Dominica observes Europe Day

The European Union is today observing Europe Day and Dominica has recognised the valuable partnership that exists between Europe and Dominica.

EU National Authorizing Officer Carleen Roberts says the European Union maintains a steadfast relationship with Dominica.

She says a magazine will be published to mark the occasion featuring several areas of collaboration in Agriculture through the Banana Accompanying Measures (BAM), in energy resilience and post disaster infrastructural development.

Roberts says the EU has signed an 11 million Euro contract to assist with post-Hurricane Maria reconstruction.

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said on Wednesday, though differences of opinions exist on certain matters, Dominica remains grateful for support provided by the EU in various areas.

He wish the European Union states success and best wishes on Europe Day.
