Introduction

The CRNM is encouraging the region's private sector to participate more fully in the current negotiations on an Economic Partnership Agreement, which will basically govern the trade between the most Caribbean States and the European Union. In this regard, the organization has prepared user friendly matrices which summarizes the positions in the EPA negotiations to date in the areas of market access in goods and services, trade facilitation, Investment and a broad area called trade related aspects (e.g., innovation, competition policy etc). We urge you to peruse these matrices and basically include your position or comments in the columns provided at your earliest convenience. These tools can also be useful in preparing position briefs which can be submitted to your trade ministry.
