T&T pledges again to remove honey hurdle

Trinidad and Tobago is working to amend archaic laws which will finally allow Guyana’s honey to transit the twin-island republic after years of fruitless deliberations at CARICOM’s trade council.

Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister, Hugh Todd told the Sunday Stabroek that Trinidad has committed to revising its trans-shipment laws to be more compliant with the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) framework.

Trinidad’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Paula Gopee-Scoon last week said “things are progressing” when contacted by this newspaper on the matter. She explained too that they have been in contact with the Guyanese government as they aim to address the issue.
