"I decided to support this agreement as the short-stay visas simultaneously represent a culmination of the deepening of relations between the European Union and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and are an additional way of stepping up economic and cultural relations and intensifying political dialogue on various issues, including human rights and fundamental freedoms. In the economic sphere, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has been through a difficult period, marked in particular by natural disasters and deterioration in the terms under which its main agricultural product, the banana, is exported. These facts have acted as a brake on the country’s economic recovery and have seriously damaged its tourism. Nonetheless, in recent years Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has achieved positive socioeconomic progress. Thanks to the macroeconomic policies pursued, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has improved its foreign-trade performance and has been able to initiate with success a programme to diversify its economy, which is still focused on bananas, but also accompanied by measures to increase the volume of exports, boost tourism and improve the level of social development. This agreement will make it possible to step up relations further between the two parties and to impart fresh impetus to trade."@en1
