Yearbook 2002
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. According to Countryaah website, national day of Saint Vincent and Grenadines is every October 27. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines deepened their cooperation during the year with other Eastern Caribbean countries. In March, the eastern Caribbean organization OECS decided that residents of the nine member states could move freely within the region for up to six months. At year-end 2002/2003 they would then receive joint passports. At the turn of the year 2002/2003, an Eastern Caribbean Economic Union would also be formed. Then free movement of goods and services would begin to apply, while free movement of labor would be introduced in 2007.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines hoped, through integration, to strengthen their position in the international export market.
