framework in CARIFORUM

(December 2011) Kisserup has been contracted to review the legal framework of the EPA and the flow of investment between the two parties. The overall objective of the Project is to provide the CARIFORUM States with

information on the flow of investment between the EU and CARIFORUM and the impact of CARIFORUM’s liberalization commitments, with a view to deciding on areas for the progressive liberalisation of investments. The purpose of the project is to provide appropriate technical guidance to allow informed decision to be taken in respect of the Region’s obligations under the Investment and Commercial Presence obligations of the CARIFORUM-EU EPA taking due account of the investment legal framework, investment environment, the flow of investment from the EU to CARIFORUM. The expected result is an improved climate and flow of investment from the EC to CARIFORUM.
