Montserrat leaders optimistic about integration with Caricom
Friday, October 17, 2003
BRADES, Montserrat: Talks between British, Caricom and Monsterratian officials ended Wednesday night with a general feeling of hope on the part of the colony that they will be allowed to join other members of the Caribbean Community in establishing a regional court and single market economy.
The Associated Press last night reported that Caricom and British officials both agreed they "found no insurmountable legal impediments" to the island's participation. The officials agreed, however, "that some legal issues would require further consideration."
The British colony is the only one of the regional group's 15 members that has not signed protocols to establish the court and economic bloc. The island's government is requesting British permission to participate fully.
