Motion on the Status of the Strait of Adventuranza
-
Councillor Izumi Miwako spoke her peace.
"I would second the request from Councillor Tilkanas for a debate extension. We support any resolution which allows both the Federal Republic of Yosai and the Kingdom of Spain equal share of the Strait of Adventuranza or Red Strait and allowing both nations the freedom to conduct and impliment their own laws in their respective portions of the waters in said Strait. Nothing more or less. It's that simple."

Debate will be extended for 24 hours, until 22:52 GMT on November 8th, 2021.
Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -

I propose the following amendments:
AMENDMENT I
The name of this motion shall be changed to "Motion on the Status of the Red Strait," in place of its present name.
AMENDMENT II
PREAMBLE
A motion to temporarily create an international zone in the
Strait of AdventuranzaRed Strait in order to prevent an outbreak of conflict, in consideration of the recent deployment of Inimican and Reitzmic naval forces, as well as the current dispute, in the region.SECTION I: The Internationality of the Strait
I. Until the production of a final settlement of the ultimate sovereignty of the
Strait of AdventuranzaRed Strait, agreed to by both the Kingdom of Spain and the Federal Republic of Yosai, the European Union declares theStrait of AdventurazaRed Strait a zone over which no entity holds sovereignty over. Traffic and trade in this zone may be regulated only by treaty that all state actors conducting trade and traffic through the zone agree to while this motion is active.II. The above excludes the harbors and ports of the Kingdom of Spain and the Federal Republic of Yosai, as well as associated islands in the
Strait of AdventurazaRed Strait.III. A moratorium on the exploitation of maritime resources 12 nm from any coastlines as long as the territory remains without defined sovereignty, will exist.
IV. The Kingdom of Spain will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines, but will not have sovereignty over this area.
V. The Federal Republic of Yosai will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines, but will not have sovereignty over this area.
SECTION II: On a Final Settlement
I. Upon the creation of a final settlement on the ultimate sovereignty of the
Strait of AdventuranzaRed Strait, agreed to by both the Kingdom of Spain and the Federal Republic of Yosai, this motion will be made null and void, and will be superceded by said final settlement.
AMENDMENT III
III. A moratorium on the exploitation of maritime resources 12 nm from any coastlines along and within the Red Strait as long as the
territoryRed Strait remains without defined sovereignty, will exist.IV. The Kingdom of Spain will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines along and within the Red Strait, but will not have sovereignty over this area.
V. The Federal Republic of Yosai will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines along and within the Red Strait, but will not have sovereignty over this area.
Firstly, I do not think it is appropriate for the Union to be using the name "Strait of Adventuranza," which was a name first developed by Spanish explorers in the 1400s before promptly disappearing into the annals of history for the next 600 or so years, resurfacing only in the year 2020, when it was used by the Kingdom of Spain after it claimed major parts of the strait. This name is presently being used to justify the claims to the Strait; the EU should not endorse any claims at all, and thus should not be using this name. The name "Red Strait" has been used in its place, as it predates the Spanish name, if I understand it correctly, was more common prior to 2020, and does not carry the same political connotations.
My third amendment addresses the concerns of Councillor Yahontov.
Iras Tilkanas
Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen -
It seems that someone in the room has turned crazy about imperialism and piracy, trying to even accuse me of such things without knowing what my amendment will be about. It is, in fact, insulting to me that I am accused or my country is accussed of piracy for trying to submit an amendment. However, I love to prove people wrong from time to time, and today Councillor Tilkanas, I think it will be you who will be proved wrong, as it is not on the Spanish interests to establish a European level tax. These are my amendments:
Amendment I
IV. The Kingdom of Spain will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines along and within the Strait of Adventuranza, but will not have sovereignty over this area.
Amendment II
V. The Federal Republic of Yosai will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines along and within the Strait of Adventuranza, but will not have sovereignty over this area.
Amendment III
IV. The Kingdom of Spain will be recognized as having exclusive rights for the exploitation of maritime resources conducted within 12 nm from its coastlines along and within the Strait of Adventuranza, having sovereignty over this area.
but will not have sovereignty over this area.
