AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoEU Outermost-Regions Strategy: The European Commission unveiled a new strategy and regulatory package for EU outermost regions, explicitly naming Guadeloupe and other territories, aiming to better adapt EU rules to local constraints. Deforestation Regulation Update: In a related move, Brussels proposes removing French Guiana from the territorial scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation, using a special procedure—meaning EUDR-covered products could be traded with Brazil without the regulation applying locally, while shipments to the rest of the EU would still need to comply. Franco-Caribbean Mobility & Cooperation: PM Browne and the new French ambassador discussed climate action, visa-free travel concerns, and closer ties with the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus, plus stronger links with Guadeloupe and Martinique in transport, trade and people-to-people exchanges. Canada-EU Trade Talks: Mark Carney is reportedly exploring “associate member” status with the EU amid Canada–US tariff tensions, with talks focused on energy, AI, defence and critical minerals—an agenda that could indirectly matter for Caribbean trade and investment flows. Cruise Market Signal for Guadeloupe: Explora Journeys announced Caribbean sailings for mid-October 2026 to March 2027, listing Guadeloupe among destinations, supporting continued demand for regional tourism capacity.
