Treaty Establishing the Caribbean Community and Common Market - CARICOM

DECLARATION

ON AREA ORIGIN IN RELATION TO REGIONAL OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL

THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES

Anxious to ensure that the benefits deriving from the creation of an integrated market for goods among the countries in the Region should accrue to nationals and to the people of the Region;

Conscious of the need to give every opportunity for the utilisation of Regional capital and Regional Entrepreneurship;

    DECLARE THAT:

    in the evolution of the Common Market, the Council should bear in mind the principle that free access to the Regional market should in the main be assured to the products of enterprises that are subject to majority participation and control by nationals, including Governments or Government-owned Corporations of Member States, provided that the industrialisation of the Region and particularly the Less Developed Countries is not impeded.

Conscious of the need to preserve the continuity of the services of the existing staff of the Commonwealth Caribbean Regional Secretariat on terms and conditions not less favourable than those presently enjoyed by them;

Agree that upon the coming into force of the Treaty establishing the Caribbean Community the staff employed by the Commonwealth Caribbean Regional Secretariat shall be deemed to be also in the service of the Community Secretariat on the same terms and conditions governing their appointment in the Commonwealth Caribbean Regional Secretariat.
