The Cabinet invited two groups, separately, to address the issue of transitioning from paper Electronic Embarkation/Disembarkation (ED) Cards to Electronic ED Cards, for all passengers entering Antigua and Barbuda.

The Customs and Excise Division, The Immigration Department, the Inland Revenue Department and Officials from the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Finance were all present to evaluate the proposals and to help Cabinet determine which is the better-suited firm. 

Last week, Cabinet invited another firm to make a similar presentation since the Gaston Browne Administration is determined to ensure that the transition takes place before December 31.

All three firms, in presenting to Cabinet, addressed the capability of better marketing, improved research capability, and identification of persons of interest from any police database.

The Cabinet has not yet determined which of the three will become the supplier; however, cost considerations will remain a critical factor in the decision-making.
