CARIFORUM

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Caribbean Forum ( CARIFORUM ) is a subgroup of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States and serves as the basis for economic dialogue with the European Union . It was established in 1992. Its membership includes the 15 states of the Caribbean Community , along with the Dominican Republic . In 2008, they signed an Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union, although Guyana and Haiti had expressed reservations and did not attend the signing ceremony. Tensions within the group grew over trade and immigration issues; the Dominican Republic, the largest economy in the group, has expressed reservations about its current structure.
