CONTACTS 98 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union (OCTs) made up a group of 25 countries and territories, which, despite a certain number of differences, have a lot in common, e.g. remoteness, insular micro-economies, a rich biodiversity, etc. The OCTs depend constitutionally on four European Union Member States: Denmark, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. As a consequence of the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union, from 1 February 2020, the 12 UK Overseas Territories are no longer Overseas Countries and Territories associated to the European Union. The OCTs do not form part of the territory of the EU, however, they benefit from an associate status conferred on them by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The OCTs’ “eligibility by principle” to EU programmes, other than the European Development Fund (EDF), was granted by the 2013 Overseas Association Decision (OAD) that came into force on 1 January 2014. The overall objective of this report is to provide OCTA and its members an up- date to the first report on their participation in the EU programmes, extending the period from 1 January 2014 until 31 July 2020. 6 TABLE 1: STATE OF PLAY BY OCT Total EU EU No of No of EU funding funding programmes projects benef. to OCTs to OCTs Horizon 2020 4 2 879 763 Anguilla 911 019 Erasmus+ 12 2 31 256 Erasmus+ 33 11 1 220 526 Aruba 1 402 533 European Solidarity Corps 4 2 182 007 Bonaire Erasmus+ 1 1 14 876 14 876 British Virgin Erasmus+ 6 2 0 168 553 Islands Horizon 2020 1 1 168 553 Cayman Islands Erasmus+ 2 1 38 780 38 780 Erasmus+ 22 4 888 806 Curaçao 947 965 European Solidarity Corps 3 1 59 159 COSME 1 1 253 754 French Erasmus+ 22 10 1 303 459 1 590 507 Polynesia European Solidarity Corps 1 1 16 582 Horizon 2020 3 2 16 712 French Southern and Antarctic Interreg Indian Ocean 3 1 1 575 269 1 575 269 Territories (TAAF) Erasmus+ 17 15 565 225 Greenland Horizon 2020 15 6 2 178 061 3 081 563 Interreg NPA 12 6 338 277 Montserrat Erasmus+ 5 2 0 0 COSME 1 1 394 437 New Caledonia Erasmus+ 33 5 904 735 2 189 415 Horizon 2020 5 4 890 243 Saba Erasmus+ 3 3 34 064 34 064 St-Barthelemy Interreg Caribbean 3 2 0 0 Erasmus+ 4 4 113 224 Sint Eustatius 113 224 Interreg Caribbean 1 1 0 Erasmus+ 38 6 385 305 Sint Maarten 385 305 Interreg Caribbean 3 3 0 Turks and Erasmus+ 3 1 35 304 35 304 Caicos Islands Interreg Caribbean 1 1 0 Total OCTs 234 130 12 488 376 12 488 376 7 TABLE 2: STATE OF PLAY BY EU PROGRAMME No of No of EU funding EU funding % of project projects benef. to projects to OCTs funds to OCT COSME 1 2 7 487 590 648 191 8.7% French Polynesia 1 1 7 487 590 253 754 3.4% New Caledonia 1 1 7 487 590 394 437 5.3% Erasmus+ 177 95 13 693 776 5 535 560 40.4% Aruba 33 11 4 523 145 1 220 526 27.0% Bonaire 1 1 29 751 14 876 50.0% British Virgin Islands 6 2 268 492 0 0.0% Cayman Islands 2 1 69 769 38 780 55.6% Curaçao 22 4 1 041 319 888 806 85.4% French Polynesia 22 10 2 569 701 1 303 459 50.7% Greenland 17 8 2 027 549 565 225 27.9% Montserrat 5 2 0 0 0.0% New Caledonia 33 5 1 193 120 904 735 75.8% Saba 3 3 100 640 34 064 33.8% St Eustatius 4 4 113 224 113 224 100% Sint Maarten 38 6 1 234 968 385 305 30.0% Turks and Caicos Islands 2 1 398 183 35 304 8.9% European Solidarity Corps 8 4 257 748 257 748 100% Aruba 4 2 182 007 182 007 100% Curaçao 3 1 59 159 59 159 100% French Polynesia 1 1 16 582 16 582 100% Horizon 2020 27 15 158 414 944 4 133 331 2.6% Anguilla 4 2 7 536 715 879 763 11.7% British Virgin Islands 1 1 5 395 296 168 553 3.1% French Polynesia 3 2 20 138 801 16 712 0.1% Greenland 15 6 92 075 757 2 178 060 2.4% New Caledonia 5 4 45 232 583 890 243 1.9% Interreg Caribbean 6 7 9 007 725 0 0% Saint-Barthelemy 3 2 4 139 809 0 0.0% Sint Eustatius 1 1 1 356 666 0 0.0% Sint Maarten 3 3 3 846 286 0 0.0% Turks and Caicos Islands 1 1 2 320 700 0 0.0% Interreg Indian Ocean 3 1 1 575 269 1 575 269 100.0% French Southern and 3 1 1 575 269 1 575 269 100.0% Antarctic Territories (TAAF) Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic 12 6 9 581 655 338 277 3.5% Greenland 12 6 9 581 655 338 277 3.5% Total OCTs 234 130 200 018 707 12 488 376 6.2% 8 In addition, the OCTs took part in the BEST 2.0 programme, which was specially de- signed to support the conservation of biodiversity in the OCTs.

  • Eye of the Wind Segeltoern
    Fri 02 March 2018 - Tue 13 March 2018 Since the time of Christopher Columbus, the Bermuda Triangle – the mysterious region in the Atlantic Ocean between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda – has been the subject of 'sailor's yarn', which sometimes tells stories of ships and planes that have disappeared without a trace, and of alleged hauntings or inexplicable natural phenomena. However, maritime superstition is not in our luggage on this crossing, as the Eye of the Wind will not be sailing into the legendary triangle, but instead only into the northern boundary point – the dreamlike Bermuda archipelago. This is where you will go on board: Marina Fort Louis, Marigot / Saint Martin The Princess Juliana international airport is located in the Dutch southern half of the twin island of Sint Maarten / Saint Martin and is easily reached from many major airports. A unique attraction worth seeing is immediately visible on anchoring at the Caribbean island paradise: on the nearby Maho Beach, the distance between landing airplanes and beach-goers' heads (or the masts of the boats anchored there) is often only a few metres. On a chalkboard attached to a surfboard, the arrival times of the largest planes are announced for hobby photographers every day. You can reach Marigot by taxi or minibus with a short drive. By the way, the EURO is the official currency in the French part of Saint Martin. Take advantage of your stay for a relaxing day at the breathtaking Dawn Beach. Our tip: Saint Martin is considered the 'culinary capital of the Caribbean' – do not miss the local specialties made from the guava fruit.

  • Continuity, Change and Constraints in the Institutional Landscape of Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and Trinidad and Tobago
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 113-130 Ideas and impact: Continuity, change and constraints in the institutional landscape of Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and Trinidad and Tobago Genève Phillip-Durham Institute of International Relations, University of the West Indies, Trinidad [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: In the context of Caribbean small island jurisdictions, a picture has customarily been painted of bloated bureaucracies, the prevalence of state institutions in the mechanics of governance, institutional weakness and a lack of institutional innovation. We argue that particularistic claims about enduring institutional structures and behaviours have not come about in a vacuum. Our core contribution is toward Caribbean comparative scholarship from an institutional standpoint, whereby we utilize selected aspects of a constructivist theoretical framework, together with a Most Similar Systems Research Design. The findings and analysis are based on the triangulation of secondary data and primary data collected in 2015, via a series of elite interviews conducted in Curaçao and Sint Maarten, two Subnational Island Jurisdictions (SNIJs); and Trinidad and Tobago, an independent Small Island Developing State (SIDS). The primary thrust of our debate is to articulate the position that much of what obtains in public institutions in the Caribbean has been shaped by patterns of ideational diffusion and norm formation, which can be traced to colonial experiences. We grapple with this notion by exploring, inter alia, the sociopolitical heritage and continuity and change within the institutional structures of the named islands.

  • Caribbean Basin Exporter Guide
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/19/2016 GAIN Report Number: CB1610 Caribbean Basin Exporter Guide Caribbean Basin Exporter Guide Approved By: Richard A. Battaglia, Director Prepared By: Omar Gonzalez, International Trade Specialist Report Highlights: Import-friendly Caribbean islands gobbled up $1 billion in U.S. consumer-oriented foods and fish products in 2015, capping over a dozen years of steady growth in U.S. exports to the region in these categories. With limited agricultural production, most Caribbean islands rely heavily on imported food products, particularly from the United States. As tourist arrivals in most islands continue to improve, prospects for further market expansion are always present. This report aims to provide U.S. suppliers general information on export opportunities in the Caribbean Basin. Post: Miami ATO Executive Summary: NOTE: For purposes of this report, the term “Caribbean” refers to the Caribbean Basin Agricultural Trade Office’s (CBATO) islands of coverage: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, The Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, the Caribbean Netherlands or BES Islands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), Saint Barthélemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Sint Maarten, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks and Caicos Islands. The Office of Agricultural Affairs based in Santo Domingo covers the islands of Hispaniola and Jamaica. The Caribbean is an excellent market for U.S. suppliers, due in large part to the fact that demand for imported food products is largely inelastic.

As a result of the islands’s duty free status and the relatively large population base, the island has developed into a distribution hub for the food service sectors on the surrounding islands of Anguilla, Saba, St. Batherlmey, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Eustatius. With poor soil and a limited water supply, the island must import nearly all of its food needs. Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Unscheduled Report Miami [C11], C1 GAIN Report #C11014 Page 1 of 8 SECTION I: MARKET SUMMARY Sint Maarten/Saint Martin’s hotel, restaurant and institution (HRI) or food service sector is as dynamic as its dependence on the tourism market and as eclectic as its multi-cultural population base. As a result of the island’s duty free status and the relatively large population base, the island has developed into a distribution hub for the food service sectors on the surrounding islands of Anguilla, Saba, St. Barthelmey, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Eustatius. St. Maarten/St. Martin wholesalers import an estimated $37 million in food service products. With poor soil and a limited water supply, the island must import nearly all of its food needs.

  • CONIFA As a Platform for Football Diplomacy
    The Hague Journal of Diplomacy 15 (2020) 329-354 brill.com/hjd Para- and Proto-Sports Diplomacy of Contested Territories: CONIFA as a Platform for Football Diplomacy Ramesh Ganohariti School of Law and Government, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland [email protected] Ernst Dijxhoorn Institute of Security and Global Affairs, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] Received: 26 November 2019; revised: 21 April 2020; accepted: 23 May 2020 Summary International relations and sport have become increasingly intertwined, with sport and sports events being used for various diplomatic and political goals. Yet, member- ship of FIFA and the IOC is largely organised along lines of sovereign statehood. Like other fora of diplomacy, this excludes contested territories that wish to engage in di- plomacy for various political, economic, and cultural reasons. Yet, these entities can engage in international sports (diplomacy) through membership of the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA). This paper finds that while the par- ticipating entities often make a political statement, there is little evidence that par- ticipation in CONIFA has positively impacted their foreign policy goals. Furthermore, beyond CONIFA, contested territories have been unable to advance their sporting sov- ereignty or engage in diplomatic relations with recognised states. However, CONIFA aids in nation branding through hosting rights and media attention, and contributes to strengthening the ‘national’ identity
