Roosevelt Skerrit

ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC - Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says his government will soon be announcing measures aimed at bringing relief to consumers suffering under the weight of rising food prices.

At the last Caribbean Community (CARICOM) meeting in The Bahamas, last week, a decision was taken for the suspension of the Common External Tariff (CET) from several food items. Skerrit said his new measures will complement the regional approach.
