table>(1)The Economic Partnership Agreement between the CARIFORUM States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part (1) (‘the Agreement’), was signed on 15 October 2008 and has been provisionally applied since 29 December 2008.
(2)Pursuant to Article 230(4) of the Agreement, the CARIFORUM-EU Trade and Development Committee may set up and oversee any special committee to deal with matters falling within its competence.

(3)In order to deal more efficiently with all matters of the Agreement that relate to trade in services, the CARIFORUM-EU Trade and Development Committee intends to adopt a decision establishing a Special Committee on Services.
