    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. In the US there are plans to slash in half the US contributions to the International Development Agency (IDA), a World Bank affiliate that lends money to the poorest countries. However, US President Bill Clinton promised that the US will not turn its back on the rest of the world and its poorest citizens. Barbadian Prime Minister Owen Arthur spoke on behalf of CARICOM and appealed to these lending institutions to understand the needs of developing countries. EU Agriculture Commissioner Franz Fischler continues to press for changes to the controversial EU import rules although they have worked well. In Trinidad, the opposition parties are keeping all their options open for a possible electoral arrangement. Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Soskovets paid the first ever visit to Cuba and called for the restoration of close trade and economic relations between the two countries. In cricket, the West Indies slip to a dramatic six run defeat against Sri Lanka in Sharjah. West Indies manager Andy Roberts praised Sri Lanka's performance. In Bermuda, residents are convinced that the Los Angeles police officer Mark Fuhrman has been holidaying on the island.

    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.
