Alliance Business Association challenges salarian tariff
January 31st, 2011
The Alliance Business Consortium has protested a .5% tariff that the salarian government recently levied on Alliance manufactured personal transportation units. The Business Consortium has called the tariff “crass protectionism, in violation of Citadel protections for free trade.” The salarians, meanwhile, defend the tariff as “both necessary and legal,” and have stated that the money is “used to pay for inspectors who ensure that human goods meet salarian safety standards.”
It is expected that both sides will argue their case to the Citadel Council next month. In the meantime, fear has grown within the Alliance business community that this dispute could contribute to increased tension with a key trade partner, as well as grow support for extremist figures within Alliance politics. The Terra Firma Party has already issued a statement that blasts the Salarians, and uses the incident to argue support for their candidates and platform.
