Abstract
Barbados identifies thirty-two alleged breaches of Caricom free trade rules. Barbados Minister of Industry and Commerce, Senator Reginald Farley states he is bemused by the methods and extent to which Caricom countries circumvent the rules on free trade. Trinidad and Tobago's role as a launching pad for British investments in Latin America was the subject of a discussion seminar in London. Tony Baldry, Britain's Foreign Office Minister for the Caribbean explains Trinidad's important role. Sidney Knox, Chairman of Trinidad's conglomerate Neal and Massy, comments on doing business in Latin America and whether there are any concrete results. A London Chartered Accountant is taking BWIA to court after he and his asthmatic wife were seated near smokers after booking non-smoking seats. The British press continues its examination of the West Indies crushing ten wicket defeat in the first test against Australia. Hugh Crosskill comments on these various reports. In Cuba, a television viewer complains about the steady stream of US movies and asks why more Latin American films are not shown on the two state-run channels.
