St. John’s Antigua- The EPA Implementation Coordinator said local businesses should not only use the Cariforum-EC agreement to market to mainland Europe, but EU countries closer to home. “We are seeing Europe as thousands of miles away, but we need to see Europe as the island just over there, Guadeloupe and Martinique,” Barbara Williams said at the launch of the Validation Workshop on the National EPA Implementation Plan yesterday. The coordinator said local businesses are not exporting large amounts of goods and services beyond the nation’s borders—mainly due to a lack of financial resources and because, currently, standardisation frameworks are not in place.
