-importer failed to follow necessary processes

It was not the state of Trinidad that returned a shipment of milk from Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) but the importer as he had failed to follow the necessary procedures.

The matter was cleared up yesterday in Georgetown.

“We had an excellent meeting with the Private Sector Commission [PSC] of Guyana and we discussed a number of items that were of concern to Guyana and we able to resolve these amicably and put in place a process that would help us to deal with any further like circumstance,” Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Trade, Paula Gopee-Scoon, told Stabroek News as she exited the PSC office on Waterloo Street yesterday afternoon, following the meeting.

“The milk being returned was a decision of the importer… not the government of Trinidad and Tobago,” she added.
