	COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE TWENTY-SECOND MEETING NASSAU, THE BAHAMAS
		Heads of Government however recognised that much work remained to be done in their efforts to sensitise the world community to the issues affecting small states and recommitted themselves to this task.
		Heads of Government were very disturbed at the failure of the Council for Trade of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) at its Meeting on 5 July 2001, to agree to begin the consultation on the European Union request for the waiver for the Cotonou Agreement and the new banana regime.
		Heads of Government noted that the people of Haiti continued to be the main victims of this political crisis and expressed their grave concern with respect to the rapidly deteriorating social and economic situation in Haiti and the social misery this has brought to the majority of the Haitian society.

		CARICOM Heads of Government also unequivocally condemned terrorism in all its forms, and reaffirmed their commitment to work with the international community in the multifaceted fight against terrorism, in accordance with international law and conventions.
		The Bahamas was pleased to have participated in the organization’s review of its work, and setting of its agenda, for further action in the areas of racism, racial discrimination and human settlements and the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons.
		My Government, for its part, is of the view that small developing, middle-income countries such as The Bahamas, because of their economic and ecological vulnerabilities, would not be excluded from development financing.

	Caribbean Islands the Bahamas - Government and Politics
		The general direction and control of government, however, are vested in a cabinet, led by the prime minister, who serves as the chief executive of the government.
		For decades prior to the achievement of internal self- government, the Bahamas' political and economic systems were dominated by a small elite referred to as the "Bay Street Boys," so named because most of their businesses and economic activities were concentrated along Bay Street in Nassau.
		Women participated in all levels of government and politics; in 1987 several women served as permanent secretaries of the executive government, one as a member of the House, and four as members of the Senate.

		There is no legislation governing the processing of asylum seekers, and applications for political asylum are supposed to be adjudicated on a case-by-case basis at the cabinet level.
		There are no legal impediments to participation by women in government and politics; however, the percentage of women (or minorities) in government and politics does not correspond to their percentage in the population.
		The Government operates a nationwide toll-free hot line, with two trained volunteers on each of the inhabited islands who are on call to respond in the event of a crisis.

	Bahamas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Bahamas, as a small country in the caribbean, notes that the prevailing global economic system and the powerful trading and economic blocks pay little regard to the fragile social and economic nature of developing countries in general and small nations like the bahamas in particular, when decisions are taken from a myopic perspective.
		In this regard, the government's 2000 census will be the basis for a study to establish a baseline for poverty in relation to such factors as nutrition, housing and household income to determine the position of all households.
		It is to be noted that the speaker of the parliament, chief justice of the Bahamas, three (3) of fifteen (15) ministers of government and one half of the permanent secretaries are women.

	The Bahamas - Foreign Relations
		By the early 1980s, however, it was evident that the Bahamas was moving toward greater involvement in regional and international affairs and was not necessarily seeking to satisfy the United States.
		In 1985 the Bahamas hosted a Meeting of Heads of Government of the Commonwealth; Queen Elizabeth II paid an official visit to the Bahamas at that time.
		Haitian immigrants began to trickle into the Bahamas in 1948; by the late 1950s, that trickle was described by government officials as a flood.

	Regional Core Health Data System - Country Profile: THE BAHAMAS
		The Government’s commitment to social development is evidenced by the fact that approximately 30% of the national recurrent budget is allocated to social sectors, with special attention given to education, health, and housing.
		A key issue in the Bahamas is diversification of the economy, which is to be accomplished by improving intersectoral linkages between the tourism sector and the rest of the economy and by improving infrastructure in the Family Islands to promote their economic development.
		The 1996 midyear population of the Bahamas was estimated at 284,000.

		The Bahamas reported on the state of the public debate regarding the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, which establishes the CSME, according to a communiqué, issued yesterday following the 26th meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community.
		Even though the government has stressed repeatedly that it had planned to secure certain reservations, including the free movement of people, there continued to be widespread fears that The Bahamas would have been flooded with foreign nationals had it signed the agreement.
		During the summit, heads of government also received a presentation on developments relating to security in the region, according to the communiqué, which says it was recognized that the issue of security needed to be frontally addressed and effectively tackled in order to maintain sustainable development.

		As members of this Honourable House are aware, on 1st March 2005 the Government executed a Heads of Agreement with the Developers of Passerine at Abaco, an upscale resort and residential project, which has the potential to be a significant investment in the economy of The Bahamas.
		I am advised that during this meeting, it was made clear to all present that the Government had not taken a decision on the development and that it was important to hear the views of the local community to aid in that process.
		And, the Heads of Agreement includes a commitment by the Developer to the construction of a five (5) to eight (8) acre beach park for use by the local community, including golf cart parking, restrooms and dock, with unfettered access to all beaches, including 500 feet of frontage on the Sea of Abaco.

		The Government has appealed for regional and international assistance to provide immediate emergency relief to the residents of both islands and also for the reconstruction which is to follow.
		Meanwhile, The Bahamas Government is trying to come to grips with the devastation left behind by Hurricane Frances, especially on the island of Grand Bahama where hundreds were left homeless.
		Frolicking around The Bahama Islands with a beating stick packed with fierce winds and rain, Frances acted like a woman stalking a bad man. She was an unruly tourist who aggravated Bahamians by staying for a whole week, destroying things that really did not belong to her.

		[1] Beyond the central Bahamas, to the southeast the islands are located on isolated small platforms, beyond which the Turks and Caicos begin.
		Concerned about the continued degradation of its marine resources, the government of the Bahamas was a pioneer in establishing its first Land and Sea National Park in 1958 in Exuma Cays.
		[12] This success has contributed to the government's announcement in 2000 of a policy decision to protect 20 percent of the Bahamian marine ecosystem, which led to the creation of 10 new national parks in 2002 to move the country closer to this goal.
