Caribbean TradeBeat
Caribbean TradeBeat - the radio magazine - from the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery - aims to make the business of Caribbean trade talks your business. Caribbean TradeBeat keeps you informed and involved, as the CRNM works in the region's main negotiating theatres – from bilateral agreements to the global trade accord governed by the World Trade Organisation, the current Doha round. Hear the voices of the region's business community on how they meet the successes - or challenges - of global free trade and find more on how businesses, large or small, can help forge trade deals for the benefit of the Caribbean private sector - from securing better market access to developing innovative, sunrise industries and services. Write to Caribbean TradeBeat at privatesector@crnm.org. Produced by the CRNM with support from the Multilateral Investment Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank. Presented by Julius Gittens.

In the first programme of a new CRNM series, Caribbean TradeBeat EXTRA, Henry Gill, the director general of the CRNM, details key features of an economic partnership agreement, thought to be the best vehicle for a more reciprocal trade between Europe and African, Caribbean and Pacific groups. The EPA is the climax of a story that began as far back as 2004, when talks began on a replacement for the Cotonou trade and aid agreement, itself the successor to the Lome agreement.
