| dc.description.abstract | The US ambassador to Port of Spain says his government has no intention of taking on the region through the shiprider agreement. Next, the Ambassador of the Organisation of the Eastern Caribbean States is shedding more light on the European Parliament’s position on the ACP banana quota. Next, the Prime Minister of Grenada has said that things are patched up between him and his former deputy. She was removed from her position after failing to attend a recent convention of the ruling New National Party. Next, an American based group, the Washington Office on Haiti has made fresh charges about the alleged sweatshop conditions endured by workers in Haiti, employed by the Walt Disney Company. Next, there is cautious optimism coming out of an Amsterdam Conference that progress is being made in the fight against the world wide problem of child labour. The conference zeroed in on the most intolerable forms of child labour. Next, stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British press. In the final segment, the European Union is to provide Guyana with a grant to help improve its malfunctioning water supply in the transportation systems as well as its private sector. Also its finance minister has expressed concern about the government and private sector views on the continuing uncertainty of the accessibility of Guyana’s rice. | en_US |
