However the historic links with metropolitan France and the effect of past trade barriers are predominant, with only a small part of exports going to the Caribbean. As an example, only 3.3% of Guadeloupe’s exports go to the neighbouring OECS islands122. While the trade patterns have deep roots and will not change overnight, the fact that the exchanges are currently so low offers an opportunity for growth of trade and investment. France aims also to promote the broader economic integration of the DOMs / COMs in the Caribbean to broaden their economic base and reduce somewhat the dependency on transfers from metropolitan France. Some initiatives have started, with interesting opportunities being seen by SMEs in these French islands. The exchanges are being promoted by the organisation of trade fairs (Forum for trade with CARIFORUM countries in May 2007 in Guadeloupe, and delegations of business leaders from the French islands to Haiti in 2007)123. Also, through operations in Martinique and Guadeloupe, many larger French companies have experience operating in and out of Caribbean island environments and could be approached as trade and investment partners. 122 xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx - Initiative for Guadeloupe’s regional integration.
