dc.description.abstractIn this report, Cuban President Fidel Castro strongly criticised sugar workers and the construction industry for poor results and not achieving their targets. Castro also attacked the Cuban dollar-earners and stated it was time for them to pay income taxes. Meanwhile, a truck being used as a bus skidded off a mountain road in Cuba which killed at least fifteen people including three children and injured sixty-five people. Universite des Antilles et Guyane official Maurice Burac argued that the issue of licenses affecting trade between the French and English-speaking Caribbean should be addressed. French President Jacques Chirac has sent a message to congratulate Haiti's President-elect Rene Preval. The Director of the Trinidad and Tobago Institute of the West Indies, Lloyd Best states that he would like to see not only constitutional reform but also political and economic change in the Caribbean. Best comments on the spate of government changes in the region with particular focus on Trinidad and Jamaica. Dominica's Opposition Leader Rosie Douglas believes that Ecuadorian banana company, NOBIA will now support American objections to Europe's banana regime since it has lost out in its attempt to buy Geest. In cricket, former fast bowler Joel Garner argues that management must shoulder some of the blame for the team's poor run of form in Australia and stresses that Brian Lara will have a hard time fitting back into the team. In Bermuda, George Rush reports on the headline in the Bermuda Sun newspaper which states that the island has more prisoners per capita than any other democracy. Britain's Princess Diana has slipped out of London for a Caribbean vacation after a miserable Christmas.en_US
