The CARICOM Single Market and Economy, also known as the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME), is an integrated development strategy envisioned at the 10th Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) which took place in July 1989 in Grand Anse, Grenada. The Grand Anse Declaration〔(Grand Anse Declaration )〕 had three key Features: #Deepening economic integration by advancing beyond a common market towards a Single Market and Economy. #Widening the membership and thereby expanding the economic mass of the Caribbean Community (e.g. Suriname and Haiti were admitted as full members in 1995 and 2002 respectively). #Progressive insertion of the region into the global trading and economic system by strengthening trading links with non-traditional partners. A precursor to CARICOM and its CSME was the Caribbean Free Trade Agreement, formed in 1965 and dissolved in 1973. ==Single market and economy== The CSME will be implemented through a number of phases, first being the CARICOM Single Market (CSM). The CSM was initially implemented on January 1, 2006 with the signing of the document for its implementation by six original member states. However the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas establishing the CSME had been provisionally applied by twelve member states of CARICOM from February 4, 2002 under a Protocol on the Provisional Application of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas.〔 Nine protocols had been drafted to amend the Original Treaty of Chaguaramas and had been consolidated into the Revised Treaty〔 signed at Nassau in 2001,〔(Protocol on the Provisional Application of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas )〕 with a number of the Protocols having been applied in part or in full from their creation in 1997-1998 including the provision on the Free Movement of Skilled Nationals.〔(Two more CARICOM members states enact free movement legislation )〕 As of July 3, 2006, it now has 12 members. Although the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) has been established, in 2006 it was only expected to be fully implemented in 2008.〔(Article in Jamaica Gleaner about ratification of CSM )〕 Later in 2007 a new deadline for the coming into effect of the Single Economy was set for 2015,〔(CARICOM Single Economy in place by 2015 - Girvan Report )〕 however following the global 2007-08 financial crisis and the resulting Great Recession, in 2011, CARICOM Heads of Government declared that progress towards the Single Economy had been put on pause.〔(Rickey Singh: Caricom in paralysis as Single Economy put on pause )〕 The completion of the CSME with the Single Economy will be achieved with the harmonization of economic policy, and possibly a single currency.〔 At the eighteenth Inter-Sessional CARICOM Heads of Government Conference in St. Vincent and the Grenadines from 12–14 February 2007,〔(Communique of the eighteenth inter-sessional meeting )〕 it was agreed that while the framework for the Single Economy would be on target for 2008, the recommendations of a report on the CSME for the phased implementation of the Single Economy would be accepted.〔(Jamaica Gleaner News - Full free movement of Caribbean nationals by the year 2009 - Friday | February 16, 2007 )〕 The Single Economy is now expected to be implemented in two phases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CARICOM Single Market and Economy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
