Carl Greenidge

Carl Greenidge The size of Cariforum – Caricom and the Dominican Republic – is one of the major challenges facing the region as a trading partner but regional integration may be one of the solutions in implementing the Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union (EU), a regional negotiator says.

Delivering the main address at the opening session of the GBTI Business Forum held at Le Meridien Pegasus on Monday, Deputy Senior Director of the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery, Carl Greenidge said that the population of the English-speaking Caribbean was minuscule and even with Haiti and the Dominican Republic included as Cariforum members it was still the smallest regional integration movement in the world.
