Caribbean Report 01-03-1990

Abstract

First time in sixteen years the English cricket team registers a test triumph over the West Indies by winning the first test of the five test series at Sabina Park, Jamaica. Following the Financial News, the Caricom ministers call for a face-to-face meeting with the Foreign Minister of the Dominican Republic to explain his country’s position on the export of bananas to Europe. The next segment covers the potential row between the Caribbean countries and Africa over the election of a Director General for Brussels-based Centre for the Development of ACP Industry. The report concludes with the proposal by the new government of Belize to deregulate the media.
