Good for the EU! A good well organized market is sure to increase understanding and provide employment opportunities for both peoples!

What does excessive cost of anything built here have to do with the quality of the finished product?

Why not create a market in the side of Haiti?
The dominican treated badly the haitian in the other side. It's time to have a real market but in the side of Haiti. like that the dominicans can come here.
