Caribbean trade ministers to appraise EU trade offer

Caribbean trade ministers are to meet in Jamaica on Thursday to appraise a European Commission offer to remove almost all remaining quotas and tariffs on goods shipped to the European Union. Guyana's trade minister, Henry Jeffery, says the meeting will be held from Thursday April 12 to Saturday April 14.

EU Trade Commissioner, Peter Mandelson, announced on Wednesday that the measures will take effect next January. He said by removing the remaining tariffs and quotas for Caribbean, African and Pacific nations, the EU would create the best possible opportunities for their economies.
