The OECS Commission has announced that leaders of Parliamentary Opposition in the OECS will be reviewing the status of the Revised Treaty of Basseterre with an update on the Economic Union at a regional meeting in Saint Lucia, scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 2015.
Montserrat’s ex Premier Reuben T Meade will reportedly attend this second meeting of Leaders of Parliamentary Opposition in the OECS. The OECS’ Growth and Development Strategy as well as the accession of Martinique to Associate Membership will be among matters to be tabled for discussion.
The OECS Commission recognises that this upcoming meeting of the Leaders of Parliamentary Opposition will be a significant opportunity to inform this key stakeholder group on developments towards the regional integration movement in areas such as the free circulation of goods and the free movement of persons.
It is also anticipated that such a meeting will also strengthen the capacity of Leaders of Parliamentary Opposition to share vital information on the regional integration movement with their constituents.
The meeting will be held at the Bay Gardens Hotel. .
