* Sir Gustav Hertmann proudly watch the result of his work: what was once but a mere storage cabinet for cleaning supplies is now the new meeting hall of the powerful Economic Council. Granted, the overturned-bucket-seats aren't exactly comfortable, and it might get a bit cramped if more than two delegates try to attend the Council session at once, but it's better than nothing. And a bit of discomfort is nothing a couple brandies and a stiff upper lip won't overcome! Turning to the delegates stuck in the entryway, Sir Gustav starts his speech.*

"My dear fellows, it is my great pleasure to welcome you in this chamber. As you know, our committee is one of the most powerful in this Assembly, so our responsabilities are great. As a reminder, I've put up a poster with the relevant sections of the Assembly Charter behind that broom."

CHAPTER 5: ECONOMIC COUNCIL

SECTION 1: ELECTION
The committee of the Economic Council shall comprise of five delegates, chosen by the Board of First Nations.

SECTION 2: RESPONSIBILITIES
The Economic Council must do everything in its power to ensure the financial and economic stability of the world. The following actions may be taken by the Economic Council to this end:

Creation of a Trade Agreement
This action on the behalf of two chosen member nations of the United Assembly creates a formal trade agreement between the two countries. The first nation will provide access to the specified resources in exchange for access to the specified resources of the second nation, provided that both nations are actually capable of honoring this agreement. If it passes, this action must be passed on to the General Assembly.

Canceling of a Trade Agreement
This action on behalf of two chosen member nations of the United Assembly suspends a trade agreement previously established between the two countries, taking it out of effect. If it passes, this action must be passed on to the General Assembly.

Creation of an Agency
This action establishes an agency under the supervision of the United Assembly to accomplish a specified goal. If it passes, this action must be passed on to the General Assembly.

Suspension of an Agency
This action suspends an agency previously established by the United Assembly. If it passes, this action must be passed on to the General Assembly.

Creation of an Advisory Board
This action establishes an advisory board under the United Assembly, which will research the specified topic and periodically report on it to the United Assembly. If it passes, this action must be passed on to the General Assembly.

Suspension of an Advisory Board
This action suspends an advisory board previously established by the United Assembly. If it passes, this action must be passed on to the General Assembly.

"As you can see, our powers cover three areas: Trade Agreement, Advisory Boards and Agencies, which we can create and destroy with the cooperation of the General Assembly. As Chairman of this committee, I will be leading the proceedings. I propose to start by a frank discussion of what you thing should be done before we actually propose proposals.

My main concern for this committee is trade, or the lack of it. I think we should start trying to set in motion a large, multilateral trade agreement to boost our economies and improve our people's lot."
