Voting in the Jamaica Ob server Cutest Baby Photo Competition has started to pick up steam with more than 3,000 ballots already cast as the popular event moves into the final week of the fi.
The recent press coverage of the decision by the Caribbean Community (Caricom) Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) that companies in Jamaica are not eligible to receive certificates of origin for their soap exports, thereby not enjoying duty-free access to Caricom, is one-sided and contains inaccuracies and misrepresentations. I seek to clarify some of these. The COTED ruling resulted from action brought by the Government of Dominica on behalf of DCP Successors Ltd, a soap manufacturer. DCPS, located in Dominica, is a leading manufacturer of soaps and has supplied cruise lines and leading hotel chains. The company has also made, under contract, international brands including Palmolive, Protex, Jergens, Dial, Tone, Imperial Leather, to name a few.
