    There is continuing uncertainty in Suriname following the closure of a pyramid scheme or a pyramid style investment scheme that is believed to have attracted millions of dollars worth of investment. Next, Caricom leaders are to make one final effort over the weekend to persuade the American President not to pursue the American challenge to the preferential quotas enjoyed by Caribbean bananas in Europe. After consultation among the leaders in Barbados it is agreed that the banana issue has emerged as a great divide between the Americans and the Caribbean ahead of the Summit. The leaders discuss the banana issue as well as the shiprider agreement affecting the region. The three members of the European Parliament on a fact finding visit to the Caribbean have been hearing from the banana industry officials and farmers about the problems facing the industry and the threatened survival of the banana dependent Windward Islands. However, the Members of the European Parliament dismiss any suggestions that the tour is providing false hope to a doomed industry and say that while they cannot make any promises to farmers they are unwavering in their commitment to pressure the European Commission to appeal the World Trade Organisation’s ruling. Next, a new bill is to be introduced into the US Congress could prove to be good news for Caribbean sugar producers. If the bill becomes law it would phase out government subsidies and open up the United States market to heavier imports. Finally, stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British press.

    A banana official from Guadeloupe comments on the importance of banana production to the country. However, these were the echoes across the islands when a fact finding mission of European MPs visited the Eastern Caribbean earlier this month. The Euro MPs meetings were fruitful as they were able to hear from the banana growers themselves who identified their problems. The mission coincided with the Barbados Summit between President Bill Clinton and Caricom Heads of Government. The matter of a WTO ruling against the EU’s banana import regime prompted by US featured at the Summit. However, President Bill Clinton did not give Caribbean leaders much hope over their banana concerns. President Clinton said that in pursuing the winning of our case at the World Trade Organisation our target was a discriminatory European system not the Caribbean nations. Trinidad and Tobago and St Vincent’s Prime Ministers commented on President Clinton’s speech. The EU would make an appeal against the WTO ruling. Next, Executive Director of the European Council for Europe, David Jessop and Gordon Myers, the European Representative of the Caribbean Bananas Exporters Association are interviewed on the banana issue with the World Trade Organisation. Next, in a debate in Strasburg, the Commissioner Franz Fischler says the Commission wants to investigate the implication of an appeal to the WTO ruling before taking further action. Finally, OECS Ambassador Edwin Laurent has the last word on ACP cooperation and the Caribbean stand on bananas.
