The Ministers met at Pegasus from 19-20 May at the Thirty-Second Meeting of the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED).

The Adviser to the Secretary-General on the Implementation of the EPA and Head of the EPA Implementation Unit of the CARICOM Secretariat, Mr Branford Isaacs stated that he was satisfied with the treatment of EPA implementation matters during both the Senior Officials and Ministerial meetings held this week. He underscored “the deliberations proved useful in fine-tuning regional perspectives on issues to be brought to the table at the upcoming Trade and Development Committee.”
