In fact, why not the CSME over the EU trade pact?

In fact, the Afro-Caribbean leauge, forgot the real name, are in negotiations with the EU at this very same minute, on plans on the way forward together.

As usual, agriculture is the bucking point; go figure. In any event, there are some other issues as well, like trade faccilitation and compettition policy clauses...blah blah blah. But, they are negotiating, and I was wondering, if any of the insiders out there, knows if we are acting bi-latterally with the EU, or are we a part of this African Diaspora negotiations pact with the EU.

It seems as if we shunned the CSME, but the CSME goes on without us, walking hand in hand with Africa.

Can anyone give me some insight?

I know where to go if I I can not get a serious answer, but I want to spark debate as well.

To me, WTO now is a disaster for this economy, and can only spell more deepened inequality as well as more immigrants. Someone which NO ONE wants!

Hit me up....

WTO is a poison, any developing country who signs on to it now, without knowing the economic rules of the game as well as the political rules of the game, is signing on to their countries and their citizens funeral papers.

Ting-um. Re-read the post started by me a few months back, where Gilbert Morris came out and responded.

Morris gives a very compelling argument, as to why we should move carefully on these things, and not try to act smarter than what we are. Prudence, not fastness gets things done properly.

Oh, I remember that thread. Basically we agreed that the Bahamas is inefficient. Not that the WTO is bad.
