Questions and Replies
 
  
 The following communication, dated 13 March 2006, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, on behalf of the CARICOM Member States. 
  This document reproduces the questions addressed  to the Parties and the responses submitted. 
The questions and replies set out below are or ganized in accordance with document WT/REG155/2. 
 
_______________ 
  
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE AGREEMENT 
1. Membership And Dates Of Signature, Ratification And Entry Into Force 
1. Has the CARICOM Single Market and Econ omy effectively entered into force as 
planned? Could the Parties provide a state-of-play of the current situation? Which measures have been put forward? 
 In the phasing period there was some slippage  but as at 31 December 2005 six Member States 
had completed the implementation as planned. For the six smaller Member States the end period for 
the implementation has been extended to the 30 Ju ne 2006 to take into consideration the capacity 
constraints encountered. With respect to the removal of restriction, it should be recalled that services 
regime of the CSME took effect from the 1 July 1998,  and that the focus of attentions over the past 
seven year was the removal of non-confirming meas ures. In this regard, with respect to these non-
conforming measures six Member States have im plemented the programme for the removal of 
restrictions as planned. The other six Member Stat es have until 30 June 2006 to complete the removal 
of these restrictions. 
  With respect to the state of play, the key el ements of the Single Market would have entered 
into force on 1 January 2006. The Parties are now focusing their attention on implementing the Single 
Economy which includes macro economic policy harmonization and policies for Sectoral 
development. 
 
2. In the Standard Format circulated by CARICOM in September 2004, the parties 
indicated that the single market would be est ablished by January 1, 2006.  Has the Single 
Market been achieved?  Have all restrictio ns under the “Programme for the Removal of 
Restrictions” in Services, described in WT/REG155/4 been removed? 
 The CARICOM Single Market is well on the way. Six Member States are "Single market 
compliant" with all the restrictions having b een removed by 31 December 2005. The other six 
Member States have been given until 30 June 2006 to  complete the removal of their restrictions.  WT/REG155/5

  3. Scope 
 
3. Could the Parties provide details on which sectors are covered? Are all modes of supply 
covered? 
- Are these the same for each member?  
- Have all Parties fulfilled these commitments?  
- Do all parties expect to meet the commitmen t of full liberalisation of services by     
1 January 2006? 
 The Agreement covers all services and all modes of supply. Each Member State is required to 
remove all restrictions on all measures affecting trade in services in the CSME. It should be noted that 
Members had differing measures affecting different services and modes of supply. The Programme for the removal of restrictions as outline in  document WT/REG155/4 indicates the non-conforming 
measures or the various sectors and modes of supply. With the total removal of restrictions as at 1 
January 2006, all services and all modes of supply are freely tradeable. The OECS Member States have been granted an extension to 30 June 2006 to fulfil these commitments as a result of capacity 
constraints experienced. However, all Parties ar e expected to meet the commitment of full 
liberalization once the commitments outlined in  the Programme are met by 30 June 2006. 
 
- Are there any services that will be excl uded or exempt from liberalisation once 
the commitments outlined in the program are met on 1 January 2006? 
 No services outside of the provisions of the Treaty would be excluded or exempt. 
 4. The Standard Format notes that the provision s of Chapter 3 do not apply to the exercise 
of Governmental authority (Article 30 and 36(4)). It also notes that the relevant decision-making bodies may also exclude certain financ ial services from the provisions of the agreement 
(Article 38). 
- Could the Parties please explain these pr ovisions and the reasoning behind them? 
 The provisions in Article 30 are identical to Article 1(3) of the GATS which excludes services 
provided in the exercise of governmental authorit y from the disciplines of trade liberalisation. 
  With respect to Article 36(4) the Rights of Es tablishment and the Right to provide Services 
are conferred on self employed persons or non-wa ge earners who would be working in approved 
sectors. It should be noted that all sectors except those provided under the Treaty are approved. 
 
 In relation to Article 38, it should be noted that when the Treaty was being negotiated the 
issue of trade in Financial Services was relatively new and still under consider ation at the multilateral 
level. As a result, the Parties took cautious approa ch to the liberalisation of this sector. Article 38 
seeks to preserve the right of the monetary author ities to maintain prudential standards and maintain 
the integrity of the monetary markets of the Memb er States. In this regard, while each community 
national has a right of establishment, provide any financial services and move capital in any Member 
States, these rights are circumscribed by the laws and regulations enforcing prudential standards. 
Hence, under sub-section 2, the Council for Finance a nd Planning (COFAP) in consultation with other 
competent organs of the Community may exclude certain financial services from the rules of liberalisation. In this regard, the Community is currently conducting internal consultations on a Draft 
Agreement to liberalise trade and investment  in financial services within then CSME. 
  WT/REG155/5 
 Page 3 
 
 
  5. The Standard Format also notes, with respect to the right of establishment, 
governmental and private sector monopolies (Article 31) may also be excluded. 
- Could the Parties please provide details  on any government and private sector 
monopolies excluded under this provision? 
 The details of the governmental and private sectors monopolies excluded under the provisions 
of Article 31 are found in Attachment 1 of this response. 
 
6. We understand that the CARICOM agreement is  a negative list agreement.  Could the 
parties identify those sectors that were excluded? 
 While the Agreement makes provision for th e exclusion of sectors, no Member State has 
signaled that it intends to exclude or exempt any services from the liberalization, except those 
provided for under Article 31. A list of these services is found in Attachment 1.   
II. PROVISIONS AFFECTING TRADE IN SERVICES 
7. The Standard Format notes that all secto rs and modes of supply are covered. We note 
also that the Agreement has been negotiated on a negative list basis and the Parties have 
provided a schedule of existing restrictions  to be phased out by 1 January 2006 
(WT/REG155/4). 
- Were these restrictions phased out on 1 January? 
 Six Member States have completed all the re quirements as at 1 January 2006 and the six 
OECS have been granted an extension until 30 June  2006 to complete the removal of restrictions. 
 
8. Articles 32, 36 and 39 prohibit Member States from introducing new restrictions in their 
territories with respect to the Right of Esta blishment, the provision of services and the 
Movement of Capital and Current Transactions. 
- Does the Agreement contain any form of ratchet mechanism to automatically bind 
liberalisation not included in commitments?  
 Yes, there is a ratchet mechanism enshrine d in the Agreement to automatically bind the 
liberalisation of services and prevent Member States  from imposing any new restrictions. In addition, 
there is a decision of the Conference of the Heads of Government that any new restriction discovered 
after 31 December 2005 must be removed immediately. 
 
9. During the last examination on 7 October 2004, it was said that work permit 
requirements on CARICOM nationals would be removed by 31 December 2005, could the 
Parties confirm this effective removal? 
 The work permit requirements have been removed by the six Member States  that were 
"Single Market Ready" on 31 December 2005. Action has to be completed by the other six Member 
States which have until 30 June 2006 to remove these requirements.  
10. The document WT/REG155/4 of 11 February 2005 includes a table with the programme 
for the removal of discriminatory measures on services. The EC would appreciate if CARICOM 
could specify whether the table lists all the ex isting discriminatory measures applicable on 
services on all modes of supply. WT/REG155/5 
Page 4  
 
  CARICOM confirms that the table in Docume nt WT/REG155/4 of 11 Fe bruary 2005 lists all 
the existing discriminatory measures applicable on services and all modes of supply.  
11. The removal of restrictions in services is  scheduled to be completed by 31 December 
2005, could the Parties confirm the full removal  of restrictions by all Members? Has the 
Programme for the Removal of Restrict ions been developed as planned? 
 The Parties confirmed that six Member States were able to complete the implementation as 
planned, but for the six smaller Member States th e deadline for the period of implementation had to 
be extended to 30 June 2006. In this regard, the Pa rties would like to express their appreciation to the 
Delegations of Canada, the European Communities,  and the United States for the support given and 
look forward to the continued support from these a nd other Members to complete the implementation 
of commitments.   
III. GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT 
4. Relation with other Trade Agreements  
 12. In response to a question from the Unit ed States in the first round of review in 
November 2004, the representative of Jamaica in dicated that CARICOM would submit a joint 
regional GATS offer with common elements .  Has such an offer been made?   
 The Parties have not submitted a joint offer but  have submitted individual offers. However, 
Article 80 of the Revised Treaty, provides for the negotiation of external trade and economic 
agreements on a joint basis and the coordination of trade policies. While a jo int offer has not been 
submitted, the Parties are collaboratin g in the preparation of their indi vidual offers. The Parties wish 
to point out that the preparation of the joint offer is an extremely challenging and time consuming task 
and consultations are on-going. In order to meet  the previously established timeframes for the 
submission of requests and offers the Parties have submitted individual offers in the GATS 
negotiations. 
 
13. We note from the record of the last meeting (WT/REG155/M/1) that a joint services 
offer was to be submitted once this Agreement was concluded. 
- Could the Parties please confirm wheth er a joint offer has been submitted or 
whether individual countries have submitted their own offers, and  
- Could the Parties please outline how th is offer differs from the commitments 
made in the Agreement? 
 The Parties have not submitted a joint offer but  have submitted individual offers. However, 
Article 80 of the Revised Treaty, provides for the negotiation of external trade and economic 
agreements on a joint basis and the coordination of trade policies. While a jo int offer has not been 
submitted, the Parties are collaboratin g in the preparation of their indi vidual offers. The Parties wish 
to point out that the preparation of the joint offer is an extremely challenging and time consuming task 
and consultations are on-going. In order to meet  the previously established timeframes for the 
submission of requests and offers the Parties have submitted individual offers in the GATS 
negotiations.
