In 2001 the Caribbean Community heads of government voted on a measure declaring that the region should work towards replacing the UKs Judicial Committee of the Privy Council with the Caribbean Court of Justice. Barbados is an original member (1995) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and participates actively in its work. It grants at least MFN treatment to all its trading partners. As of December 2007, Barbados is linked by an Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Commission. The pact involves the Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM) subgroup of the Group of African, Caribbean, and Pacific states (ACP). CARIFORUM is the only part of the wider ACP-bloc that has concluded the full regional trade-pact with the European Union. Trade policy has also sought to protect a small number of domestic activities, mostly food production, from foreign competition, while recognising that most domestic needs are best met by imports. In 2013, CARICOM called for European nations to pay reparations for slavery and established an official reparations commission.[34] next: SEE PORTAL CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY next : info from Caribbean Community Wikipedia (last modified nov.2015)- Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands[edit] Aruba is an observer of CARICOM, as was the Netherlands Antilles before its dissolution in 2010. No official report has been published on the eligibility for observer status of the Caribbean countries Curaçao and Sint Maarten and the three special municipalities of the Netherlands formed by the split. The Netherlands Antilles had applied for the status of associate membership in 2005,[27] and both Curaçao and Sint Maarten launched applications to become associate members in CARICOM after their secession.[28] In February 2012, the Prime Minister of Sint Maarten, Sarah Wescot-Williams said she was pleased that a working group had been set up in Caricom to examine St. Maartens request for associate membership and was looking forward to its report.[29] former Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce (CAIC) Secretary Ludwig Ouenniche said the St. Maarten Chamber of Commerce, of which he also served as a board member, has been aggressive in advising the St. Maarten government to move towards a closer relationship with CARICOM over the years due to the Chambers membership in the CAIC. The benefits for St. Maarten are vast, especially the ability to tap into funding and programmes not accessible now because of non-membership, he added. Caricom countries are benefiting from European Union funding and other sources of financing shut off to St. Maarten because of its constitutional position as a country within the Dutch Kingdom; associate membership would clear this barrier. Among the benefits would be access to cheaper generic medication to treat, for example, HIV/AIDS thanks to Caricom agreements and programmes. What makes this move even more important is the benefit the country would be able to reap for the large number of people living in St. Maarten who are originally from Caricom member countries; according to Ouenniche some 65 per cent of St. Maartens population is of Caricom origin Next: Caribbean Comon Market
