    From Barbados to Washington there is a growing concern about the future of the banana industry. In Washington a high profiled lobbyist dumped two thousand pounds of bananas near Capital Hill. The protest was against the World Trade Organisation ruling in favour of the United States criticism of Europe’s banana regime. In Barbados, the Head of the European Commission for the Eastern Caribbean expresses his concern for the ruling. He believes that it would affect negatively the prices for growers in the Windward Islands. He further believes if the prices drop drastically farmers may stop producing and one could imagine the effects of such a turn. Would banana farmers be able to find alternative crops? He said in the meanwhile the European Community was already looking at medium term help. Also, a team of European MPs is on its fact finding mission examining the banana industry in the Caribbean. The Head of this team believes that it would be very difficult for banana farmers to find an alternative crop and that this decision would have an effect on the United States. Next, as the American President’s visit to the region continues the American leader today presses home his message on free trade during his visit to Mexico. Caricom leaders meet in Barbados to finalise their agendas for a week of discussion with the American President. Next, Britain’s Overseas Development Minister says that the new Labour government will increase the aid budget as the economy picks up. She gives a strong indication that the government’s international development policy will be more wide ranging in aid. Next, the official newspapers in Cuba today accuses the United States of deliberately introducing the island to a microscopic insect that attacks crops. Finally, the environment and development in Guyana was the subject of a conference in Southern England. The coordinator of the conference said that the primary concern was the effects of a larger number of logging and mining operations on Guyana’s Amerindians. Still in Guyana, the agreement with the Malaysia Vijaya Timber Group covering three quarter of a million acres continues to be met with some opposition in Guyana. Guyana has no environmental legislation and the investigation into the Omai Gold Cyanide spill found official monitoring to be weak.

    In this report, plans for European aid cuts against the backdrop of separate British aid cuts were severely criticized. The Secretary-General of the ACP Group Carl Greenidge comments that this means the Caribbean would be dealt a double body blow.

    The United States President has promised Caribbean Heads of Government that he will seek swift congressional approval of a Caribbean Basin Trade Enhancement Act. It is widely accepted in the Caribbean that President Clinton’s visit was a historic one, however, the views from the United States is much less flattering. The American Times found the conference in the Caribbean comical. Next, the United States President and the Caribbean leaders signed an agreement to cooperate in fighting the drug trade. The London Guardian reports that while the United States is keeping a close eye on drug trafficking in the bigger Caribbean Islands, South American cocaine barons have increasing influence in the region’s smaller states. Next Guyana’s Elections Commission has been considering the adoption of a code of conduct and stricter regulation of the parties hoping to contest the election. Also, Guyana’s Parliament has approved the controversial change of name of the national airport from Timehri to Dr Cheddi International Airport. Next, a report by the U.S. Human Rights Watch is recommending tougher laws to deal with racism and racial attacks in Britain. The report says racially motivated attacks in Britain have increased three fold over the past decade and the Labour government says that legislative changes are being considered as corrective measures and Labour would be tough on racism. Next, President Bill Clinton is due to apologise to survivors of a federal experiment in Alabama looking at the effects of syphilis on black men. The study which began in 1932 monitored the effects of untreated syphilis on black men living in Tuskegee. Finally, an Australian marathon swimmer completed a historic swim across the Florida Straits.
