Organisatie der verenigde landen: Difference between revisions

 

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.
