Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris’ held discussions with Mrs. Sharlene Shillingford-McKlmon, Charge d’Affaires at the Eastern Caribbean States Embassy to Belgium and Missions to the European Union.
Mrs. Shillingford-McKlmon also reported on the efforts being made by the Eastern Caribbean States Embassy in Brussels to assist countries like St. Kitts and Nevis that have been listed as non-cooperative tax jurisdictions by the European Union.
She noted that OECS Member States are committed to ensuring that they meet international compliance requirements, and anticipates that St. Kitts and Nevis will be removed from the EU list within a matter of months.
“I want to thank you for the diligent way in which you have attempted to grapple with the matter of the EU listing of St. Kitts and Nevis and your follow up work in relation to that. As you have just indicated the matter is not yet resolved, and so we have to continue to be vigilant,” Dr. Harris said.
