Part Two
Part One of this three-part series was printed in our issue of Friday January 14, 2011
Part 1 in this series of articles on the GCSP and Promoting the Services in Guyana published in last week’s Stabroek Business, (January 14, 2011) gave a broad introduction to the formation of the GCSP, which had its origins in an advisory Task Force established by MOFTIC in 2003 in regard to external trade negotiations for the external sector. It also briefly described the establishment and objectives of the GCSP. This was further complemented with a short review of the services sector in Guyana, along with a description of Guyana’s services commitments under the WTO-GATS. As promised, Part 2 of the series will describe 1) membership and membership-related issues 2) networking with other services suppliers across CARICOM, under the aegis of EPA provisions and 3) the generation of resources to aid the fulfilment of the GCSP’s objectives.
