He made the comments during the First Plenary Session of the Caribbean-EU Parliamentary Assembly, being held in Antigua and Barbuda.
He points to tiny export numbers to Europe, despite duty-free access, and argues the deal is moving European goods into the region faster than it’s helping Caribbean businesses scale up and diversify.
Minister Greene says the situation is tantamount to “asking our businesses to compete in a formula one race on a bicycle”, as he calls for an overhaul of the EPA.
