CARICOM complainants don’t need new bureaucracy

Jun 24, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Christopher Tufton, the shadow foreign affairs and foreign trade minister, doesn't seem to get it. So, he is shopping around for more bureaucracy - a mechanism, he says, for public-private sector consultation on trade disputes with Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica's Caribbean Community (CARICOM) partners, with whom we have a trade deficit of nearly US$1 billion. Jamaica's private sector says Port-of-Spain doesn't play fairly: that it cheats on CARIChttp://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20130624/cleisure/cleisure2.htmlOM's rules of origin, illegally subsidises its producers and places non-tariff barriers in the way of our exports.
