DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

CONSULTATIONS ON TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY AND COMMON MARKET

The Government of Canada is seeking the views of Canadians on the possible scope of a free trade agreement between Canada and the countries of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM).

Background

At the Summit between Canada and the CARICOM that took place on January 19, 2001, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, CARICOM leaders approached Prime Minister Chrétien with a request to develop a stronger, more mature trading relationship between Canada and the CARICOM, which could lead to the negotiation of a free trade agreement. It was agreed that the two sides would initiate exploratory discussions on enhancing our trade relationship. As a part of these discussions, the Government of Canada will undertake extensive domestic consultations with business, citizen-based organizations and individual Canadians, as well as with the provincial and territorial governments, to obtain advice and views on priorities, objectives and concerns to help define the possible scope of this initiative.

The CARICOM countries offer Canadian companies a growing market for computers and components, and telecommunications equipment. Demand remains strong for traditional Canadian exports such as food and consumer products. Prospects for growth are also promising for products and services in the agri-food sector, energy (petrochemical and hydro), education, health, building materials and housing, transportation, environment and utilities (e.g., water and sewerage, waste management), and tourism.

In 2000, Canada exported C$346.91 million worth of goods to the CARICOM and imported C$539.98 million, for two-way merchandise trade of C$886.89 million. Global trade levels for the CARICOM reached approximately US$15.4 billion in 1999, according to the Inter-American Development Bank (2000 figures are not yet available).

A free trade agreement with the CARICOM would strengthen our trade and political ties with the region's growing economies and contribute to the shared goal of deepening development through economic integration within the Western Hemisphere.

General Relations

Canada maintains close and friendly relations with all countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas [not a member of the Common Market], Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Montserrat). This relationship is based on our common heritage and democratic tradition, trade and investment links, official development assistance, tourism, and the ties of family and friendship resulting from the large community of Canadians of Caribbean origin in Canada. Internationally, our cooperation extends across a range of fora, from the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, to the Organization of American States and the Summit of the Americas process, to our long-standing shared membership in the Commonwealth.

Two-way merchandise trade between Canada and the CARICOM is significant, amounting to C$887 million in 2000; this figure does not capture many goods transshipped through the United States. Canadian investments in the region, centred in the financial, mining and energy sectors, have reached C$25 billion, making it our third most important investment destination after the United States and the United Kingdom. Moreover, some C$200 million in consulting and engineering contracts in the Caribbean are won by Canadian firms annually. Leading Canadian exports to the region include fisheries and agri-food products, telecommunications equipment, computers, paper (including newsprint), furniture and pharmaceuticals. Our imports are led by gold, alumina and bauxite, fisheries and agri-food products, mineral fuels, petroleum oils, steel rods and industrial chemicals.

The 13 Commonwealth members of the CARICOM benefit from CARIBCAN, a one-way preferential trade arrangement introduced in 1986 that, together with the General Preferential Tariff and most favoured nation treatment, extends duty-free access to the Canadian market for approximately 96 percent of imports from the Commonwealth Caribbean. Items exempted under the arrangement include some textiles, clothing and footwear, as well as certain agricultural products including products subject to tariff rate quotas. Canada and the CARICOM also have in place a trade and economic cooperation agreement, which offers a general framework for dialogue and bilateral cooperation.

The Commonwealth Caribbean is a major recipient (on a per capita basis) of Canadian official development assistance, receiving approximately C$26 to C$29 million annually. The Canadian Government, through the Canadian International Development Agency, supports programs to strengthen the capacity, competitiveness and sustainable development of CARICOM countries and enhance their cooperation within the CARICOM.

Additional information on the CARICOM and Canada's relationship with the region can be found at: www.caricom.org, www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/menu-e.asp, www.iadb.org, www.acdi-cida. gc.ca/index.htm.

Submissions by Interested Parties

Consulting with Canadians on our mutual goals is an important part of how Canadian trade policy is formulated. It is essential that the Government of Canada be fully aware of the interests and sensitivities of Canadians with respect to this initiative. Therefore, we welcome advice and views on any priorities, objectives and concerns with regard to a free trade agreement with the CARICOM. In particular, we are seeking views with respect to the following:

— Opinions on areas of export interest, including products for which the CARICOM should eliminate barriers. The Government is also seeking views on products for which there may be concerns if access to the Canadian market for CARICOM products were to be improved, including opinions on the staging of any concessions.

— Views on general rules of origin issues or advice on appropriate rules of origin or procedures for specific products or sectors.

— Suggestions on "trade facilitation" issues, e.g. significant impediments related to import procedures.

— Advice, views and experiences with customs-related issues for both travellers and commercial goods entering or leaving the region.

— Advice and views on general investment issues to be included in the scope of the investment negotiations, the types of problems faced by Canadian investors in the CARICOM region and the type of investment rules that would provide better access, treatment, protection and predictability for investments.

— Advice and views on general cross-border trade in services issues to be included in the scope of negotiations, services sectors in the CARICOM region that could be of interest for further liberalization, and opinions on measures affecting access, including regulatory measures that may restrict cross-border trade in services.

— Advice and views on the possible inclusion of competition policy within the scope of the negotiations.

— Views on ways to reflect the interests and values of Canadians in the area of environmental protection.

— Views on ways to reflect the interests and values of Canadians in the areas of labour rights, human rights, culture and other social concerns, as they relate to a possible free trade agreement with the CARICOM.

— Views on the development implications of any of the foregoing for CARICOM countries, including but not limited to Canadian concessions or complementary measures that could particularly favour sustainable development in the region, and areas or sectors whose particular social or economic vulnerability warrants special consideration in any negotiation.

— Views on any other related issues.

All interested parties are invited to submit their views by February 22, 2002. Please be advised that any information we receive as a result of this consultation will be considered as public information. Submissions should include:

1. the contributor's name and address, and, if applicable, their organization, institution or business;

2. the specific issues being addressed; and

3. precise information on the rationale for the positions taken, including, for example, anticipated effects on employment and production in Canada, on import and export interests, on social and environmental interests or on any other economic interest in Canada.

RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT

Notice No. SMSE-027-01

Notice is hereby given that Industry Canada is adopting a new radio equipment certification number format. This new format will facilitate the implementation of the Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) that Canada has signed. Once these MRAs are implemented, it will be possible for Canadian and Foreign Certification Bodies (CB) recognized by Industry Canada to certify radio equipment to Canadian Standards. The new format, which is unique whether equipment is certified under one or more Radio Equipment Standards, also addresses modifications to radio equipment labelling requirements that were requested by the industry.

The new format is as follows:

IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY

Where: — "XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY" is the certification number;

— "XXXXXX" is the Certificate Holder Number (CHN), made of at most 6 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), assigned by Industry Canada; and

— "YYYYYYYY" is the Unique Product Number (UPN), made of at most 8 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) assigned by the applicant.

Note 1: The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

Note 2: Note 1 shall be conspicuously placed in the equipment user manual.

Note 3: Permitted alphanumeric characters used in the CHN and UPN are limited to capital letters (A-Z) and digits (0-9). Other characters, such as "#", "/" or "-", shall not be used.

Note 4: If asked by the applicant, Industry Canada may assign a UPN.

Note 5: An example of the new format for a company having a CHN equal to "21" and wishing to use a UPN equal to "A3" would thus be (without the quotes): "IC: 21-A3."

The new format will take effect on February 1, 2002, and will only be applicable to equipment certified from this date forward.

The new format replaces the old certification number format referenced in current issues of Radio Standards Specifications (RSS), the Radio Standards Procedures 100 (RSP-100) and referenced in other Industry Canada documents. These various documents will be updated to reflect this new certification number format.

Radio equipment certified before February 1, 2002, under the previous certification format will continue to be considered certified and their labelling and user manual will not require modification.

Any inquiries on this notice should be directed to the Manager, Radio Equipment Standards, (613) 990-4699 (Telephone), (613) 990-3158 (Facsimile), res.nmr@ic.gc.ca. (Electronic mail).

Electronic copies of RSP-100, the RSS and other Industry Canada documents are available on the Internet, at the following address:

Hard copies of these documents are available, for a fee, from: Tyrell Press Ltd., 2714 Fenton Road, Gloucester, Ontario K1T 3T7, 1-800-267-4862 (Canada toll-free telephone), 1-800-574-0137 (United States toll-free telephone), (613) 822-0740 (World-wide telephone), (613) 822-1089 (Facsimile); and DLS, St-Joseph Print Group Inc., 45 Sacré-Cœur Boulevard, Hull, Quebec K1A 0S7, 1-888-562-5561 (Canada toll-free telephone), 1-800-565-7757 (Canada toll-free facsimile), (819) 779-4335 (Worldwide telephone), (819) 779-2833 (Worldwide facsimile).

Notice No. SMSE-029-01 — Interference-causing Equipment Standard (ICES)

Notice is hereby given that Industry Canada is publishing the following document:

ICES-004 Interference-Causing Equipment Standard for Alternating Current High Voltage Power Systems ICES-004, Issue 3.

ICES-004, Issue 3, was revised from the former Issue 2 to take account of electrical utilities' concerns with respect to the costs of performing repeated radio noise measurements for power lines and substations that undergo modification. The revised rules for retesting modified power facilities allow for more discretion on the part of the utilities, which should result in more efficiency and economy, without sacrificing effectiveness, toward ensuring continued compliance of the power systems they manage. ICES-004, Issue 3 ,was developed as a result of extensive consultations with the electrical utilities and the Radio Advisory Board of Canada. A draft of ICES-004, Issue 3, was published on July 28, 2001, for public comment. No comments were received on the draft, and this final version is therefore being published without further change.

The ICES-004, Issue 3 document is available at the following Internet addresses:
