Guyana Signs On To EPA In Brussels
CaribWorldNews, GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Tues. Oct. 21, 2008: Guyana has finally signed on to the controversial Economic Partnership Agreement.
Guyanas Ambassador to the European Union, Dr. Patrick Gomes, signed on the countrys behalf in Brussels, Belgium at approximately 4 p.m (Brussels time) yesterday.
The signing comes five days after 13 Caribbean nations signed the deal with the European Union in Barbados on October 15th.
Guyana President, Bharrat Jagdeo, had said he was switching his position after two additional clauses were added to the original deal. The additions included stipulating that Europe would review the agreement every five years to analyze the economic impact the deal had on the Caribbean Community and the Dominican Republic and would make changes should the impact be adverse.
