I have been an ardent advocate of Rstructuring of CARICOM since the Contention arising out of the Signing of the EU/CRNM/EPA. With the current change in that Body (CRNM) and the removal of its head (Gill) we have achieved at least one change. There are more to come. Several of the Units in the CARICOM Structure have been operating virtually independently of supervision, and apparently without progress reports. A look at the Whole Structure will reveal a number of acronymns purporting to facilitate some form of the much needed Integration the body was set up to further or in their language "Fast Tract" After over thirty years of operation marked by the recently ended Thirtieth Meetings in Guyana hosted by President Jagdeo, only CRNM has seen a significant initial change following its EPA negotiation failures which gained international criticism. Let this be the start of a much needed total restructuring of all the tiers in the CARICOM structure with meaningful supervision, transparency and accountability One Down More to Go.
