Abstract

European Commissioner for Agriculture, Franz Fischler is pushing for Europe to offer the US concessions in the dispute over the banana regime. Jamaican Ambassador in Brussels, Douglas Saunders expresses his concern over any proposed changes to the banana protocol. The issue of the banana regime was introduced at the on-going OAS General Assembly in Haiti. Suriname moves closer to becoming the first non-English speaking nation to be accepted into CARICOM. In Antigua the police has asked for a month to compile evidence in the murder case against American John Baughman. The commission of inquiry continues in St. Lucia with the cross examination of former United Workers Party campaign manager Victor Marquis. Mr. Marquis was questioned by attorney Clarence Rambally who is representing Dr. Charles Flemming. In cricket, both the West Indies and England have something to prove as they head into the first of the six test series.
