CARIBBEAN-TRADE-New EPA Unit director to review work of agency

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The newly appointed director of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) Implementation Unit at the Guyana-based Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat, Carlos Wharton, says he intends reviewing the work of the unit as a priority.

“The stocktaking exercise will provide a chance for a retrospective as well as a prospective look at the Unit’s work, in particular, and EPA implementation, in general,” said Wharton, who took up office at the start of the month.

“Once the stocktaking exercise is completed, the Unit would have generated the information necessary to plan further action and to effect a way forward with respect to its work programme.”
