EU border tax threats 'serious issue' - Business - Jamaica Gleaner - Sunday | July 1, 2012: "CARICOM Secretary General Irwin LaRocque has cautioned the Jamaican and other regional governments not to be casual in their approach to addressing Europe's demand to reduce customs duties on goods imported from that territory.
His warning came against the background of a report out of Belgium last week, attributed to Alexander Walford, policy officer in charge of Caribbean-European Union trade relations, which said the EU was growing impatient with Jamaica for failing to honour its obligations under the European Partnership Agreement (EPA).

Under the agreement, signed in 2008, Jamaica and 14 other Caribbean states agreed to start the reduction of customs duties by January 2011, but only six have so far complied, Walford has said."
