The best way to destroy their monopoly is to find another planet with this much eezo
(1) Such a planet is very likely to develop Biotic lifeforms, which would have evolved into space faring species like the Asari. The fact that we haven't seen them is likely because they are either nonexistent or inaccessible.
(2) Reapers would have noticed such a planet and built a Relay near it, just like they did with Thessia. We haven't discovered this Relay yet, which means it is likely to be nonexistent or inaccessible.Do that to the OPEC. Perhaps they can distribute their oil equally to Europe, the U.S., Japan, and China. That would solve a lot of problems.force an equal distribution of element zero to all council races through diplomacy.
Wait...
2. Your examples are silly in this one. First of all we do not have 4 large nations running everything on Earth where one of them has a monopoly on oil. It is not applicable.
One note more: I am working from the assumption that the Asari at large do have a monopoly. If they do not, this is naturally not an applicable solution. If they do have it however you 'simply' declare that all those companies within Citadel space now belong to the Citadel.1136342t54 wrote...

Nothing
is permanent and it was not the goal either. The goal was to disperse
the Asari monopoly of Element Zero. An equal distribution model does
exactly that. If it was temporary for 200 years, you could be certain
that humanity would try to remake the deal, and so would every other
race on the council that is not Asari. The Asari would be forced to keep
the model or risk a severe political crisis. Please note the deal is
for all council races, once signed it is a very tangled web to get out
of.
Even if that would occur (which it won't) the
Asari wouldn't let them redistribute it equally. It wouldn't really help
them financially. It will only be temporary so that the races can
rebuild themselves with the extra eezo. The Asari wouldn't have no
reason to continue it after a few hundred years and most races wouldn't
mind going back to the old system since its obvious the Asari won't act
like humans and use it like a monopoly (I wouldn't even call it a
monopoly).
Also if we assume that eezo is mostly controlled by
the government and corporations (which it likely is) then things get a
little tricky. There is too much eezo in the Galaxy to say that the
Asari controlls all of it. They probably have large enough reserves in
which they controll a good chunk of it. The rest is divied up between
corporations and governments of the other races.
Anyway, you assume that other races will be satisfied with a mere 200 years of eezo. Do not kid yourself. That is extremely naive. Races almost always work for their own first, this would be no exception. There is no reason why humans, turians and salarians alike would not want this deal remade. If anything it would fall apart if one side wanted a greater part of the eezo than the others, not because the Asari suddenly say 'you had it for 200 years now all mine naya!'. It just do not work that way.
The Asari could try to pressure the galactic community by not resigning the deal, but they would be seen as villains by the rest of the galaxy. It would not just have political or diplomatic ramifications, but other races may stop to trade with them in protest, not to mention it could be forced through in the council by the three members that would be pro extending the deal: humans, salarians and turians.
Retour en haut
It would have been give equally to most Citadel races. I doubt its a monopoly since most races have their own stores of Element Zero and it isn't necessarily impossible to find. Their are multiple planets that have large element zero stores its just hard to mine.
....No thanks....
