| dc.description.abstract | In the aftermath of the general elections in the Dominican Republic, there are widespread rumours that Joaquin Balaguer has won the elections and secured a sixth term in office. While his reformist party is declaring him president, the two main opposition parties are claiming serious electoral malpractice and fraud. Secondly, a draft proposal by Britain on restricting of the banana market after 1992 is causing alarm amongst Caribbean banana producers. In the proposal, Britain is requesting a quota on the import of bananas to the EEC which is deemed by some analyst as impractical and could lead to a drastic fall in the price of bananas for Caribbean countries. Following the Financial News, the murder of a wealthy Englishman in St. Maarten is the latest in a series of violent crimes on the island. The report concludes with the appointment of David Taylor as the new governor of Montserrat, a former Chief Executive of the Falkland Islands. | en_US |
