31 December 2004

The Heads of Government and the Secretariat of Caricom have agreed on a new date and location for the ceremony to mark Caricom Single Market compliance by Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.

The signing ceremony will take place on 19th February, coinciding with the inauguration of the new Caricom headquarters at Liliendaal, in Georgetown, Guyana.

Edwin Carrington, Caricom Secretary General, explained that the rescheduling of the ceremony, originally due to take place in Barbados on 5th January, will give the event extra significance by making attendance possible for all Heads of Government and delegations participating in the February 16-17 Sixteenth Inter-Sessional Meeting in neighbouring Suriname.

"The proximity of the venues for the Inter-Sessional Meeting and the inauguration of the new Caricom headquarters building provides us with an ideal opportunity for all Member States to be part of this historic event that will see Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago paving the way for the full implementation of the Caricom Single Market at the end of 2005," stated Mr. Carrington.
