Commentary: Europe and the Caribbean: What is the people's view? - by Sir Ronald Sanders
Wouldn’t it be great if ordinary people in the Caribbean and Europe had a say in the future partnership between the two regions that is now currently being negotiated by government officials?
Just as in the past when decisions of great moment were taken in the Caribbean , Commissions were established to hear views and accept memoranda from the public, so too could a specially appointed Caribbean-EU Commission now listen to wider views in both regions.
The current negotiations might benefit enormously from it, and the structure of the future relationship between Europe and the Caribbean might be laid on a more broadly acceptable foundation.
