The Eastern Ecros Free Trade Area, shortened EEFTA, is a trade bloc present in eastern Ecros. As of June 2023, this bloc has 5 members. It is governed by the Ampëz Charter, a founding document signed by all members. The EEFTA guarantees free movement of goods and partial free movement of people. The headquarters is located in Ampëz, Tirol. The governing organisation is the Eastern Ecrosian Council, shortened EEC.

History

Proposal

A proposal was made during the late 1960s between countries with smaller markets in Eastern Ecros to counterbalance the major economic giants, like Quebecshire. The founding members were all smaller developed and high wage economies that would otherwise prove vulnerable to the economies of scale available to Quebecshirite business.

On 19 September 1974 a convention was held in the Ampëz City Hall, where officials from the invited countries came and discussed the ideas surrounding the trade bloc. A couple of months later on 14 November 1974 the EEFTA was created, when officials from the five founding members signed the Ampëz Charter in the same building as the Headquarters is located.

Structure

Headquarters of EEFTA, Ampëz, Tirol

The Ampëz Charter established the basis for the EEFTA structure, creating the Eastern Ecros Council, commonly known as the EEC. The council is the highest-level agency of EEFTA with the authority to conduct its policy, and responsibility for compliance with the objects and time frames set forth in the charter. The council consists of ten members, two people chosen are chosen by their respective countries to represent them. All delegates serve a 6 month term. A meeting can be called whenever needed, however a mandatory meeting is held every year.
