ACP’s sugar plea for EU to avoid a crisis
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - A MONTH from this week, Heads of Government of CARICOM will be meeting in Port of Spain for their regular annual summit. They will have much to reflect on – the just concluded rounds of informal meetings in Trinidad and Tobago with United States’ Vice-President Joseph Biden and China’s President Xi Jingping. The final agenda for the summit is yet to be settled, but immediate pressing issues requiring serious decisions for action would include regional air transportation and the future of the region’s sugar trade with the European Union (EU). The last issue is the focus of this Editorial and revolves around a challenging warning from the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of states in which this region remains a very committed partner.
