Cabinet Notes:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Cabinet invited the Head of the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCA) and an Antiguan and Barbudan expert on Aviation matters to address the issue of returning the countries of ECCA to Category One Status.<\/p>\n

It was agreed that certain legislation has to be put in place and also the upgrade of certain security measures.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The building in which the ECCA is housed is in need of repairs.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The office will move temporarily while the Ministry of Works undertakes to complete the repairs and return the building to the ECCA in as short a time as possible.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement which permits ECCA to be placed in Antigua, the country is legally obligated to provide offices at no cost.<\/p>
