What the document holds
Searchlight (SVG), 10 Jul 2026, free web text: the European Commission letter of 25 Jun 2026 (Commissioner Brunner to the Antigua and Barbuda PM; similar letters to Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts-Nevis and Saint Lucia) asks the five Eastern Caribbean CBI states to phase out their programmes by 1 Jun 2028 with a 24-month transition, under the revised Visa Suspension Mechanism adopted 31 Dec 2025; interim measures (exclusion of persons under EU restrictive measures, reinforced vetting) by September 2026. No numbers about programme activity. Phase-out event already in data; this pass added the event of the revised mechanism's adoption (31 Dec 2025) as the article dates it.
