Regional transport ministers to discuss transport woes

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Caribbean Community (CARICOM) ministers of transport will meet in St. Vincent and the Grenadines later this month and are likely to make recommendations that will go before regional leaders at their annual summit in Trinidad and Tobago in July on the vexing question of air and maritime transportation in the Caribbean.
CARICOM Secretary General Irwin La Rocque told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that last week, a task force of air transportation officials met to discuss a review of the CARICOM Air Multilateral Services agreement.
“The one that we have in place existed prior to current Treaty of Chaguaramas (that governs the regional integration movement) and (are) inconsistent in some aspects,” he said.
