The completion of the review process is a priority for the CPSO, given the cross-cutting relationship which the CET maintains as the major instrument of policy in the CSME goods sector.
The CPSO conducts consultations with private sector and undertakes analysis for the development of a regional private sector consensus on the ‘Review of the CARICOM RoO’ and CET, in order to make them ‘fit for purpose’. This includes simplification of the rules where necessary, as well as the introduction of new rules for consideration. The CPSO has made significant submissions to the Review processes.
