PREFACE

OPENING REMARKS BY DR. EDWARD GREENE, ASSISTANT SECRETARY-GENERAL, HUMAN AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE EIGHTH MEETING OF THE COUNCIL FOR HUMAN AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (COHSOD), 24 APRIL 2003, PARAMARIBO, SURINAME

WELCOME BY SENATOR THE HONOURABLE MRS. HAZEL MANNING, MINISTER OF EDUCATION, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE SIXTH SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL FOR HUMAN AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (COHSOD), 31 MARCH 2003, PORT-OF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

I am delighted to welcome all of you who have honoured the invitation to this 6^th Special Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development. Your presence here, is fitting testimony to your commitment to the urgent need for us to work harmoniously together in facing the challenges of Human and Social Development, as they relate to education at all levels of the system.

As can be evidenced from Guyana’s foreign policy, the Government has sought to deepen its bilateral relations with the countries of the Caribbean Community, its neighbours and those countries of the wider hemisphere.  As you are aware, we feel that we are strategically placed to play a pivotal role in working with sister Member States to deepen and expand CARICOM’s ties with other regional groupin

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.

ADDRESS BY THE MOST HON. P.J. PATTERSON, PRIME MINISTER OF JAMAICA AND OUTGOING CHAIRMAN OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) TO THE FIFTEENTH INTER-SESSIONAL MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 25 MARCH 2004, BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS AND NEVIS

THE CARIBBEAN SINGLE MARKET AND ECONOMY: IS IT REALISTIC WITHOUT COMMITMENT TO POLITICAL UNITY?  Havelock R. Brewster

A. From Common Market to Single Market and Economy

A 'single market' is a space within which goods and services, people, capital and technology freely circulate. When created among States, it involves, so far as market transactions are concerned, the complete removal of physical, technical and fiscal frontiers. Thus, for example, moving goods or services, capital or people from Trinidad and Tobago to Barbados would be no different from moving them across parish borders in Barbados itself.

STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL AND STAFF OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY ON THE CONTINUING VIOLENT LOSS OF LIFE IN GUYANA

The Secretary-General and staff of the Caribbean Community have been deeply concerned by the difficult times which our Member States have recently been enduring. No issue has concerned us more than the rising crime wave which threatens to envelop the Region. And in this regard, no situation has disturbed us more than that in Guyana, the Headquarters of the Community, and the Member State wherein we and our families have made our home, however temporarily.
