| Abstract: | We are moving towards The Caribbean Community very well indeed, avoiding or correcting, one might say, two of the major mistakes made in the previous federal exercise: one, the initiative came from the outside, for purposes associated with the national interests of countries outside, the initiative is now coming from within; and secondly the initiatives of the past three to four years have been based on solid economic and practical realities totally ignored in the former federal period; so that where in the former federal period we began talking common external tariff, zoning of industries, harmonisation of incentives -everybody accused us of trying to break up the federation-which was what we did in emphasizing from the start that these decisions had to be made. |
