	THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY
		In 1972, Commonwealth Caribbean leaders at the Seventh Heads of Government Conference decided to transform the Caribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA) into a Common Market and establish the Caribbean Community, of which the Common Market would be an integral part.

		Although a free-trade area had been established, CARIFTA did not provide for the free movement of labour and capital, or the coordination of agricultural, industrial and foreign policies.

	Caribbean community and consciousness - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Definitions of the Caribbean were strictly for convenience, largely imposed by those from the outside for purposes that often bear little relevance to Caribbean realities.
		Professional organisations such as academics in the Association of Caribbean History, the Caribbean Studies Association, the Association of Caribbean Publishers and the Caribbean Meteorological Association have all demonstrated that language and insularity are inconveniences but not necessarily obstacles to collective action.
		Caribbean peoples have no difficulty accepting plural identities, and that is why the relatively late appeal of regional writing is mildly surprising.

		The 15-nation Caribbean Community suspended Haiti in March 2004, after the United States helped installed an interim government, saying the administration was unconstitutional and calling for an investigation into ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's charges that Washington had engineered a coup against him.
