Every
effort will be made to place on this website requests received from the
CARICOM Secretariat, for the Suspension of the CET and Certificates
under the Safeguard Mechanism in keeping with Articles 83 & 84 of the
Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas - on a daily basis.
It is
anticipated that the Private Sector will respond to these requests based
on their ability to supply the products within the specified timeframe,
and communicate this to the Ministry in a timely manner to allow for the
CARICOM Secretariat to be notified within the stipulated timeframe of
five (5) working days.
The
objectives of this undertaking are:
-
to guide
the local Private Sector
as to the various market opportunities available within
the region;
-
to
identify the various trends in products requested with a view to
developing products for existing markets;
-
to
identify opportunities for developing new markets for existing goods;
-
to
coordinate Guyana’s responses to Requests;
-
to
identify Guyana’s challenges - internal and external - with a view to
eliminating these and,
-
to
receive recommendations from the Private Sector based on Guyana’s
interests.
Additionally, the Ministry has compiled an
Inventory of Requests for
Suspension of the CET, Requests for Certificate under the Safeguard
Mechanism and Waivers of the CET that have been granted on products,
in 2005.
The Inventory is prepared based on Tariff Headings, Description of the
Product, Requesting Company, Rate of Duty, Period of Suspension and
Guyana’s ability to supply.
