		This means, for example, that Barbados could bring a claim against Trinidad and Tobago before the Court, or Guyana could bring a claim against the CARICOM Secretariat.

		The OECS Contracting States unite in part because they can thereby "increase their bargaining power as regards third countries or groupings of countries." The ability of sub-groupings of states to unite and protect their interests in larger organisations is one of the key checks and balances in the operation of Caribbean regional organisations.

		This Caribbean-UK Ministerial structure is buttressed and supported by the Caribbean-UK Forum Committee consisting of Caribbean Heads of Mission in London, Foreign and Commonwealth Office representatives and the Caribbean Community Secretariat, thereby ensuring the appropriate blend of political, diplomatic and technical considerations.

	CARICOM Secretariat : Frequently Asked Questions
		A CARICOM Single Economy is an arrangement which further harmonises economic, monetary and fiscal policies and measures across all Member States of the Caribbean Community to underpin the sustainable development of the Region.
		It is an arrangement which allows CARICOM goods, services, people and capital to move throughout the Caribbean Community without tariffs and without restrictions to achieve a single large economic space, and to provide for a common Economic and Trade Policy.
		This would mean the coordination of foreign exchange and interest rate policies, the harmonisation of tax regimes and of laws and the convergence of economic performance among other measures
