Haiti - Economy : Crisis meeting at the extraordinary with Haitian truckers 19/08/2015 11:44:06
Ricardo de los Santos, Vice-President of the FENATRADO revealed that after a meeting in Jimani last Friday, in which the Haitian Federation of truckers, expressed the willingness of the ministers of Finance, Interior, Trade and Defense of Haiti to ensure the safety of road transport, the Haitian government had refused to sign a diplomatic protocol, requested by the Dominican carriers, as a real guarantee of life for drivers and protection of goods "We accept the expression of interest, but we put a condition, that a representative of the Haitian government and another from the Dominican government, meet with the carriers of both countries and that an agreement be signed by these officials, to have a guarantee that we have the support of the authorities of both countries," declared Ricardo de los Santos. Adding that he had contacted for this purpose, the Dominican ambassador in Haiti, Ruben Silié, which in turn contacted the Dominican Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrés Navarro who confirmed him they had no objection to participate in this meeting with carriers. However, he said that Haitians carriers when they reported this proposal to the representatives of their government, they received from it, a negative answer to attend this meeting. Following this meeting, the Minister Wilson Laleau, accompanied by the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, Edouard Jules, members of the Executive Secretariat of the Border Management Technical Committee, held a crisis meeting to the extraordinary with representatives of the Haitian Border Carriers union to inquire about the results of their talks with their Dominican counterparts.

According to the statement of the Government, Haitian Unionists would have "exposed the bad faith of the Dominican truckers of the FENATRADO, as well as their stubbornness to continue to block passage, towards the territory of Haiti, of all regular goods and containers, having completed all the formalities required by Dominican laws. Even containers, admitted in transit in Dominican ports, containing raw materials for the textile industry are also put in difficulty to be routed to our industrial parks." Those responsible for the Haitian union of carriers would have be, according to the Haitian government, "outraged by the irresponsible actions of the Dominican truckers and have called on the political leaders of both countries to act quickly to stem this crisis that could have incalculable consequences on trade transnational," in order to allow the recovery of a certain harmony in the flow of traffic and the movement of goods and people through official border points. Following this meeting the Haitian authorities decided that the National Port Authority (APN) will have to pursue actively its freight repatriation initiatives that transit through other regional ports, including that of the Dominican Republic. Moreover, the APN in collaboration with other bodies, shall take without delay the arrangements for reducing port charges in order to facilitate the textile industry sector in particular, to encourage him to use the port of Port-au-Prince and that of Cap-Haitien. Also was discussed that additional security measures are taken on all border lines, including the deployment of specialized units of the National Police of Haiti on the circuits connecting the border transit points to major cities. But no mention of the possible signing of any bilateral agreement as proposed by the FENATRADO...
