He said however, that new deadlines will have to be set with more reasonable targets in mid year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear though that in July, what we will have to do is re-evaluate the deadlines that were set for the implementation of certain things and to identity more reasonable target s for that implementation,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>HERMISHA ROLLE, DOMINICA NEWS ONLINE.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roseau, Dominica: Barbados Prime Minister David Thompson said that the global financial crisis has set back the implementation of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) in the region.
