PRIME Minister Dr Hubert Minnis leaves for Brussels, Belgium, this morning to hold bilateral talks with high-ranking officials of the European Commission.
Discussions will focus on matters relating to the fulfilment by The Bahamas of its commitments to the EU, and how those commitments will be implemented by the financial services sector of The Bahamas.
Prime Minister Minnis will be promoting recent initiatives by the Government in the financial services sector.
The Prime Minister will outline recently passed legislation and a new framework aimed at strengthening industry regulations and protecting the financial services’ competitive edge as a leading international financial centre.
“The Government is working diligently and in cooperation with industry stakeholders to do everything possible, in keeping with our national interests, to protect the financial services sector, while adhering to global standards,” said Prime Minister Minnis.
Attorney General Senator Carl Bethel; Viana Gardiner, COO PMDU; Stephen Coakley Wells, advisor to the Minister of Finance; Wendy Warren, CEO, Caystone Group; Michael Paton, partner, Lennox Paton; and a team of advisors will accompany the Prime Minister to Brussels.
Prime Minister Minnis and his delegation will return to Nassau on Wednesday.
Deputy Prime Minister K. Peter Turnquest will act as prime minister in the Prime Minister’s absence.

Is anyone from the WTO team promising them that we'll finish the accession process before the end of the year? Because they just told us Friday that they'll listen to us then decide

Turnquest is not all that. but he is a tiny bit above doc. one would have thought that Turnquest would be the one to go. I am trying to be kind here. so I say doc does not have what it takes to represent the Bahamas on the world stage, he runs into ditches when he opens his mouth in the Bahamas. sorry doc it is true.
