critical issues
• asymmetry in trade between EU and CARIFORUM Architects
32 countries in EUROPE
586,877,058 population
16 countries in CARIFORUM
15,948,000 population
483,480 architects 0.8 arch./1000 pop.
5,400 architects 0.3 arch./1000 pop.
• some Caribbean governments slow to protect the safety and interest of their public by passing and
enforcing legislation which regulates the practice of architects and engineers
• Caribbean Governments slow to adopt a regional building codes (CROSQ - IBC)
• intra-regional MRA would support regional alliances and collaboration
• regional regulatory body potential or more dialogue between existing Boards of Architecture
• CPD and professional liability insurance minimum requirements to be set in CARIFORUM
next steps
• CAMRAC sourcing funding to meet regional institutes/boards to review consultants report & draft MRA
• CAMRAC sourcing funding to meet counterparts in EU (ACE) in Brussels to exchange information
• CAMRAC to prepare final draft MRA for Regional Negotiators
