    In this report, Dominica, St. Lucia and Martinique are threatened by hurricane Marilyn. Meterological official Victor Larry comments on whether hurricane Marilyn could end up being as powerful as Luis. St. Lucia braces for the impact of hurricane Marilyn which has constantly defied prediction and has an erratic course. Dominica is also bracing itself while still recovering from hurricane Luis. Martinique continues to be on full alert for the effects of the hurricane. The Dutch-French St. Martin deals with the new threat of hurricane Marilyn which has interrupted post-Luis mopping up operations. Victor Larry comments on how many more hurricanes can be expected and when last the region experienced such an active season. Meanwhile, the European Commission has announced humanitarian aid for Caribbean countries hit by hurricane Luis. In a meeting with the American President Bill Clinton, Jamaica's Prime Minister P.J. Patterson emphasized the importance of Caribbean banana access to the European market after the devastation caused by hurricane Luis. The Jamaican leader insisted that now it was more vital that the US drops its opposition to Europe's banana regime.
