CARICOM has agreed to new measures that will make it easier for citizens of the regional bloc to work and travel among member states.
The Caribbean leaders at the recent Summit here, recommitted to achieving the original objectives of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), including free movement of skilled Community nationals, access to the Region’s resources and creating the environment for competitive production.
Following an assessment of the status of the CSME, the government heads agreed to focus strategically on the expansion of the categories of skilled CARICOM nationals who could then move freely for the purpose of working in other member states.
They also agreed that all CARICOM nationals would be automatically grant a six-month stay upon entering a member state, provided there were no security problems.
