Dr Richard Bernal who as Director General of the Caribbean Negotiating Machinery is leading the CARICOM nations at the WTO talks in Cancun this week is confident that the region is well prepared for the hard bargaining that is taking place.
Speaking at the conclusion of the second optional meeting of the CARICOM Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) on External Economic Negotiations, Dr Bernal remarked :"I am satisfied with the level of preparedness of the region’s ministers and officials going into Cancún," according to Barbados Nation News.
He continued that "the region has a common position going into Cancún; our concerns and issues are highlighted in the ‘Caribbean Ministerial Declaration on the Fifth WTO Ministerial Conference’ which was unanimously adopted by the CARIFORUM region, August 6 and which was submitted, on behalf of the region by Jamaica, to the WTO August 28".
Accompanying Dr Bernal at the conference is a core staff of RNM members including the organisation's senior director Henry Gill and the RNM Geneva representative and director of WTO matters Peter Gonzales.
