Under the rules of the CSME you now have the right to establish commercial presence anywhere in the Caribbean, so Dominica can set up water supply companies in any Caribbean country&#8230; The export of water is gonna be a major consideration for Dominica; i think you should do it,\u201d he underscored.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur also suggested a water purification plant for Dominica, once it decides to move ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Dominica has lately been speaking about an industry for water exportation to the wider region and the need to make the most of its \u201cabundant\u201d water supply.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8211; DNO Correspondent<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former leader of Barbados Owen Arthur has joined in the discussion regarding Dominica&#8217;s possibility to export water to its Caribbean neighbours, advising the country that is should do so.
