D'arcor! D'arcor!

I can see the ostrich's tail is high up and pointing upwards. I take it that it's head must be buried in the sand.

Yep! The ostrich's tail is pointing skywards; the head must be planted elsewhere.

That man sounds like the typically-repeated CARICOM end-down-time leisure travel communique, at one of the famed resorts in one of the member countries.

Quote, 'The meeting was a tremendous success. We postponed all the critical decisions for the next meeting'.

40 years of CARICOM BULLSHIT!

Mate is so full of it! Mate believes that we have to take loads of BS from the last government and this government, that we should entertain other rounds of pure BS from foreigners?

The report speaks for it self...against this backdrop the summit in St.Lucia is meaningless and baseless.

It cannot solve anything - It cannot change the 2008 agreement - members cannot agree on anything and implement it ---so what's the point.

Just another liberals boys club for chatter and pleasantries.

Why not just shut the whole crappy show down? Who do these dumb ministers think they are fooling?

After all the behind-the-scenes horse-trading the governments settled for mate. Now he comes here shooting pure shate.

Who the hell he thinks he is talking to? Backwoodsmen, retards, and idiots in Jamaica's hills sharing a spliff?

CARICOM IS SO FRIGGING DEAD, that the government of T and T is still shooting and jailing Bajan fishermen who drift into their territorial waters.

How god damn friendly is that? What the hell is the value of that blasted Agreement? Do you see that happening in the EU?

Kenny, if you are a real patriot, get Saint Lucia out of this load of moribund crap called CARICOM.

The god damn agreement is NOT even worth the blasted paper it is written on.

A responsible EU, concerned about economic stability in the Caribbean, would acknowledge the difficulties that the region is facing and try to engage in a constructive dialogue that would waive the tariff reductions at this time, and, in a spirit of cooperation, negotiate a period of deferment. Indeed, it would seem appropriate that this is precisely what all Caribbean signatory states to the EPA should be aiming to do, and they should be doing so collectively through the CARICOM Secretariat.

It is unfortunate that the EU spokesperson would talk of “arbitration” and not negotiation. It is up to the Caribbean countries to place the option of re-negotiation firmly on the table, and while each of them has signed the EPA individually, they must fight their corner collectively. It is certain that, if some of the small island states of the Caribbean are among the eight who may be taken to arbitration, they do not have the means to do so effectively. This was always one of the perils of the EPA, but it is one that Caribbean governments accepted when they signed it.

The strength and purposefulness of the Community is about to be tested by the European Union (EU) which, through the European Commission, has indicated that it may take as many as eight Caribbean countries to arbitration under the EPA signed in 2008 for non-implementation of tariff cuts on EU goods entering their markets.

It is safe ground to say that the EU can determine that the failure to make the tariff cuts constitutes a dispute and, therefore, can take the matter to arbitration. The EPA does provide for a consultation process, and no doubt this will be invoked by the EU with each of the eight countries. While Jamaica has been identified by the EU as one of the eight countries, the others are yet to be officially named. Reliable sources indicate that Suriname is among the remaining seven.

Saint Lucia, it is time to pull out from craven CARICOM leadership.

ABSOLUTELY CARICOM is not is trouble ---- Only the CARICOM states and their citizens who have been misled by this CARICOM SG and his cohorts for the past 40 years!

St. Lucia, Jamaica, Guyana et al have all gone backwards with these liberal progressive socialist technocrats and politicians who do not have a CLUE what is required to run our countries.

All they do is prop up each other, get big contracts, write useless reports and run our countries into the ground.

yuo bet the kleptocrats in CARICOM are not in trouble --- only the tax payers who foot the bill.

Just ask Kenny or Tony or Phillip. Living off the taxpayer all their lives!!

CARICOM: 40 years of political bullshitting the ordinary man in the street by regional Heads of Government!

CARICOM is comical. The live broadcast idea is a manifestation of groping confusion between means to goals and the goals themselves.

CARICOM is like a paling chicken which has just laid an egg.

It goes on the paling and makes a lot of noises ANNOUNCING TO THE ENTIRE NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT in all senses of the word, IT HAS LAID AN EGG!

in my view caricom will not achieve its objectives anytime soon perhaps after 2020 until wait for the rooster to crow..caricom is like a snail that has lost its shell...when the rains or heat comes the snail needs to hide under a shade or else..similar caricom talks the talk but when the rains of global problems or regional disputes comes up caricom runs under a shade of protection and hides by keeping mute..when the rains subsides then caricom comes out with its guns blazing.. A BIG JOKE..THAT CARICOM TING

When de people refuse to pay VAT, I wonder if Kenny going to call back for his giveaway freeness to the all exclusive hoteliers of $36 million doallrs. He ain getting it now far less under a VAT a more difficult collection exercise. I hope no locals are prosecuted or businesses close down before a single foreign all inclusive is brought to justice.

What good doth it profit La Rocque to come before CARICOM heads adn insist that CARICOM is not is crisis, when the Heads themselves know otherwise? After all, it is they who put CARICOM in crisis.
