd lack an overall view of the communities in their regional and national context, as well as the power to preserve the results obtained once the funding program is finished."

"I see no reason for my country to be involved in this project of yours. We initially joined the VU to improve trade for our nation, not be forced into developing some backwards communities in another country for no gain. As a representative of my country's people, I have to put my own nation above all others and I urge other Allentyrians present to do the same."
