Charlestown, Nevis (June 28, 2007)

When the Nevis Island Assembly meets in Charlestown on July 09, 2007, as part of its 1st anniversary week of activities, a number of Bills will be down to receive their first and second readings. Legal Advisor in the Nevis Island Administration the Hon. Patrice Nisbett, announced that the Administration had adopted a new consultative process which would allow the public time to contribute to important pieces of legislation before they become law.
 
Mr. Nisbett made the disclosure during a press briefing at the Nevis Island Administration’s Conference Room in Charlestown on Thursday June 28, 2007. He said the public would be given time after the first reading of a Bill to make recommendations they considered to be relevant before they received the second and third readings.
 
“Before we pass certain important bits of legislation we want as a part of the consultative process, that we do the first reading and we allow sometime for the general public to access to the area of legislation so that they could look at it to make whatever recommendations they would consider would be relevant and if it is something that an amendment can facilitate then the government will make the necessary amendment. It is just a part of the process. Read the rest of this entry »

There is now a much better understanding and appreciation by the United States on the urgency of the steps that are required to expand the economic opportunities for the Caribbean people. So says St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas.

He told Colleague Heads of Government, United States government officials, Ambassadors and public and private sector experts there is also much better understanding and appreciation of the efforts being made on the part of the Caribbean to expand the service sector, in particular the international financial service sector as a prerequisite for economic diversification and enhanced competitiveness.

“It is for this reason that we have underscored the importance of the renewal of the Caribbean Basin Promotion Act and a revitalization of the Trade and Investment Council,” said Prime Minister Douglas, who said that the region continue to emphasise that with the Caribbean accounting for approximately 0.5 percent of total world trade, “any concession provided by USA is hardly likely to have any significant affect on the global economy.”

“We in the Community mindful of the need to level the playing field among the participating countries have established a Development Fund to provide assistance for the lesser developed countries. This is targeted as another possible area for consideration by USA for partnership in strengthening the regional enterprise,” said Prime Minister Douglas. Read the rest of this entry »
