TRADE POLICY REVIEW
OECS-WTO MEMBERS
Report by the Secretariat
Corrigendum
Page vii, paragraph 1,  replace the second and third sentences with:
As a group, they had an average per capita income of about US$4,800 in 1999.  This is linked to their
intensive participation in international trade, which,  despite shortcomings in their trade regimes, has
allowed services exports to grow and imports to meet most of their domestic needs.  However, therelatively high average per capita income disguises both wide disparities in and among the countries
and the fact that with their low population levels the per capita cost of social and economic
infrastructure is high in each of the OECS-WTO Members.
Page 1, paragraph 2,  replace the third sentence with:
Overall, as a group, OECS-WTO Members have a per capita income of about US$4,800 (based
on 1999 data).
Page 2, paragraph 3,  replace the first sentence with:
The individual economies of the OECS Members are small in absolute terms:  in 1999, according
to preliminary data by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), GDP ranged from about
US$261 million in Dominica to US$671 million in St. Lucia.
Page 9, Table I.3 , add note:
Aggregate GDP includes Anguilla and Montserrat, which are not WTO Members, and together
account for some 5% of total OECS GDP.
Page 12, paragraph 44, add at the end of the paragraph:
The same countries had a similar status in Ecuador's DSU Article 21.5 challenge to the revised EU
regime.
1  Dominica and St. Lucia also reserved their third party rights and presented submissions in
two other disputes, concerning Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, and U.S. import measures
on certain products from the European Union.2  St. Lucia also requested to join consultations
concerning Section 306 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974.3

This proposal reflects most of the measures presented in a communication by four OECS-WTO
Members (Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines) together with
Barbados, Cuba, Jamaica, Mauritius, and Trinidad and Tobago to draw attention to the difficulties that
small island developing states (SIDS) face when liberalizing agriculture.4
