The Creation of a Single OECS Market

All OECS Member States are committed to the objective of economic integration but the magnitude and extend of this commitment to integration differs between Member States. In recent years, the Windward Islands Member States have indicated their desire for full economic integration by means of political union. The remaining OECS Member States seem to prefer the attainment of high levels of economic integration without the necessity for political union. Since market integration is the major means of attaining these high levels of economic integration it is obvious that all OECS Member States would have to address this question.
