| dc.description.abstract | At a recent conference in Puerto Rico, David Jessop, the Executive Director of the London-based West India Committee says that a lack of creative thinking amongst the private and public sectors in the Caribbean is preventing its successful penetration of European markets after 1992. He outlines ten main constraints facing the Caribbean and proposes ideas for consideration. In response to Mr. Jessop’s statements, Pat Thompson of the Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce says that Caribbean initiatives are already underway to develop export markets in Europe but he agrees that a lot more needs to be done. Following the Financial News, according to a report published in London the world sugar market is likely to remain tight in spite of recent adjustments to assessments of the 1989-1990 supply and demand balance. In the next segment, Suriname is calling on the Organization of American States to assist in disarming the rebel groups that have been fighting amongst themselves over the last two years. The report concludes with Nicholas Brathwaite, Grenada’s Prime Minister, dismissing claims of shabby treatment of the former High Commissioner of London, Oswald Gibbs. Mr. Brathwaite states that it was in fact the senior diplomatic staff in London that did not act in accordance with diplomatic protocol. | en_US |
