CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
tional Trade, Investment, Development
and Consumers Affairs said the island
would be implementing Article 164 that
also governs the CARICOM Single Market
and Economy (CSME), which allows
for the free movement of goods, skills,
labor and services across the region.
According to the RTC,
Article 164 is a regime,
which seeks to promote
industrial development
among the lesser developed
countries (LDCs) of CARICOM.
Under this regime, which was first
introduced by a decision of the Council
for Trade and Economic Development
(COTED) in 2006, the LDCs continue
to attract a duty of zero percent, the
ministry said.
It said that this new (and third)edition
of the Article 164 regime covers
14 product groups across 39 tariff lines
and provides tariff protection to most
of the products on the list for a period
of 19 years and a period of five years
for two products, namely curry powder
and pasta.
Trinidad
A High Court Judge has struck out
the sedition law from the statute books
in Trinidad and Tobago.
In a landmark judgement,
Justice Frank
Seepersad said certain
sections of the Act are
“patently inconsistent
and at odds with Section 1 of the
Constitution“ which guarantees that
Trinidad and Tobago is a sovereign
democratic state, since those sections
imposed disproportionate and unjustified
restrictions on free speech, expression
and thought.
He delivered the judgement last week
in the Port of Spain High Court in a
constitutional claim filed by former
secretary general of the Sanatan Dharma
Maha Sabha (SDMS), the late Sat
Maharaj, and his media house, Central
Broadcasting Services Ltd.
The SDMS is the largest Hindu
organization in T&T.
Maharaj (before he died last November)
and Central Broadcasting Services
Ltd. filed an action last year after police
officers searched the radio station after
Maharaj described Tobagonians as
being lazy and the men rapists on his
program Maha Sabha Strikes Back on
Radio Jaagriti on April 5, 2019.
But even though he was never
charged with any offence, Maharaj suggested
that police were moving to have
him charged with sedition because of
the statements.
In his ruling Justice Seepersad stated:
“The unjustified limits which impugned
provisions of the Sedition Act impose
upon the freedom of expression and the
freedom of the press violate the binding
guarantee that this Republic is a sovereign
democratic state as outlined under
Section 1 of the Constitution and pursuant
to Section 2 of the Constitution,
laws, which are inconsistent with the
Constitution are void and to the extent
of the inconsistency.”
Attorney General Faris-al-Rawi has
indicated that he will appeal the judgement
all the way to the British Privy
Council.
