THE CARIBBEAN SINGLE MARKET AND ECONOMY_ IS IT REALISTIC WITHOUT COMMITMENT TO POLITICAL UNITY?  Havelock R. Brewster

A.      From Common Market to Single Market and Economy

A 'single market' is a space within which goods and services, people, capital and technology freely circulate. When created among States, it involves, so far as market transactions are concerned, the complete removal of physical, technical and fiscal frontiers. Thus, for example, moving goods or services, capital or people from Trinidad and Tobago to Barbados would be no different from moving them across parish borders in Barbados itself.

STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL AND STAFF OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY ON THE CONTINUING VIOLENT LOSS OF LIFE IN GUYANA

The Secretary-General and staff of the Caribbean Community have been deeply concerned by the difficult times which our Member States have recently been enduring. No issue has concerned us more than the rising crime wave which threatens to envelop the Region. And in this regard, no situation has disturbed us more than that in Guyana, the Headquarters of the Community, and the Member State wherein we and our families have made our home, however temporarily.
