Secondly, the Secretary General of the ACP, Edwin Carrington vacates his post at the Secretariat this week after serving for 13 years. The report covers his final achievements in office and comments on his chances of re-election to the Secretariat. Following the Financial News, a four-man delegation from the commission of the Permanent Conference of Latin American Political Parties recently completed a fact finding visit to Haiti to ensure free and fair elections later this year.
