XII. TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATION:
The focus of this chapter
is the lifeline provided SIDS by transport and communication. The
prohibitive costs of both of these services -- due to SIDS distance
and isolation -- and the need to find innovative solutions to this
problem is the focus of the action points. Still to be resolved are
whether or not to include references to quarantine, which may have
impact on GATT agreements, and to what extent land transport
modernization has lagged behind major changes and continues to
degrade the environment.
