Line 13:
The Netherlands at the time sends out numerous delegations to various Batavi nations all with a single goal. Make them produce war materials for the Netherlands and then foreign minister Klaas Muda, proposed the formalization of the already existing ties. This had several intended goals. It would make trade ties formalized, reduce the import tariffs for the war materials, while also creating a wider market for Dutch companies and entrepreneurs to export their products to diversity the Dutch economy and allow it to conduct this war without suffering from any hardships. This push was met not with unanimous agreement by all nations approached, while some nations like Taulandt, De Kaap, and Corea agreed to it far more readily, seeing this as a way to get into the wealthy European markets. Nations like Nieuw Nederlandt and by extension the Amerikaener block were far more hesitant in that they were afraid that this was just a way to pull them into a war that they had no interests in. Yet despite that Nieuw Nederlandt did agree to meet in Amsterdam on the 8th of April 1963, just at around the same time that De Langen doctrine was implemented.
These talks in Amsterdam lasted from the 8th of April up until November 3rd, 1963, and were known as the Grachten-Gesprekken, named after the canals houses they took place in. During these negotiations, Nieuw Nederlandt and the Netherlands were facing one another in different goals. The Netherlands wanted a more open market with many reduced trade tariffs or even the removal of Tariffs, while Nieuw Nederlandt wanted to keep it far more selective in its free trade. Eventually, after months of negotiations between the Netherlands and the other nations, an agreement was reached. The agreement called simply “Het cooperatie verdrag” would lay the foundations of what would become '''De organisatie der verenigde landen'''. It started with the reduction of tariffs on certain goods & products, easier movement of peopel between the nations, cultural exchange programs, the promise of economic aid between the signatories, and meeting annually in a different nation to discuss the state affairs. These agreements had the effect that while it allowed nations like Taulandt, Corea, and the Kaap to export their products to the European markets, it also made sure that Nations like NNL would protect their own key industries. It also established this council as the overall legal framework for what was to come, this thus in essence created the forbearer of de OVL.
