The document discusses various issues related to trade in energy services. It notes that there is no common classification system for energy services used by WTO members, making it difficult to compare offers and requests. Various attempts to change this in negotiations have failed. For CARICOM members, there is ineffective regional coordination leading to individual offers and requests, with little integration of export interests. EPA commitments with the EU contain restrictions and reservations in some areas like mining and petroleum extraction. Negotiations with Canada could focus on cementing improvements to its WTO offer and addressing issues like local content rules and commercial presence requirements.
