STATEMENT BY THE HON. CLEMENT J. ROHEE,  MINISTER OF FOREIGN TRADE AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION, GUYANA,  TO THE OPENING SESSION OF THE NATIONAL SEMINAR ON THE CARICOM SINGLE MARKET & ECONOMY, 1 DECEMBER 2003, GEORGETOWN, GUYANA

Preparations are moving apace at various levels within the Caribbean Community to institutionalize as fast as possible the Single Market and Economy (SME) in this regard, Guyana is no exception.

The target year has been set for sometime before year 2005.

We are a mere two years away from this momentous event which will have a direct and indirect impact on the daily lives of each and every Guyanese. In fact, it would be no wild assertion to state that the Single Market and Economy is "around the corner".
