CARIBBEAN SINGLE MARKET AND ECONOMY: THE WAY FORWARD : ADDRESS BY THE RT. HON. OWEN S. ARTHUR, PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS TO THE TRADE FORUM OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANIZATION OF JAMAICA ON THE CARIBBEAN SINGLE MARKET AND ECONOMY , 26 JUNE 2003, KINGSTON, JAMAICA
Apart from the selection and fortunes of the West Indies Cricket team, there is no other issue that evokes, in this region, a richer, more sustained, more fierce, and more misplaced commentary than the purposes and workings of the Caribbean Single Market and Economy.
In both instances, the debate seems to be inspired by the desire of the people of the Caribbean for the region and its institutions to succeed, and the unwillingness therefore to accept any departure from full effort and best practice.
