Focus on standards to improve tradeStandards and quality in Barbados and other CARIFORUM states are about to get a major boost as officials introduce a Quality Infrastructure Project which they say would help to address aspects of the region’s development and improve local, regional and international trade.This comes as Minister of Business Development and Senior Minister Coordinating the Productive Sector Kerrie Symmonds announced that Government would soon be introducing sanitary and phytosanitary legislation.“The conversation in Barbados must be about sanitary and phytosanitary standards, which is another piece of legislation that is now on our Order Paper which we are going to pass in Parliament to carry this country kicking and screaming into the 21st century. It has to come,” said Symmonds.
