On behalf of the St. Lucia delegation, the delegations of the English-speaking Caribbean, and the delegations of the CARICOM sub-region, I wish to thank you for the warm and friendly welcome, and for the professional and efficient arrangements that the support staff of this summit have afforded to our delegations.

REMARKS ON “A HEMISPHERIC COMMUNITY FOR A GLOBAL AGE” BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE OWEN ARTHUR, CHAIRMAN OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, AND PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS, AT THE THIRD SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS, 20 APRIL 2001, QUEBEC CITY, CANADA

I address you today in the name of the people of the Caribbean Community. In that spirit, I am pleased to recognise that the enterprise we are engaged in today in Quebec City began in the Caribbean almost two centuries ago.

For it was in Jamaica in 1815 that the great apostle of freedom, Simon Bolivar, wrote in his famous letter, "More than anyone else, I desire to see America fashioned into the greatest nation in the world, greatest not so much by virtue of her area and wealth as, by her freedom and glory".

THE OECD TAX IMPLEMENTATION SCHEME: SPEAKING NOTES BY THE HON LESTER B. BIRD, PRIME MINISTER OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA ON BEHALF OF THE CARIBBEAN STATES AT A MEETING WITH PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, 20 APRIL 2001, QUEBEC CITY, CANADA

Mr President

Let me first join my colleagues in expressing our appreciation to you and Secretary of State Powell for this opportunity to exchange views with you on issues of mutual importance. I have been asked to present our case with regard to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and its harmful tax competition scheme. This scheme poses an immediate and detrimental threat to nine of the fourteen countries represented at this table. If it is allowed to continue, it will eventually engulf all of them.
