In a statement issued, Vice-Chancellor Sir Hilary Beckles said the UWI \u201cstands with the governments of the Caribbean in protesting the recent actions by the EU and calling for a more transparent and equitable regulatory system and joins the call for the EU to enter into a process to resolve the issue.\u201d

\n\u201cTo this end, The University of the West Indies will continue to put its expertise and research capacity at the service of governments, the private sector and regional organizations to craft appropriate policy responses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sir Hilary warned the unilateral move stood to have a deleterious effect on these economies, while accusing the EU of singlehandedly \u201cderailing\u201d and \u201cundermining\u201d the global financial system.
